Answeraround 1876 Answerit startred in the 1860'sANSWER
they are all lying he invented it in 1886 no wait it was 1863 yeah it was 1863
Walter Camp could not have invented football in 1863 because he would have only been 4 years old. He invented the sport in 1879 while he was a player/coach at Yale University.
well, I think they just thought paying people to throw a ball and start running down the field screaming TOUCHDOWN while other people tried to stop the person running was just another way to pay people in a stupid way. But i don't know the real answer, that's just my guess.
Walter Camp didn't make football rules. He was merely one member of a committee who got together to try and improve safety and standardize rules and procedures to improve the sport as played in colleges and universities in the late 1800s. He, along with the other members of the committee, proposed various changes, some of which were adopted, some of which were not.
Walter Camp was approximately 21 years old in 1880, the year he proposed the base rules of what would become football. The first rules of "modern" football established the line of scrimmage and the center to (quarter) back snap.
