Is this like the selection process at the gym when there were two players left to pick and the leaders said: "ok, you take her and we'll take the other one." 🙂

It will end like that when there is only a ewe and Trev left.

I had forgotten about that until just now. I was usually one of the last picked. But we also moved around a lot when I was a kid, so I was an outsider/observer at an early age anyway.

American football - does it have anything to do with feet?

The ball is kicked and possession is changed afterward. But mostly the ball is handed or passed.

Contrary to the rules of ordinary football where you mustn't touch the ball with your hands, unless you are the goalkeeper?

True, and in many situations in American football, once the ball touches the ground the play ends.
Football and fussball have little in common. Both have huge fan followings.

Apparently it's an interesting form of cosplay over here.

American football has basically nothing in common with association football or other types like Gaelic football and Australian football, but it does have some similarities to rugby football, more so rugby league than rugby union which are two quite separate forms.

Soccer and American football are great but perhaps the most underestimated or underappreciated type of football, [because, for all intents and purposes, it is only played in one country with a relatively small population] is 'Aussie Rules' football. It is the least contrived and most flowing and 'natural' football game of them all.

It’s a bit of general forum fun Suzianne.
