Just call it gridiron, that's the real name of the sport. Nfl tries to cash in on American patriotism. Its not a bad thing but might make some players feel excluded

We play football in Canada too. You don't have ownership of the sport. We invented it 1861, eight years before the first recorded game in the US at McGill University in Montreal

David Buswa BS. Doesn’t say anything like that on any history. www.history.com/news/who-invented-football

@@Ms2centsTry the americanfootballdatabase.fandom.com, CBC.ca, thecanadianencyclopedia,ca. The game was played at the University of Toronto, it was born from Rugby. BTW, Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run in Toronto also, Thank Canada for giving the world Hockey, Basketball, Gridiron Football and the Telephone and Insulin

David Buswa wasn't basketball invented in Kansas, I know the dude was a Canuck.

Panthers fan? Me too! Love from Birmingham

NFL is getting big in the UK, but I always thought they should watch NCAA football. I myself watch college football every Saturday, but barely watch NFL.

@@zachhardware479 I like college football aswell!

@@ES-wp4bi I'm an Auburn fan, and also a South Florida fan.I have twp college teams, instead of a college team and a pro team to pull for. I'm all College football. I like NCAA basketball better than the NBA too lol

you guys have the BAFA which kicks off in a few weeks, the London Warriors were last years Premier League Champions, the game was actually broadcast on national tv (according to the announcers, I watched it on youtube) so its there man, its just getting to the semi-pro level. When I watched the BAFA 5 years ago it was def an amateur league, but I gotta say that the 2019 BAFA premier championship game was one of the best games I've ever seen and the level of play was really good, there was even back to back successful onside kick recoveries by one team, i've literally never seen that happen in my life in the hundreds (or thousands) of games I've watched

Brad CFC Stone do it man. Football is for everybody. you'll love it.

game of details man lots of dedication the game will treat you well if you treat it well.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

Rugby style tackles, basically not going in with your shoulder instead of your head.

the gridiron is the name of the field or pitch as you would say

In Australia they call it Gridiron

at least the game never stop

Jack Siong Why is that a bad thing? It's a completely different sport/momentum you absolute idiot. Don't bum rugby until you try Football out, arrogant idiots will never realise how great of a sport football is.

it take 3h30min to watch a 60min game ( more than 5 hours for the superbowl ) if the official time is 1 hour for a regular NFL game , what i 'm watching during 2h30min ?

Jack Siong It completely depends on what happens in the game, if it's a fast paced high scoring game with majority of passing plays then it's a much quicker game. If the game is drab and not much action and more running plays/injuries then they play adverts whenever they can, meaning it's a longer game. That's just how it is, you can't say "oh it only takes 2 minutes to pot a few balls in golf", no, it can be quick or very long.

NFL can be the n°1 sport worldwide if 1. They put less commercial break ( 1 half time break is enough ) 2 . They reduce the time recover after every tackles to 15 seconds ( to make the game faster like in NRL ) But everybody knows it will never happens because thoses fat linemen don't have enough stamina, so that's why i'm stick into rugby union or NRL To be honest we love NFL we just don't like to watch it ( it's way too long ) but it's more fun to play it

No thanks. It's American Football. If you've got something different, or better, or with a spin on it, then bring it. But DON'T ask us to forsake our name/origin/love just for your desire to possess it.

E7 Polar it's called football because the ball is a foot long

Kit McIntosh But you only play about 5% of the game with your foot so it's handegg

E7 Polar no, because it's not named after HOW you play it

Kit McIntosh what if Americans used the metric system? What would it be? Lol (said by a football fan)

Kit McIntosh The "foot long" thing is an oft-repeated myth. The more likely explanation is that all football codes were distinguished by being played by footmen as opposed to men on horseback, which would be more typical of the wealthy types who could afford indulging in sporting leisures back in those times. Once the industrial revolution was complete, societal shifts made it easier for the lower-to-middle classes to gather for organized sports, even if they still couldn't afford sporting horses. Whereupon all forms of football (soccer, rugby, canadian, american, australian, etc) began to rise, more or less simultaneously.
