    Football needs to change its name.

    Why is football called football? The only time a foot is actually used is on field goals, kickoffs, and punts, so it doesn't make any sense like it does for soccer, and we all know that the rest of the world considers that as "football". Do you guys think they will ever change their name?

    Mcduggly pal,

    Transfer me a large sum of points bud, and I will agree with you. Hand egg sounds nice.

    Who cares about the rest of the world. Unlike Goodell I think most Americans think the NFL is doing just fine without a team from London

    I have to agree. I think Goddell will at some point lobby to call it a more appropriate name like "Throwball"
