Because way back when the game was created the ball looked almost like a basketball and there was no passing and a lot more kicking was involved. Here's a picture showing more generally what the ball was like. Please note that this is from WAY later than the era I'm talking about, because this player has a helmet on and in the beginning no one wore anything like that and the ball was even more spheroid. Also due to the lack of padding, games between colleges weren't unusual to have one or MORE DEATHS PER GAME. AND THEN THEY KEPT PLAYING AFTER THE WHEELED THE DEAD OFF THE FIELD. AND THE SCHOOLS WERE FINE WITH THAT.  It wasn't until after they allowed the adoption of the rule to let players throw the ball forward (Passing) extremely later in the game (to give you an example, the very first game agreed to be 'american football' was a 'college soccer football' game played in 1869. No one threw that ball forward until 1906, and even then nobody did it much), that the ball morphed into it's sleeker, modern form. At the very beginning, forward passing involved taking that round'ish ball with both hands over your head and lobbing it like a caveman throwing a rock at a cave bear or some poo poo. And now you know more about football. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Nov 14, 2020 |

way back in England, there were two types of football: rugby football and association football rugby football was known as "rugger." some Oxbridge wag whose name I refuse to look up was once asked if he'd like to play some rugger, to which he responded "no, I'd rather play soccer." this wisecrack was widely popularized so the terms just ossified differently here than in Englalonde someone please explain Australian-rules football to me

I'm a football coach in 1911 filing away at another three percent of the regulation ball shape each year until someone finally catches me in the post war interim and now footballs will forever be a kind of half-sawed oval shape.

I'm golf balls going from gutta percha to plastic to matte hyper-whatever they are now. I'm soccer balls going from inflated bladders to the patterned carbon fiber technosphere. I'm hockey sticks going from recurve to flat back to recurve and becoming carbon fiber composite. Sports change. Rules change and adapt because people test things and ask "That looks fun but how do we keep it fair and the audience entertained?". I'm not singling you out or anything, it's just something I was thinking about too, to be honest.

It's also known as Gridiron, which is a much cooler name than the sport deserves.

I think it would be a way more interesting game if people could kick the ball through the uprights any time for 1 point without losing possession, just another down, like you could just be running and you plant and kick the ball or whatever, and then they put an oversized basketball hoop at the bottom middle of the uprights tilted at 45 degrees that you can throw the ball through for 4 points. Also no panties for cheerleaders, they can get snagged on poo poo or bunch up.

Would it be better if they all just kept falling down with imaginary injuries and then decided to call it a 0-0 tie after 90 minutes of absolute boredom?

I'll tell you what really 'GRINDS MY GEARS' is the English and Australians coming up with slang that always ends in vowel sounds. "Oi, matey some pingas? Go downa ta maccy's an [...whatever]" loving close a word off. Just say the loving word. Say it. It's like both god-forsaken islands have tongue cancer and a terminal case of being water-babies
