ORIGINAL: WhoreMods Bit unfair on the American football player, that: he actually has a skillset and has put some effort into mastering his craft. However crap he is at AF, he can't be a more incompetent fuckweasel than the other two so long as he mostly runs in the right direction while he's on the pitch. Now see, here you go trying to confuse us Americans again. The only way I can keep track of American football vs. world football is that the former is played on a "field" while the latter being played on a "pitch." Players in either sport run in the wrong direction on some few occasions, so you are right to point out that the player is providing a valuable service in trying to keep track of the proper direction to go. And a number of British fiction writers I've come across have used the term 'soccer' so don't blame us entirely for not understanding football the way much the rest of the world does. But it's certainly coming on in this country, the round checkered ball variety. I think that all this recent violence in the streets of political origin in the US is actually just to purpose of getting into the spirit of things as we latch on to the international version of football, and all that entails. Mea culpa. (I think a fair few of the British writers who talk about soccer are aiming their fiction at the American market, btw.)
