    Nfl

    Why is american football called football? I mean you touch the ball more with your hands than with your feet. It should be called handball or something like that.

    after all these years, I doubt it even matters that much anymore. But we say soccer instead of football so thats no biggie.

    I agree with the point but it has become so ingrained in our society that it would be silly to change it now.

    I agree that they shouldn´t change it now and call it something else I was just curious why they call it football.When they touch the balls more with the hands. I guess that it sounds better or something to call it football than handball.

    yeh, i know bro....that's always been a topic about how they call soccer football overseas, etc....but boy we're born into football here in the U.S.
    Boy, when i started watching football years ago, it was Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Stabler, Dorsett, then Danny White, Fouts, Bartkowski, Ferragamo, Payton (Walter), the list goes on and on....the good ole days

    Too many american football games are won and lost at the "feet" of those fvcking kickers. Maybe thats why. Dont take me too seriously on this one.
