Football Facts: In its inception during the late 19th
century, players used soccer balls to play football. Soon, they were replaced
with rugby-type balls that were slightly oblong which allowed the carrier to
better grasp the ball while running. The modern-day football emerged around
1906 to make it more aerodynamic when American football rules were changed to
allow the forward pass. Contrary to popular belief, footballs in general were
never made of pigskin leather. However, earlier football models contained inner
bladders which were made from pigs' stomach.
