"When you look at what has happened to #football in the #US, #soccer in the #USA we seem to never call it because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it shouldn't it really be called- this is football there's no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the #NFL. It really doesn't make sense when you think about it"

-Donald #Trump, transcendental philosopher

Trump likes grift, FIFA likes grift. His motivation here is not that deep. Nothing is deep with this shallow muddy pool of a man.

@benroyce Actually, as a European I always wondered why Americans want to call a game football, when it is obviously predominantly played by holding, throwing and catching a ball with the hands and why they chose to call another game, where the ball is almost exclusively played by shooting it with the feet, soccer.

That said, it has been that way for roughly two centuries, everybody is used to it, and normally a U.S. President should have bigger fish to fry.

This man is seriously unwell!
