The name "FOOTBALL" for the NFL offends me as a footballer (a.k.a. "soccer" player) and I suggest they rename the sport.

Created by B.S. on June 23, 2014

With the recent controversy over the Redskin's name, I started to realize there's an even bigger population of the public that the NFL is insulting... and that's actual football players & fans, also known in America as "soccer", who are forced to call their sport a different name just so "American Football" can utilize and benefit off the name of an entirely different sport that already held a significant fan following worldwide. I am open to alternate possibilities such as Concussionball, Yellow Flags or perhaps... Rugby, if you really feel it necessary to sponge off another sport's name.

Whatever they choose, the NFL should have their copyright revoked because it doesn't actually contain any "football" teams, which is both misleading and offensive to people that know what feet are.
