FYI, "Monday Night Football" is a brand name, it means more than a football game that is played on Monday night (although that is about to change) and is definitely very specific to "American" (real) Football.

Dude, it's only specific to 'Amercian' football in America! The british broadcaster Sky also calls it's Monday football, sorry 'soccer', show 'Monday Night Football'. You might want to take it up with them.

And about the 'real' football line - there's a can of worms. Which game came first? Which one actually requires more skills in the foot area? Which one is more popular world (that means including counties outside the US) wide?

No offense, I'm a fan of American Football, but I hate ignorant ass comments like that.

Why is that an ingorant comment? As Americans that is all we relate to when we hear Monday Night Football. I don't think he was putting anything down about soccer.
