That's a great question. I don't know. I do know that the sport evolved from rugby and association football.
It's almost the best time of year. the first kickoff of American Football season. And to just think; the first match of American football was played on November 6, 1869! I'm sure it's a complete different game then it is today. The year the Detroit Lions will win the super bowl. The first match was between Rutgers and Princeton. Strange now those are college teams and not NFL They were college teams then too. Any clue when the NFL started?
American football evolved in the United States, originating from the sports of association football and rugby football.
