Actually the football is carried more than its kicked or thrown, unless youre in San Diego. But the game developed from soccer and rugby, where kicking are more predominant, and kept the European name.

Carried - with your arms - I might add. I enjoy watching both football (the soccer kind) and American football, but get annoyed how the US named their American football "football" and changed the name of real football to "soccer".

Tell ya what...ya'll win a world war on your own, without our help, and ya'll can call it whatever you want. Til then, football is football, soccer is soccer, and don't forget to thank us that you don't call it "Vootenbol" or however those nazi dweebs would have made you pronounce it...
And what am I most proud of?
Our quiet pride and tolerance......
