Why do they call it football? It isn' t shaped like a foot at all.
Because kickball was already taken??

Besides, is not like a " baseball" is shaped like a base or " basketball" is shaped like a basket. It seems all three are named using things that define the game. In football, you are using your foot, so it makes sense. Unless you want to call it " Goalball' , which sounds retarded.
My question is, why do they call it soccer?? It means absolutely nothing. And why call American Football " Football" ? It should be called Tackleball or something, is not like they play the game by kicking the ball, even though it is a play.
