Lets see. Football is an offshoot of Rugby, like we are from Chimpanzees. Chimpanzees still exist right? So does Rugby.

Because rugby is a man's sport. Football is for sissies.
Football players wear pads
Women wear pads
Fooball players wear tights
Women wear tights
Football players wear helmets
Kids on the short bus wear helmets.
Oh and lets not talk about the quarterback putting his hands between a crouching man's legs to keep them warm.

Actually I think you'll find it's better than that. [American] football evolved from rugby which evolved from football (soccer).
So if football evolved from football, why is there still football?
