HUH? The americans didn't invent the word soccer, its short for association football.
The game in question is know as football, as its origins lie in Rugby, and the correct name for rugby is Rugby Football.

Yes but the game of American Football is also a lot rougher than rugby, thats why they wear the armour. For example in rugby if you hit a man while he is in the air thats pretty much a yellow card, in American football thats a legal hit.
And yes your right, there is no skill involved. Throwing a pass, while you have two 350lb men closing in on you, 30 yards into a recievers arms while hes under two man coverage requires no skill at all.
