Also that ball doesn't look like a ball at all. |

I'm 110% with you guys. Football makes no sense. Should call it time out ball, or maybe penalty ball, since those two things seem to take up 2/3 of the time spent in a game. |

Not a popular one outside the US by the way... Personally, american football should be called american rugby to avoid confusions with "real" football, but probably that's just me... I mean, c'mon, a player throwing a football and not using its feet is the main star of the show and the game is not called handball. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: amarthar on January 14, 2013, 06:23:06 AM ---Also that ball doesn't look like a ball at all. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: wiggy on January 14, 2013, 07:50:32 AM ---I'm 110% with you guys.

"hey, if those crazy British can call a game football and there's hardly any foot/ball contact in it, why cant we call our sport football?" |
