Have you ever wondered why Americans call it Football when the game is played primarily with the hands?

Americans are a weird species.

They jail more people than Russia and China put together. Yet claim to be about "freedom".

[FYI345]

So true. They think the world revolves around them too.

Originally, the game involved much more kicking the ball than it now does.

Not worth my time …

[Kayla45]

Yeah I don’t really understand it either to be honest. The sport itself is pretty much overhyped.

[Andres77]

Nothing about professional sports interests me

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes I have. Do you know why?

[Kayla45]

Not sure, but why anyway?

[BarryLiverstone]

I’d have to Google it. I knew at one point. I do remember soccer became soccer because it was once known as associated football

[DJB72]

It's origins are in rugby football
