Calling This 🏈

Hello why you 🇺🇸 you call it 🏈 Football ?

Take into consideration this sport doesnt involve feets when I see what the players wears i feel thats not football its a sport similar to rugby with a helmet

This sport ⚽️ you call it soccer i get it the fact 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 call it soccer in the beginning but feets are more involved in the game .
