GeorgeNotFound takes on the rest of the panel to talk about "football"

GeorgeNotFound, who is originally from the UK, recently shifted to Florida to live with the popular Dream Team, which consists of two other members, namely Clay "Dream" and Nick "Sapnap."

While being invited to The Yard, George was asked to shed light on "his people."

He said:

"I don't see what's so funny about us?"

Karl Jacobs, a long-time associate of the Dream Team, pointed out that Brits usually make a big deal out of Americans trying to label their sport as football. He sarcastically stated (Imitating a British accent):

"Oi, why do you call it football when you don't even use your feet?"

To further the debate, Sapnap added:

"We use our feet in football"

Karl Jacobs continued:

"You run constantly in football"

Falco comically added:

"Also everyone who plays has feet"

GeorgeNotFound clapped back by saying:

"In actual football you use your feet not only to move but to play, it's also illegal to use your hands"

The debate was seemingly put to an end when Slime jocularly responded:

"Why don't they call it, 'it's-illegal-to-use-your-hand-ball', you know, I'm just saying, it is the American way of thinking."
