Hmm...

ball/bôl/
Noun:   
A solid or hollow sphere or ovoid, esp. one that is kicked, thrown, or hit in a game.

Also...
There are a couple of possible etymologies behind the word football

The first is that the word comes from a game played by striking a ball with a foot.
The other is that football refers to games played on foot (by peasants) as opposed to games played on horseback(by nobility).

The first description of a football game comes in the 12th century when William FitzStephen describes it thusly:

After lunch all the youth of the city go out into the fields to take part in a ball game. The students of each school have their own ball; the workers from each city craft are also carrying their balls. Older citizens, fathers, and wealthy citizens come on horseback to watch their juniors competing, and to relive their own youth vicariously: you can see their inner passions aroused as they watch the action and get caught up in the fun being had by the carefree adolescents. - Fitzstephens Description Of London

King Henry IV gets credit for using the word first in 1409 in a proclamation forbidding the levying of money for "foteball".

Eventually, over time, two dominant forms of 'football' became popular - soccer and rugby.  And, as various people arrived in the United States, they brought their games with them.  In the 19th century various forms of football were popular on college campuses, particularly in New England.  In 1869 what is called the first game of college football was played between Rutgers and Princeton.

There were a number of experiments with rules and in 1876 the Intercollegiate Football Association was born.  Walter Camp, the 'Father of American Football' became involved with the game and worked hard to popularize it.

So, in a nutshell, the word 'football' has been around for centuries, there are many different games that can be associated with the word, and American-style football, which is a descendant of rugby, is just one of them.

 Fact: 
1.
something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.
2.
something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.
3.
a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.


 That picture does not change the facts...and facts leave no room for argument.

 Hope this helps.

 
Each ONE Ring is probably the salary of an entire Soccer team to train, house, and feed them for an entire year






 If you are talking about some class C club...maybe. but i know for sure that a salary of an soccer player can buy an NFL team.

 One more thing..stay on the subject.

 Hmmmmm.. interesting...but still a pussy version of rugby.

 What women and football players have in common? they need pads.

The US doesn't give a flying fuck about soccer, so therefore, soccer sucks.

I'm American but I'll tell you, you travell around the world everyone hates us and loves Canadians.  So I know Americans who put little Canadian flags on their luggage and backpacks so they'll look like Canadians!
