In association football the object is to put the ball in the net, in gridiron football one only needs to get it across the goalline.

Japan just recently beat the Yanks in a IFAF U20 game.
Yeah, but there’s also lines on the ground with numbers, strange shaped balls, and butt slapping/weird sexual tension. It looks complicated.
I never watch Super Bowls because they never go my way. I always want both teams to lose.
I DID watch a baseball game once at the Little League World Series. I didn’t like it. Despite whatever Tom Hanks might say, there was lots of crying (in baseball) and crazed parents yelling at the umpire.
The ball is shaped that way to improve how it flies.
The lines are to tell you if you've covered enough distance within the number of downs allowed (4 for American, 3 for Canadian). If the team on offence moves the ball 10 yards before they run out of downs they're back to being on the first down. If the team on the offensive fails to move the ball 10 yards before running out of downs possession goes to the other team and they go on the offence.
I don't really get the buttslapping either.
