Football Ornaments
American Football: 
The first person paid to play football was William Heffelfinger also called Pudge; he was paid 500 dollars in 1892 to play for Allegheny against Pittsburgh. Of course American Football started earlier than this. Football type games had been around for many years in Europe and in the Americas, often the rules and even the name of the game varied from school to school. In those days it was more running or kicking, looking very similar to a rugby game. But the big change came from Walter Camp, known as the Father of American Football, he helped create many rule changes to differentiate the game and create uniform system. Throughout his life he wrote books and gave lectures about the game he loved. Football became one of the most popular sports, drawing in large crowds, even Santa Claus Playing Football.
