  Introduction

    Have you ever heard of footballs being referred to a pigskin?Have you ever played football well you may think that the football is leather or feels like leather.Well its really inflated pig bladders this is how footballs got there nicknames. Why did they use inflated pigskins well because it was easy to inflate and was lightweight and were fairly durable and they did this because there was hard to get rubber back then.
