I'm just wondering.. why, oh WHY does Americans call this sport FOOTBALL?!?.. Isn't a bit weird to call a sport Football when you mainly have the ball in your arms?! And why don't blend in with the rest of the world and call Football for football, instead of Soccer?.. anyone care to tell my WHY it's called football??.. I know they kick the ball sometimes, but, hey, how often is that?!

BECAUSE WE KICK *** AND FOOTBALL KICKS *** AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WE'LL KICK YOUR *** AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE US WE'LL KICK YOUR *** BECAUSE WE ARE *** KICKERS...
Just kidding, I hate sports (all of them) though I will watch our hometown team The Ravens this weekend...hoping that they lose big-big...bunch of freakin' outlaw-scumbags (except the kicker and a few other select good-guys).

I think the name was changed from Football to Soccer way back when, to seperate us from everybody else. Although, I am speaking from a Canadian point of view, but we still do use the name Football for football and Soccer for soccer. It's just the way we are.. different. Just because everybody else does it, doesn't mean it's cool. Haha. -Paril

well.. I understand you like to be different.. and calling soccer for soccer sounds ok.. but why is American football called football?!.. hmm.. maybe we should start to call soccer for handball, because you use your hands for a throw-in.. oh well, whatever.. its good to be different so, guess that explain it all.. and THANK GOD for that the driver is positioned at the left on my Ford..
