Super Bowl Fake Fact of the Day

Check it:

Though it's called football, it is neither played with a ball, OR your feet! In fact, it was invented in 1978 by Malcolm Football. This makes football one of the only sports named after a person*, and not the way the game is played!

*Ed Note: Roger Golf, Jack Curling, Mr. Baseball, etc.

I, and the rest of PETA, think it should still be played with a pig's skin.
