American football should be called "handball"......you use your hands most of the time anyways.
I guess handball didn't sound hardcore enough so they decided to use football and develop their own word for football to cover it up |
Your post reminded me of this joke (Can't remember where I saw it now):
- "OK everyone! Let's play some football! YEAH!"
- "But sir, when I kick the ball, I keep missing the goal."
- "Well, Ok, we'll move the goal above the ground and remove the top bar, so you can shoot it as high as you want."
- "But sir, I'm having trouble controlling the ball with my feet."
- "Well, Ok, just use your hands then."
- "But sir, it's hard to throw the soccer ball."
- "Well, ok, we'll just use something that looks like a melon then so you could throw it easier."
- "But sir, I still can't get it into the goal."
- "Well, Ok, just run past the end of the field, that should be enough."
- "But sir, I keep getting tired."
- "Well, Ok, we'll take 2 minute breaks after every play."
- "But sir, aren't we playing a glorified version of handball now?"
- "Hmm, handball sounds gay, so we'll call it football."
- "But sir, there's already a game called football, and it's nothing like what we're playing now."
- "That's okay - we're Americans - we'll just call it football, and impose our beliefs on the rest of the world, making them call their game soccer."
