Mugendramon Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 AHAHAHAHA football is such a silly topic. Especially when you realize that american english went ahead and used the word for whatever the f*** they wanted and assigned the actual representation of the word an entirely different one.

[/quote]Considering how long ago each sport was made, I'm not sure we can truly contemplate it. It probably makes perfect sense with enough information about it. Alright. I did a little research. Football, as a term, refers to any sort of sport that uses the feet to move a ball, all to a varying degree, of course. American football didn't have a name upon its conception, and there were all different types of the sport played across the nation denominated, and this is an important point, by high schoolers or younger. The first collegiate game of american football that was played played much more like classic football (soccer) than the current version, which plays more like rugby. That would probably be why the name stuck. Oh, and he US didn't come up with the term Soccer. The Brits did The term "soccer", derived from a transformation/emendation of the "assoc" in Association football, was popularised by a prominent English footballer, Charles Wreford-Brown (1866–1951). The first recorded use of "soccer" was in 1895. Two years earlier The Western Gazette reported that "W. Neilson was elected captain of ‘rugger’ and T. N. Perkins of ‘socker’" and Henry Watson Fowler recommended socker in preference to "soccer" to emphasise its correct pronunciation (i.e. hard "cc/ck"). In this context, he suggested that "baccy", because of the "cc" in "tobacco", was "more acceptable than soccer" (there being no "cc" in "Association"). "Socker" was the form that appeared in the first edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1911). Also, rugby's full name is rugby football. Most likely, the reason American football became known as football instead of association football in the US was because American football was more popular in, well, America. Note that until the later half of the last decade, Australia, New Zealand, and another country that I don't remember well enough also called Association football "soccer" This has been your daily etymology lesson.
