I’ve been reading this guide and find that it explains everything about this obscure game.

Just think of it as turn-based Rugby

I still can’t get over how they stole another game’s name, especially since their stupid game is just light rugby for people with no attention span and there isn’t even a ball, or the continuous use of foot.

All games played on foot in a field were versions of football. This differentiated from sports not played on foot, like polo.

American football, as played between some universities there, began with a version of soccer rules and then switched to rugby, as it was at the time. Since then the rules of both rugby and American football have diverged from each other.

More like Settlers of the Catan.

Fair comparison.

Never played the American Foosball but enjoyed playing rugby at school immensely, one the faster runners in a group of fat kids meant I was unstoppable, hooray for being not being serious enough about sport to be in a group of kids who could run for more than a minute without collapsing.

I mean, if you think about it, stealing something from someone else and then making it your own is what America is all about.

Like the invention of the plane?

Planes, cars (my state’s standardized hs test credited Henry Ford with inventing the automobile), and our nation.

Henry Ford inventing the automobile is a bit much, the first mass produced automobile maybe.
