History of Football

Football is a popular sport, I have always wondered how it started. I did some reasearch and found out. Football was originally known as rugby when ball is kicked or passed over a line. Later in Britain a man made change to the game known as " line of scrimmage" and "down-and-distance rules". A fun fact is that people belived that the Native Americans played football in villages and schools in Europe. Also the actual birth of pro football was when Yale played against Pittsburgh in a pro game. Football and rugby have come a long way now they're improved way more.
