"These days, footballs are typically made from cowhide or vulcanized rubber, making their nickname "pigskins" somewhat ironic. Football fans often perpetuate the idea that footballs used to be made of pigskin, which is how they got their nickname, but it turns out this isn't the case."

Turns out, they never have been pigskin.

OH NO! We've been lied to all along? We should all protest.. Well, maybe not seeing how I don't really care all that much..
I do remember as a kid thinking, "So THAT'S what a pig's skin looks like." and then a few friends and I actually rustled a pig whilst good a drunk and got away with it.. I hate to think what might have happened to us had we been caught.
Don't worry.. I've long given up on my criminal ways.
