Message: [QUOTE="Scumbag, post: 2258373, member: 7738"] Wrong. Association [b]Football [/b], Australian Rules [b]Football [/b] and American [b]Football [/b]yes as the word "football" is included in their official title. Rugby Union and Rugby League do not have the word football in their official title. Even though they are forms of football, the word football isn't included. Rugby League is Rugby League and Rugby Union is Rugby Union. I think if the extreme majority of countries in the world refer to the sport as Football, then it would be more than reasonable to respect the code's world-wide title and it shouldn't be too much of a big deal for this country to to fathom following suit. Personally, I was a Rugby League follower first. Whenever someone asked me what I followed exclusively in my early years, I would proudly say I followed Rugby League. I respected the sport so much that I used its official title. I didn't want my code to be confused with any other Football code. I'm more than happy to call "soccer" Association Football. At least that's technically correct and isn't some trashy English coined term to distinguish AF from Rugby Union originally. [/QUOTE]
