MessageI certainly don't want American Football as our national sport, but...

...I...um...I thought that "soccer" was what we meant by "Football." Was I wrong?

MessageI like football because it's vague. I thought it always meant soccer, but I can still tell myself it means american football. IF i can think its american football and some euro trash can think it's soccer, aren't we all winners?

MessageWe are just not happy with the "/" or the lowercase.

We would vote in favor of:

Futbol
or

MessageWhy try to make it soccer specific, isn't the vague term good enough to make everyone happy?

ToDebating the Football, don't you mean futbol
MessageThere are a number of different football national sports, and ours has five members, but the others are specific which sport they are speaking of. I like those considerably better.

MessageAnd no, URP. You truly aren't a man of the people. The people of thise good country prefer Futbol, so football a great deal more today, adn they want our national football team to achieve the respect they deserve nationally.

MessageOOC I think this bill is specifically anti-american. If you want football to mean soccer it can and if you want it to mean american football it can. or hell even australian football.

MessageUm...MRP? It always WAS soccer. If vote this down, it still WILL BE soccer. I mean, you could try to lie to yourself if it makes you happy, but I predict that this revelation may eat away at you. You can only lie to yourself for so long. I'm sorry, my friend.

ToDebating the Football, don't you mean futbol
MessageWhy couldn't ULP just leave this issue alone? It was causing no controversy because Americans and those unlucky non-americans could believe whatever they wanted. ULP is disgusting for pushing through a divisive issue. I proposed changing the national sport to American football as a result. If it passes, I'd be happy to change it back to just "football" if major parties can agree to leave it unchanged.

Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play.
