hahaha that is so true, I guess it's an American thing because they still refer to Gridiron (National Football League) as Football and Football Soccer (Major League Soccer)... confusing...

Yeah..why call it football when you carry the ball with your hands??

Football - implies that you use your foot i.e no hands.

Might as well call it handball with a few kicks thrown in!

Of the other games referred to as "football", only AFL, to me, can qualify, because the majority of disposal is done by foot. Rugby/gridiron, kicking the ball is rare (i.e. in gridiron there's ONE guy whose job it is to kick the ball!).

yeh good point! AFL is pretty much the only sports here that can really be classified as Football, League and Union use their hands much more than their feet.

I don't know about soccer players, cos I don't think they'd stand a chance in Gridiron hahah. THey have hired AFL players though to Punt the ball in the NFL.

why would they need to tackle?

how can they kick the ball if they are tackling?

from watching a few games, it looks like their job is to kick the ball through the posts while the rest of their team stops the other team from getting through and kicking his ass hahaha
