Rant #2

I was in my gym class, and one of the teachers said something that sounded so stupid, I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's called a football! Use your hands!"
...
Does that sound right? Nooo. Football, in almost evey other language in the world means soccer, because you actually use your feet more than your hands in that game. But for some reason, Americans call it soccer. Why?! I was walking home with a friend of mine, pondering this, when I had an epiphany. I know why they call it soccer!!!

Soccer started out as a man's sport, and men refer to all things as a she. Cars, boats, even sports equipment. So soccer= sock her= hit her or kick her. Men get frustrated with women easily, and kick them away. When they realize how stupid they were, they chase after her, trying to get it back.They also fight over women constantly, so they try and steal her from other men. And their main focus is scoring!!!

Soccer=Man's sport
Ball=woman
kicking the ball=pushing her away
Chasing the ball=wanting her back
Stealing the ball=Taking her away from another man
Goal=scoring!

And that, my friends, is why Americans call it soccer.

Those are my two cents. Hope you enjoyed it! ^.^
