Why do Americans have a 'World series' when the only people that are allowed to participate are,.... Americans?
Also, why call 'American football' football, when the ball is very rarely kicked?
Have a nice day,.... missing you already :D

Bluejays and the Expos.....????? WTF are they/those?
The Yanks are the only nation in the world to call football 'soccer'.... (maybe the Canadians too....)
'Soccer' is a British invention born out of an abbreviation of 'Association football'
Cheers for the input, Zip

Why is Cricket called Cricket when there aren't any bugs out there to squish? Why is golf called golf when it should be called "A game of Futility".
:D

Maybe golf should be called cricket since there are a lot of bugs that you meet up with on the golf course.:D :rolleyes: ;)

LOL, then ALBION, you wouldnt stand a chance in Australia, where we have MANY different kinds of football... Aussie Rules Football, Soccer, International Rules Football (similar to gaelic), Futsol, Rugby Leage and Rugby Union, and small amount of American Football.
But hey, its probably the same reason airplane food are in tiny plastic pockets you cant open without elbowing the bloke next to you!

cricket,.......
From Middle French criquet, "goal stake"
The term "golf" is believed to have originated from a Germanic word for "club".
" WUFF! WUFF!" LOL
