I find it fascinating that American football fans obsess over quarterback completion percentages, a metric treating all throws equally despite obvious difficulty variance, while simultaneously accepting a sport named after an activity representing less than 10% of gameplay involving an object that violates the geometric definition of its namesake. This suggests a fundamental cognitive dissonance about both nomenclature and statistical rigor that any social psychologist would immediately recognize as motivated reasoning protecting emotional investment in childhood entertainment preferences.

Only 2 codes of Football use a spherical ball, Association and Gaelic, all other codes use an oblong ball. Retard.

Correct. Handegg is retarded. Closed league format. Calling your cities team a franchise. No relegation or promotion linking the top league with amateur grassroots league that anyone can setup.
The ad break spam. The fact they are called athletes but only for 10 seconds max. The list goes on and on.

Your use of 'oblong ball' is evasive. The correct term is 'prolate spheroid,' which by definition is NOT a ball. What you've essentially admitted is that the majority of 'football' codes don't actually involve balls, yet you've somehow concluded this validates rather than indicts the nomenclature.

Oh yeah, well… bababooey
