US President Donald Trump suggested that the NFL should consider changing its name, during the 2026 World Cup Draw at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC. He suggested that what Americans call ‘soccer’ should be ‘football' as it is called globally. He sparked one of the most stupid and oldest debates in Football, which has been discussed millions of times. &nbsp;"When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football," said Trump, to which he was met with subdued laughter."We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff. It really doesn't make sense when you think about it," said Trump in front of NFL stars like Tom Brady and Eli Manning.

<h2>NFL vs Football</h2>Some people reacted that it is long overdue for common sense. &nbsp;Football is played with a round ball and kicked with the foot; only the goalkeeper can handle the ball, whereas NFL, it's a lot more than just foot and a lot complicated. Let's say you can hold the ball with your hand and run with it. The NFL, or the National Football League, originated from Rugby with a little bit of modification. The oval-shaped ball remains the same, with two sets of goalposts on both sides. But suggesting the NFL, a cultural and financial behemoth in the US, should just “come up with another name” is a buzzing performance."Tackleball. Best I got. All we do is tackle the person with the ball. Rarely kick the ball at all," said one user in X, while another said, "Funny how it took him this long to realise the entire world already had that figured out."Before suggesting the name change, FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded Trump the first and only ever FIFA Peace Prize. The World Cup draw also featured many other like the comedian Kevin Hart and TV personality Heidi Klum, who introduced Infantino to kick off the show.&nbsp;

The Democrats have to open it up," he added.Later on, Trump also joined Fox Sports commentators Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma for a casual on-air conversation during which he was asked about his football playing days at the New York Military Academy."I played tight end, but it was not quite football like this. It was a little bit easier. It wasn’t so tough," the US president replied.

Trump to have stadium named after him? Here's what White House said ahead of Commanders vs Detroit NFL tie

Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai to the United States to face a charge of attempted murder stemming from a shooting in May, the Miami Police Department said Thursday. In a statement posted on their X account, the department said officers from its Crime Gun Intelligence Unit and the Felony Apprehension Team had worked with prosecutors and U.S. Marshals to secure an arrest warrant on the charge and Brown was "located in in Dubai and was apprehended.""Brown has since been extradited to Essex County (New Jersey) by U.S. Marshals where he is currently being held pending his extradition to the Miami-Dade County Jail," the statement said.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys-marshawn-kneeland-dies-at-24-franchise-1762451563097">Dallas Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland dies at 24: Franchise</a>Police allege that Super Bowl-winner Brown was the shooter in an incident at an amateur boxing event in Miami on May 16.A copy of the original arrest warrant issued in June said "several" witnesses saw Brown fire shots following a physical altercation with another man.The warrant said Brown had grabbed the handgun from a security guard.An off-duty police officer providing security for the event detained Brown before other police arrived on the scene.No gun was found on Brown, and the other man involved in the fight with the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was not immediately located.Brown addressed the incident in a post on X on May 17, saying he had been "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me."When the warrant was issued in June, Brown failed to turn himself in, then posted on X that he was "out the country."Miami Police Chief Manny Morales told the Miami Herald at that time that authorities in Florida expected to take Brown into custody when he returned to the United States.The incident is the latest in a long line of legal problems faced by Brown, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before later winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.Brown was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer in a 2019 civil suit which he later settled, and also pleaded no contest to burglary and battery in 2020 after an incident with a removal truck company outside his home.Brown's NFL career came to an end after he famously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a Tampa Bay game against the New York Jets in 2022.

In a statement posted on their X account, the department said officers from its Crime Gun Intelligence Unit and the Felony Apprehension Team had worked with prosecutors and U.S. Marshals to secure an arrest warrant on the charge and Brown was "located in in Dubai and was apprehended." "Brown has since been extradited to Essex County (New Jersey) by U.S. Marshals where he is currently being held pending his extradition to the Miami-Dade County Jail," the statement said.

A copy of the original arrest warrant issued in June said "several" witnesses saw Brown fire shots following a physical altercation with another man. The warrant said Brown had grabbed the handgun from a security guard. An off-duty police officer providing security for the event detained Brown before other police arrived on the scene. No gun was found on Brown, and the other man involved in the fight with the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was not immediately located. Brown addressed the incident in a post on X on May 17, saying he had been "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me." When the warrant was issued in June, Brown failed to turn himself in, then posted on X that he was "out the country." Miami Police Chief Manny Morales told the Miami Herald at that time that authorities in Florida expected to take Brown into custody when he returned to the United States. The incident is the latest in a long line of legal problems faced by Brown, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before later winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brown was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer in a 2019 civil suit which he later settled, and also pleaded no contest to burglary and battery in 2020 after an incident with a removal truck company outside his home. Brown's NFL career came to an end after he famously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a Tampa Bay game against the New York Jets in 2022.
