American football utilizes a player’s foot in combination with the ball for maybe twelve seconds out of the entire game. European football/soccer is all feet, all the time. At this point in my life, I just call this silly sport Ameriball since nowhere else plays it as much.
We call it Muricaball.
It’s not touch-the-ball-with-your-foot, it’s play-ball-on-foot. Last I checked, none of the players were mounted.
If that were the etymology, why have all those handball players been doing it so wrong for so many years?
Why not call it runball then?
It’s okay, I don’t really understand cribbage either.
Zero interest in sports. And I live in Greater Cleveland.
Somehow this strip is even funnier when you’ve played both games before.
Yep.
Seem Ozy and I pretty much agree on football.
What is called football everywhere else in the world is much better than American Football. It is less confusing, safer, and the name makes more sense that way.
Honestly it would.make more sense to just switch names with soccer so then we wouldn’t have to make non-americans say American football. Also is it just me, or do any of you want to say foot f-oo-t instead?
Ozzy is so like me. There’s a football game on and he’s reading a book and not even facing the screen. And I agree with the above commentors, that calling it football is very silly.
