On what basis is this "misusing" the word? What's your standard, your authority?

Peever:

Why is a criticism of a centrist politician from the left "toothless"?

"Football" is the name of a family of games. Soccer (association football) and American football are just variations codified from a huge mess of variable rules — hell, the first drafts of the Association rules allowed you to carry the ball with your hands and for other players to hack it away from you.
