And we know why Christ had 12 disciples, the twelve tribes of Judea.

You have to go back to when these games were developing where horseback games were reasonable, Polo being the best known today.

I am not sure I'd those other games qualify as football games, just they meet the criteria that got the name.

And football, all of them, are named for the fact you play it on your feet, not how you can touch the ball. American Football has as much right to the name as Association Football, Rugby Football and a number of other sport. Wikipedia seems to have about 10 modern footballs listed.

You could say for a man rated spacecraft, in which case good luck beating Snoopy.

Reply to comment by nixiebunny in If objects in space are far away, does light get scattered enough that it would look “low resolution” by the time it reaches us? by hau2mk7pkmxmh3u

It is also limited by the wavelength of the light that is collected. For most of the IR range the JWST actually has slightly lower resolution than the Hubble since while its mirror is several times bigger the visible light Hubble collected has a shorter wavelength than the IR of JWST and that more than makes up for the difference.
