Who Invented Football by Ryan

Who Invented Football?
He, Walter Camp, helped steer American football away from rugby and soccer rules.
Over many years, rugby turned into our modern football.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1876, a conversation was held about the first rules for American football.
Now, William Heffelfinger, became the first person to get paid for a football game.
Very cool fact...
Enjoying looking at the past, how they use the pigskin's football.
Next, in 1920 the American Professional Football Association was created.
The two leagues eventually merged to start the Super Bowl.
Eventually, Yale coach Walther Camp became the the "Father Of American Football"
During the first football game, PAC fumbled and running the ball 35 yards to score a touchdown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From bone jarring sacks and gravity defying catches, to goal line standings, and thrilling kickoff returns, there's nothing quite like the sport of football.
Over the years, the Professional Football Association changed their name to the National Football League. (NFL)
Over many years, football was primarily played by colleges.
Today, the Super Bowl is the most watched television event in the United States every year.
Back in the day, football had a interesting past.
A rivalry between Pittsburgh Athletics Club, eventually led to the first professional football player:; William (Pudge) Heffelfinger.
Leagues are hight competition since the football league started.
Lastly, I think football is one of the greatest sports around.
