What is the difference between football and basketball?

According to the articles ''Library Journal'' Basketball and football are the most popular sports in America. However, there are still some differences between both sports. People who are learning basketball moves like crossovers and shooting have to spend a great amount of time dribbling or watch some videos to learn the move from looking. People who like football has to practice how to throw, catch and tackle(Library Journal). Basketball is not as physical as football. The basketball players are trying not to hurt or make other people injured. Football is different. Not that they want to make them injured but they have to tackle their rivals and make them stop from running. Other than that, football focus on how strong you are and how fast you can run toward the line. Basketball also focuses on physical parts but more on the skills of dribbling and shooting. The regulations of basketball and football are somewhat different but overall, they both attract the most audiences.
