>>260232 At the beginning of football, all points were only scored from field goals by the kickers; as a result, it was called football. It eventually added touchdowns, and the game's scoring because less and less based on feet. However, it's name of football stuck with it, for that is what it was originally called.
It's kind of how basketball used to be guys trying to get the ball into an actual basket, but because it was annoying to get the ball out of the basket after every score, they cut the bottom out, so it was a basket without a bottom. Soon after that, the re did the basket with just the rim of the basket remaining, and the shell of the basket being replaced with a net. However, despite it not using an actual basket anymore, it is still called basketball, for that's what it has always been called.
