What came first soccer or football? |
[Edit] |
Americans started playing football shortly after it was invented in 1863 by the English. They played it in all their universities. However american students struggled with the technical side of football. Their coaches became frustrated.
In order to save face america and Canada invented their own sports so they would have a chance of winning something and could avoid competition.
Gridiron was invented and football hating became the national pastime.
Most sports fans in america get their sporting identity from hating football, spending hours on forums or radio talk shows insulting footballers and their fans.
Children who play football at high schools in north america are often abused by steroid induced gridiron freaks. Websites have been set up to insult football and try to prevent it from becoming americas national sport.
Americans to my knowledge still play gridiron and baseball long after most people have dismissed these activities as not being real sports.
