Trying to apply logic at Americans. Waste of time. They still use imperial and call their sport football even though it's without using a foot and ball.

The foot only hits the 'ball' for kickoffs and field goals. The rest of the timr its in their hands. Should call it handball. Used to call it pigskin football until they stopped using pig skin to make the weird balls.

Handball is also a different game already.
