The sport known simply as "football" in America and Canada is called "American football" in other parts of the world. In Australia and New Zealand the sport is known as "Gridiron."
In America, gridiron just refers to the field where the game is played. Football is a competitive team sport that is very rough in nature but still relies on a great deal of strategy. Of course, getting the ball to the opposing team's end zone is the objective of the game. Points can be scored by delivering the ball past the goal line, throwing the football to a teammate across the goal line or by a field goal kicked between the opposing teams goal posts.
Since the early 1970s, Gallup Polling has found that football is America's most popular sport. In fact, the polls suggest that football has never been more popular. Television ratings also prove that football is the most popular sport in the USA, and the Super Bowl is treated by most Americans as a national holiday. Many professional football leagues have existed in the United States, and the AFL (American Football League) was popular in the 1960s. But it is the NFL (National Football League) and its 32 teams that comprise the only major football league in the United States of America. But college football is a major draw throughout the US, and four US teams (Ohio State, University of Tennessee, Penn State and the University of Michigan) have stadiums with more than 100,000 seats.
High school football is also extremely popular in many areas of the USA, and the games are often huge events with cheerleaders, tailgate parties, marching bands, homecoming by alumni and thousands in the crowd. In many small and medium-sized towns, the traditional weekly football game is the most important event of the week. Because of the size of the crowds, revenue derived from the weekly games heavily support the athletic programs of both private and public schools. It is now a tradition for high school games to be played on Friday and college games on Saturday.
Most football players in the US are on youth, pee wee or amateur teams, but some semi-pro teams pay players a small stipend. Few women play organized football, and the game is played almost exclusively by men and boys. However, the number of women playing football has increased in recent years.
The sport of American football can trace its origins to the Great Britain (United Kingdom) which played a variety of football in the middle of the 19th century. American football most closely resembles rugby football. This is because ball handling is more important than kicking the ball. In America, football seems to have begun in the early part of the 1800s in secondary schools and colleges mostly in the Eastern USA. Teams from these schools basically moved an inflatable ball across a set line to garner points. Although the number of men was not the same as today, these games were truly the historical origins of the game of football we know today in the United States.
