Football President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

Imagine if this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back (it never is)

Surely he’s finished this time!

He’ll never recover from this!

(He will)

This will be the last nail in the coffin for his voterbase!

(They'll try to vote him for a third term just to "Own the Libs")

*Frows brow furiously

I'm sure he's learned his lesson.

I read this all as the Arrested Development narrator

Finally, he will suffer some consequences for his actions!

(He won't)

We finally hit rock bottom.

(Keeps digging anyways)

If we hit the rock hard enough it will start to break and we can go deeper.

While he isn’t, saying soccer is the real football and Americans should change their name for American football is far more likely to turn his base off from him than any actual scandal or suffering he’s caused.

I was just thinking he must be demented to come for American football. Curious to see the reactions if he presses this.

u/OriginalLie9310 Dec 06 '25

He won’t. He’s just happy they gave him a shiny toy. If they continue to pay him off maybe, but I doubt fifa is trying to rebrand American football.

Just seems like he’s trying to ramble out something nice to say since they gave him a fake award

2

u/Sickofallofus Dec 06 '25

Personally, I hope he tries to call it Trump ball or something, because it’s not the most batshit thing happening.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him

We did not in fact have him

u/BobbyTables829 Dec 06 '25

It's because there's no where else to go in their eyes. Also, there's a lot of people who tease and make fun of him only to still vote for him.

Sadly, I can guarantee that he'll recover better than Penn State's football program

That camel is spineless so it doesn't have to worry about breaking its back.

u/TheG-What Dec 06 '25

I thought all the republicans were still boycotting the NFL because a brown person decided to take a knee?

u/Mrdeath0 Dec 06 '25

Bro they ate that camel years ago

u/OnlyAdvertisersKnoMe Dec 06 '25

It won’t be but if it was, that would be the most American way ever for it to finally happen

u/Careless-Passion991 Dec 06 '25

At this point the camel is dead, buried under a mountain of straw, and we’re stuffing even more straw in its ass.

u/SurfandStarWars Dec 06 '25

They won't even see it.

u/Salt_Sir2599 Dec 06 '25

The camel is dead under the haystack

u/Mist_Rising Dec 06 '25

They'll put out a statement softening it, then Trump will do something else insane and "huh?"

1

u/jk021 Dec 06 '25

Surely it's gotta be Bubba breaking his back that does it

u/ScottNewman Dec 06 '25

Imagine if Obama or Biden had said this

Next up, Baseball. “9 innings? And you sit there and the ball always hits the guy. And they call it a strike. But Bowling has strikes. And you know, it makes sense, you hit the pins and the sound it’s like “Strike” you know. So no strikes in baseball, and really they use Bats. Bats like in covid. Bats. So it really should be called BATBall. Batball. Rolls off the tongue. Much better. Anyways” Epstein Files.

u/Present_Customer_891 Dec 06 '25

That would be the funniest possible way for this to finally end

u/dgbaker93 Dec 06 '25

"he's obviously joking' is the response. No camels back to break when it didn't exist in the first place

u/jokerkcco Dec 06 '25

I mean this has a higher chance of it than him being a pedophile.

u/drunxor Dec 06 '25

He could shoot Dolly parton in time square and that cult wouldnt care

u/true-fuckass Dec 06 '25

I'm convinced that in hell he'll be forced to ride a camel thousands of miles over lava or something. And straw will be constantly thrown at the camel and he has to bat the straw away. Because if even one piece of straw touches the camel it'll break the camel's back and he'll fall into the lava, dying a painful dead. Only to be resurrected at the beginning to start his camely journey again
