L3ftY. Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 goes back to late 1800's early 1900's when 'football' transformed from rugby into americanized football, or something to that affect, and somehow the name stuck because americans hated the name armpitball lol. similar question, why is cricket called cricket...when they dont play with crickets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted April 5, 2016 Author Leader Share Posted April 5, 2016 usa is just crazy calling something football where they mostly use their hands and body It seems that North American "football" has evolved from the ancestor game where the feet were more involved. This would seem to imply that Soccer has not evolved very much. laugh-sound.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyHippo Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Always thought the american football was called like that as to make reference to the fact that you need to use your foot (run) to go forward in game and win points, its true hands and body is used too, so there you got a debate.
