My point exactly!
In my opinion to be classifeid as football is it has to use a 3D-ovalish ball.

But association football is the eldest modern one. It directly begot rugby which directly begot American football. It has been played they way it is now since 1863 and its earliest known form was the Chinese game of Cuju, back in the second and third centuries BC.
And when the question is put to me whether a game in which a ball is primarily carried from A to B or a game in which a ball is primarily kicked should be called football... the only sensible option is the latter.
