Imagine calling a game "football" when you hold the aforementioned ball in hands all the time
(This post is made by "Literally everybody except americans" gang)

In America it's called football from the fact it's a game played on their feet, as well as the fact it's more or less a fusion of "soccer" and rugby, I'm assuming the same or similar reason European football is called that and not kick ball or something stupid. Probably why it's called soccer in US, to differentiate, like how it's football and rugby in Europe, we have all three, soccer, football, and rugby. What else would you call it then, something moronic like hand ball or egg throw?

1. I simply answered your question.
2. There's nothing culturally insensitive about calling out people for being snowflakes.

1. You answered my question, rudely
2. I'll conceed that culturally insensitive probably wasn't the right way to say it, but frankly in my experience in both trips to Europe and online interactions, Europeans most of the time are the ones going "stupid Americans," while the US is indifferent at most, or interested to learn the difference in cultures.

We call it american football, because it's something the american's decided to call football despite actual football already existing by the time it was invented.
The issue with calling it soccer is that it's completely random. Just call it european football or something. Australian football is a thing too, so there really is no excuse to call it anything other than football.
Also, handball is a sport that exists already.

Probably what they'll do to reemphasize that rape is a scary thing, is that the whole scene will be in the tone of like a thriller, or something...

My best guess is that it'll be a "Get back here." chase, but for 5 minutes, before she beats him into a pulp, or threatens to kill hundreds if he doesn't let her rape him.

And when she does, it'll probably be shown as discretely as possible while still making it clear what's going on. I'm sure the writers know how viewers will react if they indulge in the male gaze for even the tiniest bit.
