We have a right to call it Football*.

You want to take the 'football' issue up with anyone take it up with the Rugby and Grid Iron followers. They have no right.

*If mainly because we couldn't think of anything else. Plus 'Foot & Hand ball doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
To avoid further problems on what is meant by "Football"
Association football is "Eurokickball"
Rugby Football (either code) is "Egg chasing"
Gridiron football is (your choice) "throw ball," "oblong ball," "steroid ball," or "some f***ing American game"
Aussie Rules Football is "Aerial Pingpong"
Gaelic Football is "some bizarre activity only the Irish would think up"
