In: 1
“Football” is very old. It existed before the US, but the rules were not written down and different people in different places used different rules and even different types of balls. In the UK, “football” first started getting formal rules at universities, and different types of football clubs began to form. Eventually two particular sets of rules for the game became popular and they started to form into two sports, which would eventually become football (soccer) and rugby.
The game that was brought to the US from the UK as football was an early version of what we now know as rugby. In the US, schools and universities formed associations to start to formalize rules for the sport and eventually that became American football. Modern football (soccer) developed separately in the UK around the same time and spread across Europe from there.
American football is popular today because it’s considered faster and more exciting than many other sports.
