Baseball is like cricket.
American Football and Rugby ARE similar they run with the ball, touchdown, throw it over the thing, and score. |

Rugby you tackle too.
Why should Brittish football be called soccer? they actually kick the ball with their feet, they don't much in American footbvall, the names shoukld stay the same.
End of. |
