Because the players wear socks when they're hitting the ball, hence the word.

Or maybe it derives from some sort of British slang.

D'oh. That makes a lot of sense. xP
Your new avatar is making me confused. I keep thinking you are someone else.

Actually, American football has it's origin from Rugby football where you use your feet to kick the ball over the goal lines to score. It's been upped and revamped since then, kind of like a language. We now have the concept of scrimmage, four downs, and all of that. But there is a REASON the sport is called football, and it's not because of the ball we use. You can check the ancestry back to the 1600's as well. Go ahead, I'll be waiting. c:

I like V's explanation better. I now Imagine Sock Ball. It's a glorius sports played by people wearing nothing but socks. The more socks, the better.
