I noticed that as well, I helped bring his karma down to 69 so I'm kinda happy
The fucking picture is showing up has a question mark and I retried it a million times, but I guess I am too retarded too figure it out, maybe it will work maybe not, but you should be able to see that his karma is 69 and this is funny because 69 is a sex move, my friend who is also 12 like me told me so.
Actually the term football is used because it's played on foot as opposed to horseback. There is association style football, gridiron style football, gaelic, australian.... maybe even more, who cares.

Was there once a time when American football was played on horseback? If not, that seems like pointless differentiation. Water polo vs. polo make sense. Football vs. something that never existed does not make sense.
This seems to be the most logical answer I could find around why American football is called football:
"It all started off with Soccer. it's true name is Association Football. then in in 1823, at the Rugby School, in Rugby, England, a boy called William Web Ellis, during an Association Football game, picked up the ball in his hands, and ran with it, thus creating the game of Rugby Football.
Rugby Football is named so because it is the Rugby School's variation of Football.
American Football Evolved out of Rugby Football, and so is another variation on the game of Association Football, and the American Variation of Football, Therefore American Football"

exactly, the real silliness is that "football" refers to a big class of games, and that classing goes back to a distinction of whether or not it's played with a ball on foot or on horseback
anyway, the word SOCCER came from the brits. but (i forget the details but) they've gone to all calling it football for some reason, the reason being something to do with class (big surprise with those limeys huh?)-- look it up if youre curious
so what im trying to say to anyone who complains about this shit and argues about it is get a hobby, or at the very least learn the first thing about what youre arguing. we're not going to start calling american football hand-egg or whatever retarded suggestions have been made and americans arent going to stop calling soccer soccer
