Curious Canadian History

S7E18 To Pass or Not to Pass - The Emergence (and Divergence) of North American Football


Listen Later

While both the modern American and Canadian game of football emerged from similar roots, they took very different paths to arrive at the game we recognize today. Americans were much quicker to modify and adapt their game into a uniquely American form of sport, while Canadians were slower to abandon the English roots of rugby and hesitant to adopt rules that could very well make their game seem too "American".
