Well, it's also called pigskin although I can't remember in my lifetime an oinker was ever used in making one.

I always just called my football Earl, but it never really caught on. Also, hand egg is only what they call in on TV. American slang has dubbed it football, because we hate the fact that the rest of world loves such a boring and senseless sport. I mean, if people aren't getting hurt then what's the point?
Personally, I think they should call American football "WARBALL". The team formations remind me of the frontlines in a war/strategy game. That's why I like the game.
Wikipedia doesn't even call it "hand egg". You must be from some isolated foreign country that was visited by Europeans in the 19th century and whose nation already had a variation of American football and recently just got internet.
If you guys would play a real sport like American football, we wouldn't have this problem. Yea, that just happened. In all seriousness though, where did they even get the idea to call American Football, football?

You're obviously joking but if you aren't I'm wondering why is it a real sport? aren't all sports real?
