American football is a derivation of rugby football and that is where it ot its name from. And they do use their feet...just not very often :D

Im not sure, some clown prolly thought of it.
But this wasnt bout football (soccer), i was just wondering, why they called it football when they dont use their feet.
I know they have aussie rules football in australia and i think they use their feet quite frequently in that sport, but whenever ive seen american football i never seen anyone use their feet |

american football players use their feet! they use it to start the game (kick off), after half time, PAT's and field goals. :tongue2
i am not sure where the term "soccer" came from. it sounds more like a boxing term to me. |
