It's definitely the most foot-oriented ball game, for sure.

We call it football here. Europeans call it "American football". It's based 
on a game called "Grid iron", so you hear that too. Chinese call it "olive 
ball."

If you'd rather I just call it "football" like the other 300 million people 
around me, without distinguishing it from what *you* call football, I'm 
happy to oblige. It's just going to be confusing as hell.

Thank you for your troll. It has been noted.
