American football can be traced to early versions of
rugby football and association football. Both games have their origin in
varieties of football played in Britain in the mid-19th century, in which a
football is kicked at a
goal and/or run over a line.
American football resulted from several major divergences from rugby, most notably the rule changes instituted by
Walter Camp, considered the "Father of American Football". Among these important changes were the introduction of the
line of scrimmage and of
down-and-distance rules.[SUP]

Eddie Cochems,
Amos Alonzo Stagg,
Knute Rockne, and
Glenn "Pop" Warner helped take advantage of the newly introduced
forward pass. The popularity of
collegiate football grew as it became the dominant version of the sport in the United States for the first half of the 20th century.
Bowl games, a college football tradition, attracted a national audience for collegiate teams. Bolstered by fierce
rivalries, college football still holds widespread appeal in the US.
The origin of
professional football can be traced back to 1892, with
William "Pudge" Heffelfinger's $500 contract to play in a game for the
Allegheny Athletic Association against the
Pittsburgh Athletic Club. In 1920 the American Professional Football Association was formed. This league changed its name to the
National Football League (NFL) two years later, and eventually became the
major league of American football. Primarily a sport of Midwestern industrial towns in the United States, professional football eventually became a national phenomenon. Football's increasing popularity is usually traced to the
1958 NFL Championship Game, a contest that has been dubbed the "Greatest Game Ever Played". A rival league to the NFL, the
American Football League (AFL), began play in 1960; the pressure it put on the senior league led to a
merger between the two leagues and the creation of the
Super Bowl, which has become the most watched television event in the United States on an annual basis.[SUP]
