Why the "american football" its called "football" i mean... i saw a few matches and almost all the time they grab the ball with the hands, only a few kicks.
So i have that doubt... shouldnt it be called "handball" ?

I know..it makes no sense lol.
Soccer is the real Football...because you use your feet to play with the little ball.
I'm going to assume that they named it Football, because of the one play or two plays...where they actually kick the ball..:S
I agree, i have the same opinion.Originally Posted by wounded
its stupid, but whats more stupid is the v masks, too many people used em in their sig, now its ruined.
One's guy foot, second guys ball(s), now did i answered your question ;-)
Football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your answer is probably in there somewhere.
If not then Just Fucking Google It .
The global name for football is of course football. The global name for american football is gridiron. Gridiron is a code of handball and not football.
Football is a sport where players control the ball with their feet and only football does this. Handball is where hands are used to control a ball.
AFL, Aussie rules Footy.. Is used with your feet and hands, but to score a goal you earn more points with your feet(6), and hand balled (1 pointless....).
click
so easy to find o.O
this is the american excuse, "well in the world they call it football, but in america we call it soccers because we're americans" sooo much ignorance and hate LOL
Isnt American football just Rugby but without the armour?
American Football is Rugby with armor yeah.
it's a name. big whoop. Why is your user name Venganzza?
I think he like the movie :P
No, Gridiron is A lot different, In rugby You are not allowed to throw the ball forward, And you cannot complete fuck people up when you tackle them, Also there have a different game layout. However there is a lot of resemblence.
Venganza means "revenge" in spanish... I only know that cause he told me though :mrgreen: I thought it was from here:

Meh. -.- I have no clue, whoever named it that thinks weird.
Maybe because the ball is called a football o.o I dunno really.
I make a search and found the answer of your question that "The global name for football is of course football. The global name for american football is gridiron. Gridiron is a code of handball and not football."
So what do you think?
I think thats not even a answer to his question and that you shouldnt fuckin double post.
Gridiron is called football because its basically a newer version of English Rugby, which has you using you feet more, and there is no forward passing.
WHateva, we do what we want!
Wrong, sorry, but he's correct. Gridiron is handball.
Anyways, you all are wrong. Football/Soccer are nicknames, its called "Association football".
You crazy Europeans :P Its just a name, who gives a shit what other people call it. Its like saying you dont like a language because you dont understand, the world doesnt conform to one universal standard.
it is not ruby came from rugby league the rules are completely different
and Aussie rules was around before football (galic football) thats how football sports started
no shit its handball, but it still doesnt answer his question, it adds to it. I answered the question because i said WHY its called footbal, not by saying its handball.
