History of american football

The history of American football can be traced to early
versions of rugby football and association football. Both
games have their origin in varieties of football played in
Britain in the mid-19th century, in which a football is
kicked at a goal or kicked over a line, which in turn were
based on the varieties of English public school football
games.

Rules and implements

Football is a contact sport in which two teams of players
try to get the ball to the end zone or kick it between the
posts. The attacking team has four attempts to advance
9 meters. Each attempt allows a forward pass , and ends
when the opposing team knocks the ball carrier or the
ball falls to the ground.
