[split] AF Hall of Shame, various discussion including Denmark & bible contradiction

[Jackalope]

Any nation ruled by birthright is endemically religious. Id Est, a Monarchy.

Yeah, I am Republican, but not American Republican. I feel this has to be translated much alike American football, to real football. The one you use your feet in a ball instead of or hand on an egg.

Oh, goodie.... no more Denmark!

Actually, the term soccer is a British one.
And they are all football - as in played on foot. As opposed to sports played on horseback.... way back when, in Britain, that seemed like a sensible distinction... or so the tale I was told goes...

The football we call football and americans now call soccer is actually "association football" (hence, FIFA - Federation International de Football Association - yeah, it's in French).
Rugby is actually "Rugby Football", originating at Rugby School in Rugby, Warwickshire, England.
And then you have the obvious American football, as an evolution of Rugby, with some rules of association football thrown in.

And there you go... What on Earth made these guys think it was a good idea to have the equivalent of fights disguised as a sport?
But there you have them... rugby and America football are both barbaric to my eyes... but, I guess, like with the old gladiators, people do like to see others fighting among themselves and will pay good money for it.

I'ts also worth noting that American football and association football originated at approximately the same time and were very close to the same game at the time. American football evolved in an entirely different direction. American football seems oddly named if you don't know that history.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled semantic argument.
