[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 88766"] The evolution of American Football from Rugby happened a bit more subtley than you'd imagine (I had to take The History of Football for my minor in Physical Education). Scrum caps became mandatory (which evolved into helmets), they added the forward pass, and the rest is just a bunch of added rules. They took away the act of touching the ball down to score a "Touch Down." [/QUOTE]
