0 Guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigskin In North America, the term football refers to a ball which is used to play American football or Canadian football (both of which developed from Rugby football). It is also referred to as a "pigskin", due to their early use of pig hide to cover the ball. However, when the United States and Asian governments realized how uneconomical it was to manufacture the balls from this material, a movement was sparked by the AATUPS in 1932 arguing that the cruelty towards the pigs was inhumane. Besides I still stand behind the correct answer which GIJeff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
