footballs
Punters kick these
Footballs is the plural of football—the inflated ball used in various sports, or the sports themselves.
In American English, a football is the pointed oval used in gridiron football; in British English, it's the round ball used in soccer.
We need more footballs for practice.
The nuclear football, a briefcase carried near the U.S. president containing launch codes, takes its name from the ball's shape.
