Welcome to SpanishDict! Could you be a little more specific though? Do you want to know what football is in Spanish? Or what an actual football is? Or something else.....? - hlsbookworm, Jan 20, 2010

No, he is refering to the case that the president of the USA carries with him every where he goes. In that case there is a phone that will activate the beggining of a nuclear attack. This case is called the football - I don't know why.

The Nuclear Football (also called the Atomic Football, President's Emergency Satchel, The Button, The Red Button, The Black Box, or just The Football) is a black briefcase meant to be used by the President of the United States of America to authorize a nuclear attack while away from fixed command centers, such as the White House Situation Room. It functions as a mobile hub in the strategic defense system of the United States.

Words are very important

If you had say, what is football, then. Izanoni1's answer would be correct because you are asking for the description ot a game called football. But,no., you asked what is the football, so that makes my answer correct.

Hi Nicat and welcome to the forum.

I am assuming that you are referring to the ball that is used to play the American brand of football (as opposed to soccer)

football - el balón de fútbol americano

Just for future reference, you can find this information fairly easily were you to type the word "football" into the dictionary on this site. Here is a link to the page that you would get. football

Hope this was helpful. See you around the forum grin
