Quote ="Bulliac"It`s much more accurate to say that rugby league, rugby Union, American football and soccer are ALL variants of `football` which was played in the 19th century under a variety of rules which varied from area to area.'"
Close, but I don't count union. RL and American football are both ball control games where the objective is to keep possession and march down the field to score touchdowns and therefore brands of football in my opinion. RU depends on kicking to gain ground more than advancing the ball while retaining possession, indeed it has no rules enabling a team to keep possession for a period of time and restart play without a contest. Therefore, only RL and American football are brands of football to me.
