What’s your most controversial opinion?

Are you trying to argue that association football is called football because they mostly kick the ball around with their feet? Do you have an explanation as to why the older sport of rugby football is called football despite not kicking the ball all that much? Are you embracing your Trumpian side with this sort of argument?

Ooooookayyyy...

Am I arguing that Association Football, a game where the ball is almost exclusively propelled by the feet and only one player is allowed to use their hands, is called football because they mainly kick the ball?

Yes. That's exactly what I'd argue. In much the same way that handball is a ball game where the participants use their hands, and volleyball is so called because the ball isn't allowed to be caught.

Rugby football was first played in 1823 in Rugby school (a town in England) where according to legend a boy, William Webb Ellis, picked to the ball during a game of football and ran with it. It is named Rugby after the place, and the Rugby Union World Cup is named after him. It was first codified in 1845.

Association football wasn't codified until 1863, but just because it was codified afterwards it doesn't mean Rugby came first.

The thing about both games is that every player is allowed to kick the ball whenever it is in play.

American football, by contrast, is played almost exclusively with the hands, and only a few players are actually allowed to kick the ball, and only on specific occasions.

They are all called ‘football’ because the players run around on a field.

When I pointed out that means any game where you run around on a field such as lacrosse is, by your definition, a form of football

Those sports are not called football.

Do lacrosse players run around on the field? Yes
Then why isn't it called Lacrosse football, if that's the reason why games are called football.

Oh, and nice touch calling me Trumpian for having a view you disagree with...

There are different types of avos so to just lump them as one I would say is wrong. I am not particularly fond of Green Avos (nothing to do with ripeness) but I absolutely love Hass Avos. That said I will eat sliced avo plain on pizza but my fave is half avo mashed in it's skin with ground black pepper and balsamic vinegar, you should try it ;)

Yea, that's what someone told me once. It was a trap!
 
I think everybody should have started say things like, "That's so fetch." Those damn mean girls shut it down...


Cher could have totally made it happen.
 
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are three unalienable rights enumerated in the U. S. Declaration of Independence – nowhere does it guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of happiness.
