If you're going to call the NFL "rugby" you may as well call MLB "cricket."
For of you who know even less about sport than I do:
Soccer. The word used by the Americans, and sometimes by the British, for a game played with a
round ball.
Football - The word usually used by the British (and most of the rest of the world) for the game played with the round ball, and by the Americans for a game played with an
oval ball.
American Football -What the British call the American game.
Rugby - The word used for game played with an
oval ball in Britain, Ireland, France, and several Commonwealth countries.
There is also
Australian Rules football.
