It's one of the main sports in the rest of the world.

And I think we can safely say that the rest of the world knows better than one collection of states in this case.

And anyway, what type of collection of states takes a perfectly good game, makes it much safer and calls it American Football?

1. Originally it was called Rugby and is a great English sport.
2. RUGBY! Where does football come into the name RUGBY?!

Heh heh heh...found a great quote not too long ago. A Bush one of course. In it he talks about "Rugball" and "Footby".

ROFL!
