It is almost impossible to pick a date when American Football was invented. The invention of American football was incredibly gradual. Even though American football is a relatively young sport it has slowly developed and evolved over a long time. While we tend to think of it as a uniquely American sport, its origin and history demonstrate that it is an evolution of sports that have been played since ancient times.
