Which one do you play most?

I don't understand how can you even call it football as it obviously is handball. Unless you refer to the sport that is the most popular in the world, the only true football, also known to you as soccer. Stop calling American football true football, you can call it true handball if you like. You can ask Cleese about that if you like :)

There's room for both in the nomenclature. We can respect the true masters of that sport where men dance and jig around for 90 minutes in short pants, often for little or no results, and spell it "futbol." After all, 90% of the best players have Spanish or Portuguese as their first language. The sport that most closely resembles organized combat and requires a pain threshold to make a Spartan cry we spell "football." ;)

Truth is, I love futbol and rugby. Great sports. But football is in a league of its own. You probably have to see and hear the game up close to get it. Hockey has a similar problem; it's hard to appreciate if you've only seen it on video.
