    It is only called Mexican football in the U.S. because ignorant people decided to call a game, which is mostly played with hands, football.

    Yo. We call it Mexican Football because we are talking about it in Mexico. If we were in Spain or France, then we would call it Spanish or French Football. It's just a matter of taste.
