Why is American football called football if the ball is not actually a foot long?

American football is called football because it evolved from a game that was played on foot, rather than on horseback. The term "football" originally referred to any game played on foot, as opposed to games played on horseback, like polo. The shape and size of the ball used in American football are not related to the name of the sport.
