    How you acquire a football: spend $$$ in store.

    How you acquire a rock and stick: walk around for a bit.

      That is ridiculous, you play football with empty soda can until your neighbour find an old ball lost on some wasteland and you play that until you older brother pities you and offers you his old ball or until you get into a club and your parent don't want to be ashamed by your rubbish ball.

          No I've since realised a flaw which makes me right once again. Rock and stick throwing isn't a game with points, its just fun, so it's disqualified from the discussion.

              I mean you can make a game out of it, but it isn't a universally agreed upon ruleset. Rock and stick throwing is play, it's fun, it's not bound by rules. You can make some up, but that's just for your group. It won't translate to other groups.

              English kinda sucks in that the word "game" both describes games and just regular child's play.

                  Depends on the thing you're throwing them at. River under a bridge? Whichever stick comes out the other side first.
                  Can? No DQ.
                  Each other? Whoever gets the least hurt.
