pah...

How many times does a foot actually come in contact with the ball during an American football game?  A few, I suppose...kick off, punts, field goals...but that is about it.

Why did you guys steal the name football?  Why not just call it Handball?

handball is that sissy game played on playgrounds with a baby racketball, and little sissy gloves.

Good question...not sure of the answer, but at least it is ORIGINAL and not stolen.

Its plenty origanal in my opinion. Its a almost completly different game besides a few simularities. Its just a differnece of opinions. Two different games with the same name. Oh well...
I enjoy both sports and could really care less what they are called, with a few esceptions like "purple fuzzy game".
IMO its not the name that matters but the content.
