1.American football derived from two other sports, soccer and rugby. A similar game was played by the Greeks called Harp Aston. The goal was to get a ball across the field by running, kicking, or throwing the ball. The catch to it was that there were no pads and no grass. Tackling was legal and there was no limit to the amount of people could play. The objective of the game is to get the ball and move it to the other end of the field from which you start.
2.There is the National Football League (NFL) which is the peak for most football players. Within that are two divisions, the NFC and the AFC. There is the college football league and the high school football league. There is an indoor (arena) football league which is played on a 50 yard field. There is an all-star game for after every season for the NFL and an all-star team for the Olympics.

Umm, a few quibbles: Fullback is not unique to American Football; where's point six?
It's good, in all, but much too bland, and doesn't really bring the sport into any new light for someone who supposedly knows little about it, like me, being English.
