I totally agree. It's called 'football' in the USA because waaaaay back players from Rugby in England, where they play Rugby football, came to the US to play the game against Harvard, Princeton etc.. They liked the game so well that they started playing it. They eventually changed the name and the game to allow forward passing. Hence - American Football.
