Also wasn't Cars 2 rated G? The bad cars brutally murder other cars in that movie. That shit was fucked up.

Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?

Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that's kind of long-- maybe we can just say "asoc football" to save time.

Actually now that I think of it, people just say "rugby" instead of "rugby football," so maybe we can drop the "football" part as well, and just say "asoc."

There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we're interested in. Now I just hope the school children don't mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it "rugger..."

To be fair, pretty much anybody who'd use Messi's name in context is gonna say "football" and never "soccer".

He plays for Inter Miami in the MLS. I assure you, plenty of Messi fans use the term soccer.

You mean "Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami"?

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, that’s the Major League Soccer team I’m referring to. As I said, there are plenty of Messi fans that call the sport soccer. Your claim is objectively false.

I don’t think you’re approaching this extremely serious argument with the necessary gravitas.
