Language evolves. The word football means American Football in the American language.
‘The American language’? Last I checked, you didn’t have a language of your own. The day you’re able to come up with one by yourselves and not butcher someone else’s, you can call your parody of a sport whatever you want. And, as I said, if you wish to have an ‘american football’ discussion, please call it by it’s full name, so that the rest of us (i.e. everywhere except America) can understand. Oh, and the initial poster, the partially hidden one, whilst misinformed, meant real football, hence Lionel Messi.
Oh, and to reiterate, none of them are role models.
