A stand in for war. In modern society, there are certain anachronistic human traits that persist, despite their lack of adaptiveness. One is the need for some sort of territorial conflict. Football teams are named after, and have stadiums in, certain geographic areas (eg the βOakland Raidersβ) to create the illusion that they are, somehow representative of this area. All, or almost all, of the players and coaches are inevitably not from this area, but the naming scheme is enough of a paper thin veneer to allow anyone in the entire state to arbitrarily consider this βtheirβ team. This feeds into the irrational impulse for territorial struggle or even war while maintaining decorum. Also makes millions of dollars.
Bob: What do you think of the Seattle Seahawks football team?
Sally: Well, despite the fact that everyone on the team is from the deep south, I am from Seattle and thus live vicariously through them.
1. A Sport that is very popular in America.
2. A Sport that is very popular in England.
3. A word that often causes foolish arguments between fans of American football, and soccer fans.
4. The gayest sport there is.
1. Almost everyone in the US watches the NFL, even though the game is played at its finest in college.
2. Football is the name for "soccer" in england. I believe the English call American Football Gridiron. And in the other large English speaking nations, Canada and Australia, Football is an entirely different sport.
3. Any soccer fan will be quick to point out that the "rest of the world" calls their sport football. However this is not true as the "rest of the world" does not speak English,In Spanish speaking countries it is "Futbol" and I have I am pretty sure the Chinese word for it doesn't resemble "football." Even in Canada and Australia it means something different.
4. I mean honestly, if you played football you'll remember, football is nothing but a bunch of sweaty guys, rubbing up against each other, showering together, slapping each others asses, and wearing really tight pants.

A man's sport that requires you to take a hit from a 300+ pound guy who runs a 4.4 40 yard dash. Everyone is swole as fuck, quick as fuck, and tough as shit. It is often critisized by silly-ass foreigners because of the pads, but these cunt muffins fail to realize that these pads are required, or the player might get seriously fucked up. Most people realize that these shit talkers could never come close to being on the same level as these athletes. It is also one of the most entertaining sports in the world, unlike soccer, where a bunch of fags run around a kick a ball for 3 hours.
Soccer Player-"Soccer is the most popular sport in the world!"
Football Player-"Shut the fuck up bitch, and suck this dick."
Soccer Player-"Yes sir.......
*Glaugh Blaugh Hauge*
Soccer Player-"Can I stop now sir?"
Football Player- *Beats the shit out of the little ho*

Basically the footballer is the kid in school who plays football non-stop, wears his full uniform everywhere he goes (cleats included), but is for the most part a nice kid, gets along with everybody and is actually very intelligent once you get to know him. And yes, if he does have to wear other clothing it will be some basketball shorts, a t-shirt and some $100+ Nike Shox that he bought five years ago when he was still only wearing a size 15.
"He's trackin' mud all over our haulways with those dirty football cleats! Are those even allowed here?"
"It's ok, he's cool. He's a footballer."

Football is the best sport in the history of man, not including wizarding sports like Quidditch. For U.S.A users, it's soccer. You kick a ball into a net, and shout and scream for the rest of the match because you scored.
Guy 1: Hey, I scored a goal in football today!
Guy 2: Well, I scored ten goals in my football match!
