Yes.
so in Rugby League /Union/Gridiron/American Football/AFL
we shouldn't call it a tackle we should call it a arm hug to teh ground
Soccer isn't the same as any of those you just said.Quote:

The same terms can mean different things in different sports. For example, a throw in football usually means a throw-in or a goalie throwing it. Whereas a thro in american football means one of the out field type guys (quarterbacks or whatever) throwing it...

Exactly

The funny thing about all these other forms of football is that they allow the use of the arms. Surely they should be called handball ;)

And Soccer makes me think of keeping my toes warm in the winter!!! :lol: :lol:

No, the shoe does.
Socker was close as it is closer to the ball than the foot, but perhaps "shoeball" is better.
I think we should strive to name each sport as a literal description of the game. Golf should be called, "whack ball with firm rod".
A regressed 4th gen noob:
Out field guys? An outfielder is a baseball position. And yes they will throw the ball to the infield.Quote:

In American football, the "throw" is called a "pass".
At a bar, "throwing a pass" means flirting with a woman.

I'd imagine when the game first started it was just played by kids with now shoes or anything on so they name it football and the name stuck. :unsure:
To throw in cricket is to bowl incorectly.
However there is obviously another type of bowling, which is played on an alley.
Or grass, which is know as a rink.
Which of course would be be also used for skating.
Which they do in hockey.
Unless it is played on grass.
Like cricket.
Where to bowl incorrectly is known as throwing.
