Why do americans insist on calling american football "football" ?
A football is spherical, football is played by using the foot to control and direct the movement of the ball. American football seems to have more in common with rugby. Does anyone know how this sport came to be called this ?
ps Loved your superbowl, kept me awake until 3:30am over here in London.

American Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.
