_x000D_ The history of 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. _x000D_
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. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, gameplay developments by college coaches such as 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. _x000D_
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.

I bought these coasters to go with my mouse pad, also from Zazzle. They arrived in really fast time and were well packaged. The quality of the coaster is better than I imagined, they look very durable and unlikely to blemish like normal coasters. Very pleased with this purchase. The printing is perfect on each coaster, they look very smart indeed. I love them.
