Fun question: Why do you think USA plays Football with Hands?

40 sats \ 4 replies \ @chrisliss OP 8 Apr

ha -- it is odd they called it that. Calling soccer "football" makes a lot more sense. I guess back in the day when there wasn't a lot of forward passing, kicking and punting were a bigger aspect of the game.

Thanks. We all agree it's odd. But somehow Americans argue Soccer is Soccer and Football is original to US.

American football I think started in the 1880s, but I imagine football as the rest of the world knows it is probably older.

Football is much more older definitely. It's funny they also made a different version of Cricket and called it Baseball. Cricket has been played since 1600s but they think Baseball is older.

Anyways, rest of world has more originality than US ever had. ; )
