The pictures in the beginning are from the 1500s and you mark the year as being in the 1800s. Early American football developed from rugby. The first game was the Harvard v McGill game in 1875.
Your information is a bit off. Yes, those early years were all about the wild games of what eventually became Football. (association Football or Soccer for short) Rugby Union developed, as stated, once Webb-Ellis picked the ball up and ran. That started Rugby Union and that spread throughout the Ivy League Universities in England in the mid 1800's. Eventually it was copied by the Ivy League Universities in the USA and they were getting huge crowds of 50,000 to big games between Universities. So, the business-like Americans saw an opportunity to make the game Professional BUT... Rugby Union was STRICTLY amateur. So, Americans like Walter Camp devised a game based on Rugby Union and called it Gridiron and made it Professional. Meaning the players could get paid. Completely different rules but kept a number of the terms used. eg A Touchdown in Gridiron came from the requirement in Rugby to "touch down the ball" to score. Eventually the name was changed to American Football and the Americans shortened that to Football, even though using the feet is seldom used and the world-wide game of Football (Soccer) was already being played. So your version is actually incorrect!
Yah meanwhile American football is played by at least seventy two countries and have their own American football associations. Just look up IFAF Also the thing the world calls football was originally called soccer when it was first established by the English.

The Greek Spartans were a good football team back in the day.
Nice, I love this
Thanks for watching
Gotta love how it focused on which races played the game instead of INNOVATIONS of the game.
I love how you did not talk about the World Football League of the 1970s and how it affected teams especially the Miami Dolphins.
“Started back in Ancient Greece” behave 😂 football was created then from that rugby was created then American football came from that

Well the USFL got back on there feet in 2018 after geting all the debts paid off 😊😮😮
Wat the point of a video if u still got to read it😤
So football (the real one) rules the world, gridiron won't ever do it.
There are 7 codes of football so your comment is still ambiguous. I'm assuming you mean association football?
