    The name football comes from England I thought, where they called any game played on foot football as opposed to being on horseback or some shit. So rugby was football. The U.S. version of such also was known as football. Hence why Australia also calls Australian Rugby, football or footy.

    Meaning that in spirit, baseball and basketball are also football, lolol
