Football (soccer) isn't called football because you kick the ball with your foot, in fact the first code of football created in the 13th century was more similar to rugby where kicking the ball was prohibited.

Instead, football is called such because it was a game played by men (mostly plebs) on foot, as opposed to the other sports played at the time by the aristocracy and played on horseback.
