From the standpoint of a person who would know nothing about sports, the round checkered ball seems to get used by the foot more than the brown oblong ball. Sports and their given names are very interesting, however this is all about a case modding contest! Cool! ...Let's keep it on that topic and good luck to all the participants.

Agreed. "American football" should be called "Handball". LOL

Actually, it's called football because it's played ON FOOT, not because you play the ball with your foot. Rugby used to be called rugby football for that reason.

(FYI, a Brit invented the term "soccer", and England's FA recognizes it as a proper name for the game. )

I would love to see other countries participate in American Football. I doubt they would be good that quick but it would be fun to watch. It is like the NBA during the Olympics Games.

American soccer was real bad for the longest time and at least now they can put up a fight and at times win. They are not the laughing bunch they once were.
