The NFL doesn't deserve to be called Football. They play American rugby.

George Blanda was an excellent quarterback and place kicker for the American rugby team called the Oakland Raiders, but what other positions he or other place kickers play has nothing to do with the price of beans in Kansas.

There is no such thing as soccer. What Americans call soccer is football. What Americans call football is American rugby.

The American League doesn't deserve to be called baseball, you finally got that right.
