Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback

The problem with this line of argument is that basketball would also be football, as would baseball, cricket, hockey, and even cycling.

    You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be "ball-less tech polo" or something like that 🤷🏻

    We sometimes call bicycles "wire donkeys"

    Counterargument. I've never seen cycling done on horseback. Therfore it is football.

    Unless we classify a bike as a mechanical horse. Then we have mountain horsing, road horsing. Trick horsing. And all the velodrome horsing events.

    I've never seen it done on foot or with a ball either, though.

    Two-wheel chasies?

    Or as a compromise, Wheelhorsing around?
