The only times you use your foot is either for the extra point, giving the ball away after a touch down, when you want to get three points because you're settling instead of going for the touch down, or when your afraid that the other team will take it on the fourth down so you want to put them as far away from their goal as possible. So why do you call it football when only about 15 minutes max out of a 2 or more hour game has nothing to do with your foot as opposed to real football where you almost always are just kicking it?
