    No for real tho on this particular spot, the british were the ones calling it association football which they shorthanded to soccer then they stuck that shit to america like a plasma grenade in halo, now could and should we change american football to something thays not called football? Yes. But the original sin lands with the english.

        That was pretty much located solely in mesoamerica - the more regionally accurate game would be what we now call Lacrosse, and is still quite popular.
