Trump says America should change football's name so soccer can have it: 'It really doesn't make sense'

'Outnumbered' panelists weigh in after FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented President Donald Trump with the FIFA Peace Prize for his actions on the international stage.

President Donald Trump suggested the American sport of football should have a different name so that soccer, which is called football in nearly every other country, can assume the name. 

Trump made his comments during the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., Friday while discussing soccer's growth in the U.S.

"When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, again soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called, I mean this is football, there's no question about it. We need to come up with another name for the NFL stuff," Trump said.

"It really doesn't make sense when you think about it." 

Trump was also awarded the first FIFA Peace Prize at the draw Friday. 

FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented Trump with the award, which included a trophy of golden hands holding a soccer ball. He was also awarded a medal that he put on almost immediately.

"The FIFA Peace Prize is presented annually on behalf of the billions of football-loving people from around the world to a distinguished individual who exemplifies an unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity throughout the world through their notable leadership and action," a certificate awarded to Trump states.
