We call it a football because it's a foot long, not because we hit it with our feet (which we do but that's not the point).

Well yes, but no. A football is only 11 inches long so it's not a foot. And as has been explained every 8 months or so by various members it's call football because everything back when it was created was called football. Then the British called the type of football they liked soccer to help differentiate between games. Then they didn't like it that the stupid Americans used their name so reverted back to calling it football. Meanwhile we stupid Americans just kept on using the term soccer so people knew and kept calling football, football because that's what everyone knew it by anyway.
