For the beginning of American Football go to the NCAA website.  The first known game was a college game between Princeton and Rutgers back in the 1890's.  Professional football has a sorted past.  There were many "regional leagues" from the early 1900's.  These were primarily in the NE and MidW.  An example of these teams would be the Philadelphia Yellowjackets and Pittsburg Steelers.  Look up either/both teams for that background.  The NFL, as we know it, arrives in the 40's.  The NFL Hall of Fame in Canton can supply you with all the details.

The origins of football (soccer) are thought to be over 2000 years old. Indeed, in 2004, football's governing body FIFA officially acknowledged that China was the birthplace of football, when people played the sport of cuju around 200 BC. The rules would be changed over time into the sport played today.\n\nIt was widely play in england from middle ages (the origins are allegedly roman, but no one knows for sure), but it wasn't until 1848 the first set of rules resembling the modern game were produced at Trinity College, Cambridge. This is considered as the birth of modern football.

There is only one kind of "football".........American football . \n\nWhy is soccer called soccer and what exactly is a soccer?\n\nAmerican football was started in 1879 with rules instituted by Walter Camp.\nDerived from the English game of rugby, American football was started in 1879 with rules instituted by Walter Camp, player and coach at Yale University. He was general athletic director and head advisory football coach at Yale University from 1888-1914, and chairman of the Yale football committee from 1888-1912. Camp played football at Yale and helped evolve the rules of the game away from Rugby and Soccer rules into the rules of American Football as we know them today.\n\nOne precursor to Walter Camp's influence was William Ebb Ellis, a student at the Rugby School in England. In 1823, Ellis was the first person noted for picking up the ball during the soccer game and running with it, thereby breaking and changing the rules. In 1876, at the Massosoit convention, the the first attempts at writing down the rules of American football were made. Walter Camp edited every American Football rulebook until his death in 1925.\n\nWalter Camp contibuted the following changes from Rugby and Soccer to American football: \n\none side retained undisputed possession of the ball, until that side gives up the ball as a result of its own violations \nthe line of scrimmage \n11 on a team instead of 15 \ncreated the quarter-back and center positions \nforward pass \nstandardized the scoring system, numerical scoring \ncreated the safety, interference, penalties, and the neutral zone \ntackling as low as the knee was permitted - 1888 \na touchdown increased in value to six points and field goals went down to three points - 1912

Football started as soccer. They only use their feet.  Americans stole the name because it was the next sport to move a ball back and forth across the field. It should have been called "Wussy Rugby". Hamburg was the name of the city where the piece's of meat were first cooked in Germany by the Deustchvolk, before being added to buns in America (In Russia, they used to keep the meat under their saddle to tenderize it and eat it raw later). Some people argue that the hot dog got it's name because of the shape of a Dachsund (used to be called "the little dog sausage").

Football is a game which dates back literally hundreds of years but it has changed form a lot over the centuries. It originally started as an unrecognisable game in which two whole villages would compete against each other to fight, kick, punch and brawl their way to carry a ball to a certain target area. The current version of the game started in England in the second half of the 19th century.\n\nAs for introducing it to the world, the first international game was between England and Scotland but I can't say for sure exactly when

when football was first invented it was similar to soccer and rugby, the early games where played by using a variety of techniques to score, a drop kick like what we saw doug flutie this year attempt on a extra point was rampent in the early years of the sport.  drop kicks were used so much in the early days and were worth two points.  most teams would settle on a drop kick to get points easily, but then the ball was more round like a soccer ball. the evolution of the american football evolved through testing to see how you could throw a ball further, now it has evolved into the passing and rushing game we see today, but years in the past the dropkick led the sport to be called football, rumor had it that while the inventor was visiting mexico he heard a word about the sport soccer or rugby being callef futbol and then brought the word back and dubbed american football.
