@notmypoopybutt u said it yourself. its FOOT-BALL. see how simple that is?

why dont u call your american football tackleball.. it makes more sense

Handegg isn't really a team sport. It's just a throw after the snap on the line of scrimmage, and when you throw the ball you hope to hell your QB catches it and when he DOES catch it, you hope to hell he runs like Forrest Gump while your teammates barely do anything but get knocked down by the opposing team, increasing their chances of sacking him.

It's too fixed to be a sport. No fluidity, no real co-operation. It's only popular in the States because it's called AMERICAN football. Ignorance.

It's so fun to watch 5' 10" 140 guys running around a field for 90 min for a match to end 1 -0. Lol jk I'd rather watch Rey Lewis take big Ben's head off and watch Adrian peterson run through full grown men and drag them behind him every Sunday

@sidvicious350 Quarterback, fullback, scratch my back, humpback whalers IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THROWS THE BALL!

football is a sport played with any spheroid that is a foot long.

thus... football is rugby, and also american, and also austrailian, and also canadian, and also gaelic, and of course the association football as well... so, as much as i respect you, you failed this time, mr cleese. :)

american football came from england and was called rugby football; which name made sense btw. but american people are so bright that they dropped the "rugby" and just kept the word that would better explain the game, obviously! ; "football". for a game where players have to run around with an OVAL ball in their HANDS. brilliant. why doesn't the rest of the world play US football? we already have football played with a ROUND ball with your FEET, AND we have rugby which is AWESOME as it is.

This is probably the best video on Youtube.

@Hitmonchan107 LoL. WHAT?! The QB(quarterback) is the player who throws the football.

@macnos It's an advancement of Rugby. Rugby is also 1000x better than soccer btw. So is Canadian Football and Australian rules football. Long live the Anglo-sphere! Minus Ireland and the UK. You guys are just a little shit piece of Europe now-a-days.

@Hitmonchan107 You're joking right? Lol. Rock and virtually all modern music was invented in America.
