Do you think an object used to play rugby should be called a ball, tell me why?

Question

I anylized all the kinds of objects called balls, but rugby one and the others that are related to rugby seem to be not sharing a common factor, it's diameter value.

Answer 1

yup.  using the logic of if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck the same can be applied to the rugby ball.  It bounces like a ball (admittedly unpredictably) and it can be passed like a ball so it must be a ball.

Plus, in terms of the diameter, an basketball would be much larger than a size 5 rugby ball.  so by your logic a basketball isn't a ball either

Answer 2

Pointless question really. It's a ball because it rolls around a field with men chasing it. You can't exactly call it a rugby oval can you? It sounds stupid.

Answer 3

Are you on crack?

It is played with a ball.

Answer 4

There is defiantly something wrong with you. What a stupid question. Get a life dude. Really man, do  you have nothing else to do ? I bet you do not even watch rugby. Now go away and never ever come here again. It´s a ******* ball OK.

Answer 5

History my friend.

Originally the 'ball' was round just the same as football(due to the pigs bladder been used)

Due to the development of wanting to pass the ball more often than just kicking the ball did its shape became revised into it's modern day form. If you have a look at the websites it will tell you more.
