This Boston Terrier Literally Redesigned American Football
Ever wonder why footballs are shaped like that? 🏈
The answer involves a very picky Boston Terrier named Touchdown and his toy preferences! In 1906, while Walter Camp (the “Father of American Football”) was struggling to fix the game’s biggest problem, his dog accidentally solved it by being incredibly stubborn about what toys he’d play with.
From round rugby balls to the perfect oval design – this is the (totally untrue) story behind the football shape that changed sports forever!
This is just one satirical story from our Fur Real Files series, where we uncover the pets who secretly shaped history. You won’t believe what other animals have been hiding in plain sight! #shorts
