FUN WITH FOOTBALL
Did you know ...
The man most responsible for the transition from the rugby-like game to the sport of football we know today was Walter Camp , known as the “ Father of American Football .” As a Yale undergraduate and medical student from 1876 to 1881 , Camp played halfback and served as team captain , equivalent to head coach at the time . Even more importantly , he was the guiding force on the rules board of the newly formed Intercollegiate Football Association ( IFA ).
In 1920 , the American Professional Football Association — later known as the National Football League — was founded in Canton , Ohio , greatly professionalizing the sport . After growing in size and popularity during the first half of the 20th century , the NFL merged with the American Football League , its rival , in 1970 , becoming the behemoth it is today . Today , with 32 member teams , the NFL is the largest football league in the United States . And football is by far the country ’ s most popular sport : According to a 2018 Gallup poll , 37 percent of U . S . adults name football as their favorite sport to watch , followed by basketball at 11 percent and baseball at 9 percent . Who do you root for ?
