What does Piers Morgan know about American football? Not long ago, I actually heard him say that the “football” he likes is played with a round ball. It’s a safe bet that he doesn’t know a touchdown from a touch back or a pass play from a punt.

Actually, football is a more descriptive term for soccer (Brits call soccer “footy”) than it is for NFL or CFL football. For the vast majority of the game, the foot isn’t used in American football. The foot is used almost exclusively in soccer.
