Kicking the ball is still a vital part of the game in both codes of rugby, Aussie Rules football and Gaelic football. Less so in gridiron, but it's there too. That's why they can be called football in their respective cultures. Sure, they use their hands to pass, but saying their not football as well more or less gives me the right to call soccer "footheadchestball"

Actually a good idea since league and gridiron aren't that different from one another.
