Hmm.. This is about American football in which the ball is mostly carried like in Rubgy. I think you are thinking about soccer (which is called football in the non - American world).

Interesting question. I never really thought about it before. Maybe we just wanted to be different or something. Who knows? I do know that I've been a Dallas Cowboy fan since I was five and have actually developed an interest in other teams as well because I enjoy watching the sport. I used to play with the boys when I was a kid and always played quarter back because they knew I was so small I could run the ball down the field between their legs. It was a lot of fun and the boys thought it was funny that a little girl liked football. I liked basketball, too, but since I was fairly small, my backyard was as far as I could go.

That's great! Of course the game here which is similar is rugby, and that is also played by women though it's a tough game, more so than American football I think because the players do not wear all that padding. Injuries are not uncommon.

I think its called so because ball is kicked too along with carrying.
