Here's a belated Welcome to you, yigido, and thanks for joining MT forums. I am, as you know, fond of Comodo's "Dragons". How have you been liking Maxthon?
Here's what I found on Wikipedia:
"American football evolved from the sport of rugby football. The first American football game was played on November 6, 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. The game was played between two teams of 25 players each, used a round ball, and resembled a combination of rugby and soccer in its rules; the ball could not be picked up or carried, but it could be kicked or batted with the feet, hands, head or sides, with the ultimate goal of advancing it into the opponent's goal. Rutgers won the game 6-4. ".
Here is an excerpt about the sport we "colonists" came to realize is the older more popular "Football" throughout the rest of the world:
"Two of the earliest recorded football type games from Europe include Episkyros from Ancient Greece and the Roman version Harpastum, which similar to pre-codified "Mob Football" involved more handling the ball than kicking. Other competitive games revolving around the kicking of a ball have been played in a few countries throughout history, such as cuju in China. Non-competitive games included kemari in Japan and woggabaliri in Australia. The modern rules of association football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played in the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the eighth century. ".

Actually I was referring to soccer, but used the term "football" to accommodate our Turkish member Yigido.
Regardless, excellent post on American Football.
