How are baseball and football similar?

Answer 1

Now- nothing except some terms such as referees, penalties and goals. Initially the game of football (soccer) allowed handling of the ball. The ball carrier could kick forward OR carry the ball backward to their team mate. When the changed in 1823 a young lad named William Web Ellis picked up the ball ad instead of running backward or "hacking" the ball forward, he ran forward with the ball.

"Football is a game for gentle folk played by thugs whilst Rugby is a thugs game played by gentle folk".
