if you're American (you post very Americanly) you should know that under the Geneva Convention you are forbidden to have an opinion about football as long as you insist on calling it soccer and instead use the name football for an interminable conveyor belt of violence that produces wifebeaters and drug addicts.

We call football football because a kicker kicks the ball with his foot.

So why do you call bad actors pretending to cry and roll around "football"?

- It's just a bunch of millionaires chasing a ball
- it's not as good as rugby where real men play it and are nice to the referee
- somehow a game where players run while holding a ball is more accurately called football
- it's popular so I don't like it

You call football a sport that consists on kicking the ball 0.1% of the time yet using the hands and of course break everyone else's bones.

Rugby, also known as football or footy, is a sport that involves moving the ball around with your hands and occasionally your feet.

Aussie Rules, also known as football or footy, is a sport that involves moving the ball around with your hands and occasionally your feet.

Gridiron, also known as American football or football, is a sport that involves moving the ball around with your hands and occasionally your feet.

Soccer is a sport that involves moving the ball around with your feet all the time.

More embarrassing: England not winning the World Cup or Euros since the 60s, or the Canadians not winning a Stanley Cup since 1992. England has a longer streak, but Canada only plays against the US whereas England has to play against like several dozen other countries.

Discuss.

The NHL is over 53 percent Canadians, so any Stanley cup win is a win for Canada. Maybe we just need more teams.

Zoomers are tentatively 2000-2020, so Gen A is probably not saying much right now.

I think considering the cave man image "gen A" is some distant past generation (in contrast to modern gen z) and the joke is that people died quickly/young before modern medicine

SubNat

I think you might be overthinking it.
They might mean Gen A as in the logical start if you start assigning letters to each generation, aka the 1500-1600s-ish?

Which maps to the whole 'haha we might die whenever, maybe a plague? hey bb u want sum fuq'
