When somebody invents a sport involving a ball shaped like a foot, then I think it can be indignant about other sports claiming to be “football”. Until then, enjoy it as one example of the rich cultural diversity of the human race.
Go Steelers!
This comes up so often here it’s ludicrously boring. The word football has NEVER been used to describe games that use the foot only to move a ball. In fact, I don’t even know of such a game, since soccer most definitely involves the use of hands.
The word football is part of the title of numerous games, including Association Football (i.e., soccer), American Football, Canadian Football, Gaelic Football, Australian Rules Football, Rugby Union Football, Rugby League Football. With the exception of the two rugby codes, almost all of these are referred to simply as football in the countries where they predominate. Australia is particularly confusing, since in that country soccer, Aussie rules, Rugby Union and Rugby League are ALL referred to as football.
Just deal with it.
whatever…i enjoy watching both…i got the same feeling at the beginning but if you watch couple of american football games…its interesting too..
Football is the world game. Nobody really cares about American gridiron outside of America. The Americans call their game football because it sounds a bit better that calling it men in spandex tights.
