It deserves to be called Football, anyway it doesn't make much sense that games like League, Union etc should be called football when the game is mostly played by the hands and AFL is usually called Aussie Rules so there is no conflict or confusion on that part either.

Well I agree that in rugby league the ball is played mainly through the hands but as for union, when you can actually see the ball (once it finally emerges from a pile of bodies), I would say that it would more commonly be kicked aimlessly back to the opposition rather than someone passing it or running it.

I believe the word football should be banned by all sports hence stopping this stupid argument.

The sports are as follows.

Soccer
League
Union
Aussie Rules
Gridiron

There done. The term football is gone, no longer required.

not in the shire anymore :(
What about Touch Footy?

Granted, it's often called 'Touch' ... but without 'football' after it, it's just a game where you touch each other. On that note, Mixed Touch sounds fun! I guess it depends on the other team.
