Kicking of the ball is legal in Canadian ball, it's still keeping traits from its rugby origins.

Yes Gridiron came from rugby, check college football history and you can see they changed like 280-300 years ago or something That's about as much I know about this =/

American Gridiron was based lightly off of mob football, and has a history fairly independent of Rugby. Rugby is the same as Gridiron in that it didn't take too much influence from the opposite sport, but it did however relate itself with Association Football and Mob Football more than the aforementioned Gridiron. Canadian Gridiron is special in that it is American Gridiron with a much more distinct Rugby influence(such as the kicking rule explained by Terrell and Trowa). I came to this conclusion after a quick set of Google searches, though I may be wrong.

I didn't know about the kicking rule though; that seems very useful at times.

Did you just dog my Chiefs? ? Never would I ever do that I was born and raised in KC. Just pointing out a point where the rule has failed to be implemented on the pro level. I know more about the Chiefs than is probably healthy for someone to know. Probably true, I love the Chiefs, but my attention has waned, basketball is bigger to me now. I named my first born kid after a basketball player, the second one too (sort of).
