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

    Obviously you know I was referring to association football. I’m aware of the etymology of soccer and ruggers, but thank you for your insightful comment. It genuinely was a nice read. While etymology is interesting. It doesn’t dictate the current usage of language.

    On the topic, I used to play Aussie Rules (Australian Football).

      It’s pretty annoying when some rando on the internet pretends not to understand what you were referring to, isn’t it?

      Thank you! There are two wolves in my heart: One favors being snobby toward the way Americans say things. The other favors being pedantic about term specificity.

      “Soccer” causes these wolves to fight.
