Reply to comment by OregonKlee8367 in Everyone is wrong about footballs, it is neither the shape of a ball nor does it have any feet. by --DoReFuckMi--

Quoted from gang green nation:

"It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") references the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in Medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation."

Nothing to do with length. A ball is a sphere, not oval, HANDOVAL!!

EDIT: what kind of serious source of information is this green nation ? And was it the only source you used or just the most supportive?
