In London, they call soccer "football" and get snotty anytime you refer to the NFL or college football as "football." By embracing London and English people in general, that meant I was embracing their definition of "football."
Maybe the real football gods took it personally. That means I have to renounce London, deny that I ever considered moving there permanently, stop saying things like "one of my biggest regrets is never studying abroad there," and go back to despising British people and making Revolutionary War jokes. Consider it done.
American football has no more foot usage than Rugby and certainly nowhere near the real football (or fútbol). "American Rugby" would have been a more appropriate name for the game, but be it as it may, it will never be as popular or have as much global following as the authentic football. The football world cup continues to be the most watched event in the world, by far, and will most likely continue to be so in our lifetimes...!
