Best football player ever

[SweatyOgre]

Ball is another word for sphere, although it also means the object of a sport, but not always (what do you call it on Hockey, for example?).

We call it ball.

I believe you missed what I was getting at. Unless you just call the ball you use to play "football" a ball. If you call it a football, then what do you call the ball used in rugby? (A football by our terms.) That's what I should have asked. We call it a hockey puck. Where that word came from, I don't know.

To be honest, when we refer to it we usually just call it ball, for all sports. If you need to be more specific, then yeah, footballl ball, or rugby ball, tennis ball, voleyball ball, handball ball.

Mind you, the sport names are a wee bit different, as well as whole grammar, in my country, so it doesn't sound so redundant to repeat the word ball.
