American football was born over 100 years in the United States. It is one of the most competitive contact sports in the world where the player requires great discipline, physical training and mental preparation.

The “football” name may seem odd for the american football sport, as the participants’ feet rarely touch the ovoid and kick the ball is allowed only on certain occasions. This sport descends in direct line from rugby, which in turn descends from the football soccer.

In 1888 one of the most important rules that differentiate one practice from the other was introduced, which was to take the player by the waist to prevent their advance, which turned the football much more violent. The game was banned in 1906 because in the course of the season before that year there were 20 dead and 160 seriously injured.

To avoid its extinction, the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt had personally to intervene and suggested new rules for that sport was more smooth, but without aggressiveness. Since then the discipline was based on speed to move forward and score. There were more points for a field goal than a touchdown. In 1906 the pass was legalized the forward pass behind the line of scrimmage and in 1909 the field goal points went dowm from 4 to 3.

Since 1912, the touchdown is worth 6 points.
