Yeah an American Football still counts as a ball tbh they don't have to be round :/

Another example of Brian having no idea what he is talking about.

"From this point onwards the two versions of football were distinguished by reference to their longer titles, Rugby Football and Association Football (named after the Football Association)," Szymanski writes. "The rugby football game was shortened to 'rugger,'" while "the association football game was, plausibly, shortened to 'soccer.'"

The problem isn't really when y'all say ''soccer'' (although I got to admit I think it sounds stupid af), it's when people from the US correct us or call us stupid for calling football football.
