If we were to listen to you and your claims, the British invented pretty much everything in existence. 🙂

Next you'll be telling us they invented the game of Hockey. 🙂

Hockey is played on grass.

(Hence your inclusion of the word 'ice' )

LOL@ hockey played on grass!!!

You have much to learn about "ICE HOCKEY"!!! 🙂

Can hockey be played on grass?

What is grass hockey called?

Field hockey | Rules, History, & Facts | Britannica
field hockey, outdoor game played by two opposing teams of 11 players each who use sticks curved at the striking end to hit a small, hard ball into their opponent's goal. ...[text shortened]... he ice at the same time not 11 on each team! 🙂 A puck is used in ice hockey, not a ball. 🙂

Hockey precedes ice hockey by at least several centuries, earning the right to simply be called 'hockey.'

We have football. (The original). Across the pond you have American Football.

Nobody this side of the pond sir recognises the term soccer.

We can keep this thread alive if we make it necessary that each successive post has to contain a pun. A pun can also be an invented one.

Puns are generally intended to be humorous, but they can also serve a serious purpose in literary works. They are a form of wordplay that relies on the double meaning of words or phrases to create a humorous effect.

They tell us that puns have been present in various cultures and writing systems for a long time, dating back to ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians. They were even used in the writing systems of these civilizations, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs, which were based on systems of punning.

Here is a song which incorporates some punning, as an example.

Renaming our sport 'soccer' is like us renaming your ice hockey 'sticks on ice.'

No, you would just be making yourselves look silly to the world calling it that. 🙂
