| Sheesh, do we have to go through this again, @wilfy? There are historically two games with the name "football": AsSOCCiation Football (or SOCCer, for short) and Rugby Football (or rugby for short). American football is a variation of the latter, which happens to be another game...ahem, named by Europeans...which is called "football" despite the fact that the ball is predominately carried with the hands. So if you have an issue with the name of our version of rugby football, kindly build yourself a time machine and speak with your ancestors. Class dismissed. |
