That's because the actual title is "What it WAS was football". My biggest pet peeve is when people ask "Where are you AT?" or "Where is it AT?" as if At is needed there. The correct question (I want to finish my sent-tence) is "Where are you?" or "Where is it?". Why anyone adds AT to questions like that is way beyond my scope of interest......I just refer to them all as interlopers - interloping words where they don't belong.
