True dat. In our version played in the USA, any part of the player can touch the 'pigskin' as it was once called. It is carried in the hands, thrown with the hands, caught with the hands. Kicking just get's the game rolling, or when any of the above do not provide a team with the desired result. In the game of 'Football' as played elsewhere, action is confined to the foot and bean. Your other appendages are only used for pushing, tripping, and blacking the eyes of opponents. Ice Hockey has become a gang war with some bit of attention played to the scoring of goals with their oversized Field Hockey sticks. People who play Field Hockey grow up to play field Polo if they can afford a good horse. Water Polo is like Ice Hockey, but you can't see what a players hands and feet are doing under the frothy water. And they throw a little ball around when someone can find it.
