There's already a sport called football in the USA, so there can't be two footballs.

B/c in USA they have their own "football", which everyone else calls American football, or sometimes rugby (although they aren't the same).
I don't know why they call the American version "football" b/c they don't just use their foot, they use hands, arms, feet, or whatever in the game.

To avoid confusion with the popular type of rugby style game that they call American Football.

I think that it's actually 'football soccer', but in the US, 'American Football' is more popular, hence you call 'soccer' for 'american soccer', and 'futball' for 'american football'.
