I believe it is time to make football an Olympic Sport.

The world is ready for it, and so are we!

Peyton Manning is actually backing a campaign now to make this come to life.

I am writing on behalf of weplay.com to get signatures for a petition to make football an Olympic event.

Please sign the petition at the following link so we can make this happen!

I dont know if this is something that will happen or not. We already are confused between US and UK/other "football" term used and it might not be common enough to have it as a sport like this.

Exactly. The Olympics already has 'football'. It would have to go under another name, and outside of America it just isn't popular enough to make an Olympic event out of.

There always seems to be confusion when the word football is spoken. Most times I have this issue when speaking to someone that resides in the US but still stays active with UK "ballers". Which country had the name first?
