Dwight, and now the age old question... if you use your hands all the time on the ball, why is it called "football" in America and the sport that uses the feet to propell the ball loosely called soccer???? Inquiring minds want to know... ride safe... Gordon



Gordon,

I THINK I've just explained THAT ONE with one of my lines contained within my "apology" to Sickboy.

"We Americans are know far and wide throughout the world as egocentric loadmouth smarta$$es...,"

And so, the rest of the friggin' world's "rules"(or definitions) DON'T apply to US!((or should that read...U.S.???)

I sincerely HOPE that this now sets the record straight as to this oft times confusing little matter.

Cheers,
Dwight
(oh...and you ride safe, too)
