Yeah it's purely economics. The ball doesn't even have to bounce (like a basketball does - the next cheapest sport). It doesn't even have to be a ball... empty pop can will do. I remember pre-4th grade we'd play soccer using makeshift balls if nobody had a ball.
I watched football this year and it's not bad. Like somebody said, it's just a slower paced version of hockey.
