I haven't decided that's how it is... Plz no ouchies đŸ¤•

EDIT: what kind of serious source of information is this green nation ? And was it the only source you used or just the most supportive?

Quoted from gang green nation:

"It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") references the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in Medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation."

Nothing to do with length. A ball is a sphere, not oval, HANDOVAL!!

This is stated by "gang green nation"

So nothing to do with the length, but STILL, for a sport derived by sports that involved kicking and feet action, handovals are handled by hands more than feet

Even that is debatable. But yeah I can see where you're coming from. I do see humans uncovering anti-aging discoveries that could potentially end age-related death entirely.

It's far-fetched, sure. But I don't think death is a guarantee forever.
