Is football really an American sport?

Answer 1

It's doubtful. American football -- or the National Football League -- is by far the most popular sport in the nation. On February 7, 2010, the NFL Championship Game -- also known as the Super Bowl -- was the most-watched program in the history of American television.

Football -- also known as soccer -- is becoming more popular in America, and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa certainly drew interest here. But American football should remain supreme for years to come.

Answer 2

Depends on which football you're referring to; if you mean gridiron the yes, that was invented in America, but if you meant football (soccer), then no, this was invented in England.

Answer 3

No it is not since you use your HANDS for transporting the ball to a goal and and balls are by definition, a sphere or spherical object; american football balls are NOT spherical.
