It was more to separate aristocrat games (riding horses) from peasant games (on foot) and less about categorizing sports:

In 1825, William Hone writes about “foot-ball” as a game in which players are to carry a ball in their hands but are never allowed to use their feet to touch the ball as follows: “The game was this: he who at any time got the ball into his hands, run [sic] with it till overtaken by one of the opposite part; and then, if he could shake himself loose from those on the opposite side who seized him, he run on; if not, he threw the ball from him, unless it was wrested from him by the other party, but no person was allowed to kick it.” (William Hone, “The Everyday Book”, 1825).

@ProspectTimes Nope.

“Although the popularly believed etymology of the word football, or "foot ball", originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, this may be a false etymology. An alternative explanation has it that the word originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. These sports were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports more often enjoyed by aristocrats.”

Soccer is English, not American. Soccer is the British slang for “Association Football”, used to separate it from “Rugby Football.” The “foot-ball” word is not because of the contact between the foot and the ball, but to say “on foot” and separate it from “horseball” (games played riding horses).

@EthanMelto53431 @JeffWilsonTXR @DLLS_Rangers Your subscription will carry over as is. You need to activate it on the new system (not sure how).

[Rangers Dust @RangersDust]

@IsaacJarrell2 @SleeperRangers No. That’s for those who are already paying monthly. The prices are unchanged (as of now), and if you have a V+ account, it will transfer.

[Rangers Dust @RangersDust]

@Rangers__Nation What will be the cost next season?

[Rangers Dust @RangersDust]

A switch mid season??? This is ridiculous.

@RangerApologist I am starting to think that keeping Rocker and Martin on the roster isn’t a good idea.

@nifa____ @teKa088 In order to get to getting paid millions he had to do it when he wasn’t paid a dime.

[Rangers Dust @RangersDust]

@AneeqaAK8 @Yuyu_ason @Bri_an2 No. It’s on players that are active to a play, regardless of scoring.

@Kern_Alan @davidwillis138 @EricRSammons Depends. When I go at lunch break, a 10 mins homily might be a serious problem that prevents me to go.

[Rangers Dust @RangersDust]

@RobinFrancis @EricRSammons Yep. And they should have a 30 min window to hear confession right before or right after daily mass. Not just an hour a week or “on appointment.”

@scottlincicome @21milkman @BaronVnOttomatc My typical lunch when I up my protein intake:
- 0.5lbs 93% lean Ground beef ($3.95)
- 150g Basmati rice ($0.30)
- Oikos Pro Greek Yogurt ($1.50)
- Light babybell cheese ($0.60).

Total: $6.35 for 720 cal, 76g of protein.

This should win some sort of award.
