    Football is a sport played all over the world. American Football is only played in the USA and Canada.

    Sorry, Americans, but you lost this battle ages ago. Just let it go.

      Run it by me again… You carry the ball in your hands and run forwards? You occasionally throw it, again using your hands?

      What do you call it?

      Football.

    Pretty sure there is more than one foot involved. Therefore it should be called feetball.

        See? Here we go.

        Soccer - Uses both feet. Should be called feetball.

        NFL - Only uses one foot to touch the ball. During punts or feildgoals. Accurately named football.

        Check the community, Chuckles!

        Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.

        You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.

        The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”

        The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”

      It seems so stupid to me that Americans took over the name football for a sport thats not even mainly played by foot, and then pretend like thats the sport that naturally belongs to the name. Like wtf.

        This is why the fuck: american football evolved from Association Football (soccer) and rugby. Americans didn’t take over the name, the names for each version of the “ball game on a field with goals at either end” developed from different regional slang as each sport evolved and grew into popularity in their respective places. Each of those sports developed various shortened or slang versions of their name. Rugby was really Rugby football. Association football became soccer, a term coined in London and adopted by Americans. Gridiron football evolved from both and become what Americans just called football.

          Its Oxford University slang derived from Rugby School slang, rather than Etonian. However, many do still refer to the morning meal as “brekkers” and nakedness as “starkers”, regardless of class.
