I felt compelled to make this video because people seemingly don't understand why different people call different sports 'football'. I thought the answer was obvious personally. But it's mainly to get some form of entertainment from some of the delusional comments that will no doubt appear on here. Popcorn at the ready folks.

I had heard that "Football" originally referred to any field sport played on foot with a ball. The main point being that the players were on foot as opposed to the then more common and aristocratic horse back games.

wait what

[@user-yw8ek4dj5v]

me to my Italian friends: "Hey let's play football'

[@explosionsandstuff7787]

I know it probably won't mean much, but I would like to thank you for handling the subject with such respect.

Despite having a population of only 25 million people, Australia is the only country in the world that supports four professional football codes:

me: hey guys wanna play football?

[@W1k3dL1zrd]

The handegg segment killed me 😂😂😂

[@danielsalas3394]

Finally someones addresses the annoying "handegg" thing, I can't believe people on the internet are still fighting over which is the "real football", like you know...it's legal to enjoy both association football and american football and call them anyway you want

[@doggy5]

Great video. Just one small thing though. In Australia, the meaning of "football" actually changes depends on where you are. It refers to Australian Rules Football in most of Australia as you said, but if you're in Queensland or New South Wales (Sydney is in New South Wales and Brisbane is in Queensland), "football" would be understood to mean rugby league.

[@matthewlo7868]

Well now... Maybe all the jokers who claim that their code of football is superior can all calm down now after watching this?

[@aagg6124]

Barca probably watched this video before their game at anfield, as they had no idea anymore during the game what the objective was.

[@Jaichbinhier]

The fact that there are so many "football" sports was so intriguing to me

[@pedrodorantes3527]

The greatest video you've ever done sir. Fantastic! Go football... all kinds of football!

[@Harun-cd6jz]

I always thought it was funny that European people demand Americans to stop calling American football "football" when American Football is a descendant of rugby football which was one of the early legitimate variations of English football. NFL football, Canadian football, Aussie Rules, rugby union, and rugby league are ALL football derived from the early forms of football in the 1800s that allowed players to pick the ball up from the ground with their hands. Gaelic football also uses hands. Associaton football/soccer has never had a monoplogy on "football" but because it is massively popular worldwide, ignorant people think there is just one sport called football and any sport using hands isn't "real football" when hand versions of football have existed just as long as the foot only version of football.

[@razormc954]

Also, I commented earlier, but usually when talking with Americans or Canadians, I refer to Gridrion football as "football" and soccer as well you know.

[@elhachem3625]

That voice with the "Handegg" reference was hilarious 😂😂

[@GamePro0012]

I've read that in Canada, depending on context, the word "football" can refer to just Canadian football or to both Canadian and American football collectively.

[@nannyoggsally]

Sport historian Tony Collins has a whole book on the origins and diversification of football in its many codes.
