I haven't really researched this but the soccer is the original football. From that football came rugby, and from rugby came American football. So therefore, soccer gets the privilege of being called football because not only do the people calling it that vastly outnumber the people calling it soccer, it's what American football was named after anyway. |

Completely not the point at all. FL was irritated because he was TOLD, not asked, TOLD to speak a certain way. That it involved football of any kind (and I don't care what you call which one) was completely coincidental. FL made that fairly clear in one of his previous posts. To sum up: Football - irrelevant, no point in pursuing that line Asking for clarity in issues where some confusion might occur - would be appreciated, but didn't happen Dictating language patterns - definitely not appreciated, don't do it unless you wish to be told where to go The Administration - has weighed in, the matter should be dropped This thread - about Volleyball, and the hooligans thereof Enough - is enough. |

TBlack: Tits Des, tits. Yes dear, I saw. FL: Fine, so I'm opinionated - old news. | |
