History MemesWhat about the step where it's called soccer
by the rogue colony that still has not managed to learn what public healthcare is*
Thats one of my biggest triggers in conversation, it makes me genuinely mad when you say Soccer and some asshole has to "correct" you.
In Australia theres 4 games that are called some variety of "Football" or "Footy" by different people, by me saying "Soccer" which is an abbreviation of the old british term for it I'm simply defining which variety of football I'm talking about. When they pipe up with "You know the rest of the world..." SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PONTIFICATING CUNT! Everyone understood what I meant when I said Soccer, it communicated all of the necessary information. It narrowed it down to what variety of football I was refering too. Bonus get fucked if you put a fake accent on and tell me its pronounced fùtbol.
yeah the part where we call it what THEY CALLED IT WHEN THEY NAMED IT kinda irks me
Interesting to look at the big 4 US sports:
-
football: invented in the US, never really exported, US's undeniably the best
-
baseball: invented in the US, exported to East Asia and the Caribbean. World title is contentious with japan with the most titles, but also because top US talent doesn't participate in international games
-
basketball: invented in the US, exported to the balkans, US still the best
-
hockey: invented in canada, exported to countries where ice exists, Canada still the best with most world titles
So I'd say Canada is the best at making a sport, exporting it to a decent amount of countries, and still dominating the sport.
When it comes to basketball, as much as I want to, I can't get into a sport where all the skill in the world can be outdone by an abnormal pituitary gland.
I mean that's all sports, the gene lotto trumps training every time, it's just more obvious in basketball.
basketball was exported onky to the balkans? what? are you sure?
Of course, how could I forget the ballin democratic peoples republic of Korea where dear leader loves basketball
But seriously, was mostly just looking at world titles and Yugoslavia, RIP, and the USSR have been the only other country to challenge the US in basketball.
If you know any other countries where it's popular lmk and I can update it.
We've still got the snooker! Wait, hold on...

It’s its ffs
decide it is rules
well it is
Didn't notice until I read your comment, now I can't un-see it FFS
decide it's rules
Yes. It IS rules.
this just means they are top game inventors. would be silly to make a game only oneself can win.
really hard to export if you win all the time.
Export cricket worldwide, only players are in the Indian subcontinent.
