My question is-
Why is it "quarterback" in English anyway?

Wikipedia has the answer!
As the term "quarterback" gained acceptance in the 1930s, it originally referred to the player's position relative to other members of the offensive backfield. Before the emergence of the T-formation in the 1940s, all members of the offensive backfield were legitimate threats to run or pass the ball, and most teams used four offensive backs on every play: a quarterback, two halfbacks, and a fullback. The quarterback began each play a quarter of the way back, the halfbacks began each play side by side and halfway back, and the fullback began each play the farthest back. Now that most offensive formations have only one or two running backs, the original designations don't mean as much, as the fullback is now usually a lead blocker (technically a halfback), while the halfback or tailback (called such because he stands at the "tail" of the I) lines up behind the fullback.
This was an exercise to show that some english words don't have an equivalent in Spanish...
One of those is the word Quarterback .
Why would it be included in the Spanish language? They don't care about American football!
Just like Americans don't care about football/soccer.

Crazy, I don't believe it was a question but it's one I would not attempt to translate myself.
