Oh I'll answer this too. In my day we didn't play this footie thing. It became a bit popular a few years after my time, but mostly among the girls. After several years some people really tried to make it known, but it remained a girlie game. A couple years ago I actually saw adult men behind the house where I grew up who were playing your football. I watched for a few minutes to make sure it wasn't something else, but that's what it was. It did occur to me that they might be a group of foreigners living in the area, or some such thing. But it was a surprise to me. Of course, it'll be common there in a few years when the population becomes 90% Mexican-derived, but that's alright then.
Why hasn't rugby become popular everywhere? That's a sport, the way I see it.

It's not a real sport. Put six big guys on ice, give them sticks, and tell them to hit each other: that's a sport! (Thanks Canada!) Football appears to be for wussies who fall down crying when they stub their big toes. I can see why it appeals to the French.
I didn't know "Elliot" was a French name.
