Re: "Football" or "Handegg" ?
Why does the name have to make sense to euro ****?
In America, where football is played in its highest capacity, when you say football, everyone knows immediately what you are talking about.
Lots of words, titles, names, etc etc don't make sense. it doesn't have to
What do crickets have to do with the sport of cricket? Are there any rugs used in rugby? How many boxes do you see in the sport of boxing?
Why you so desperate?

As far as I know New Zealanders call it Rugby just like everyone else.
I think it's a pointless debate r.e. original post, but boy it does get you Americans angry.

And why exactly is it called Rugby anyway, when the game doesn't even use a rug? It should be called "Grassby" if you wanna be technical.
Damn, I never thought about it before, but some sports have some f@cked up names.

Who knows? It's why this is a never ending debate with all sports.

Re: "Football" or "Handegg" ?
interesting... seems that rugby was named after rugby school around 1830.
looks like american football is a direct descendent of rugby... so in yet another way, nothing to do with football.

Why isn't tennis called tennisball or volleyball or racquetball?
Why isn't golf called golfball or clubball or holeball or cupball or teeball?
Why isn't bowling called bowlingball or laneball or pinball or rollball?
Why isn't baseball called batball or mittball or pitchball or hitball?
Why isn't volleyball called spikeball or handball or netball?
The answer is who cares

Re: "Football" or "Handegg" ?
