So......
We have a game called "baseball"
And we call another game "football"
So......
Why don't we call soccer "soccerball"?
And golf "golfball"?
We have volleyball, but not tennisball.
And we have basketball, but not bowlingball.
What's up with this?!
About Me
- Jon
- I'm 26 and I am the production manager for CIY Summer Conference. This basically means that I answer for anything that happens on the stage at the event as well as and media elements produced ahead of time (video, music, etc...), event lighting sound, video, transitions, stage design, stage layout, venues, and truck driving. I am currently in a band called Foundation Red from which I had already resigned effective this April to fascilitate this job at CIY.

You're killing me!
The rest of the world calls soccer football (or futbol), so to most that game does fall into the pattern.
I have no explanation for any of the others. I'm guessing there is a story dating back a couple hundred years for both tennis and golf.
Bowling was just called bowling because it can be played with anything that will slide or roll (frozen turkeys for instance work pretty well). Thus calling it bowlingball would not have covered the entire scope of the sport.
I am just generally pissed that you don't have me in the pals collum! I am showing my injury from today right now!
How many points are in a touchdown?
