A traveler from the Holy American Empire capitol city of Kiprop, part of a newly discovered parallel universe by NASA, indicated his disgust with our sporting nomenclature as he stated, “It’s PHLANXXIS not soccer,” via his universal translator Raul.

“I traveled across the dimensions to let you know one very important thing,” stated the traveler. “It’s Phlanxxis not soccer. How can you socc? You cannot socc. This is ridiculous. Everyone knows that the Eternal travelers from the Gaul Dynasty created Phlanxxis from methane inflated sheep’s bowels during the time of The Reverence.”

According to the Traveler, the Holy American Empire Phlanxxis Federation took it upon themselves to institute a system of naming in their world after waging a war upon the countries of Marajó and Eastern Hibernia to destroy their sporting infrastructure.

“The only relegation we need is the subjugation of their countries,” stated the Traveler. “The only word that will be spoken is that of Phlanxxis, not Rajabom or Foot Sphere or Spherey or even, Klaax forbid, Orbing as those in the East claim of their sports name. At that time, then, when we gain revenge upon the FIPHA for the omission of the HAE Phlanxxis team from the 3442 World Conflagration Cup we will find joy.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the Traveler discusses how the common state of his world is perpetual disagreement and anger, so he feels quite comfortable in our world.
