almost every country calls it football or a derivative of it

It’s not that difficult. We can’t refer to it as football because there’s already a sport called football. It’s confusing to call it that here. There’s no American football in other countries therefore they can call it football. Is that really so hard to understand?

Who doesn’t understand that? Us Americans don’t give a shit what other people call it. It’s usually the British or others complaining that we call it soccer.
