    I thought this was about football....but its another post about American football...the game where they use their HANDS all the time
    That's what I thought also. No offense to my American friends but I think rugby is more acceptable term than football. For us non-English speaking people, our understanding of football is a game where the feet are being mainly used instead of hands hence the word "foot ball".
    You know, regardless of what soccer snobs might want to tell you, "soccer" is actually an acceptable term for the game. It isn't an Americanized name. In fact, it originated in Great Britain. In 1863, a group of teams decided to label themselves "Association Football" so as to distinguish themselves from other sports like rugby football. During that time period people would put "er" at the end of nicknames very often, so association football players became known as assoccers and later soccers and from there the game was commonly known for some time as soccer football.
    We never said that soccer isn't acceptable term. What we don't understand is that how does a game that uses mainly hands became known as "football"?

    Ha, ha, I'm a die hard Cowboys fan, but I told hubby when we moved to VA that I'd root for the Ravens as my second team because I look good in purple!!

    Browns fan here. And there is absolutely nothin like the start of football season. Training camp right around the corner, and the preseason is about a month away. IT NEVER gets old. Even if my Browns win or lose, it's football all days on sundays, and on monday nights in my household.
