3. The Evolution of the
American Football
 American football was derived from the English game of
rugby, itself a derivation of what Americans call soccer.
 The original footballs themselves probably were made of
inflated pig’s bladders. As time went on, the bladder
acquired a stitched leather outer skin.
 The shape of the ball was not consciously designed; in fact,
some historians speculate that it was supposed to be
perfectly spherical, but imperfections in construction and in
the way they were inflated led to the current prolate
spheroid with pointed ends.
 Footballs used in professional games today are handmade
to precise standards exclusively by Wilson Sporting Goods.
