Question: In what year was Nerf football first played?

Show answer

1972.

The Nerf football was first introduced by the Parker Brothers in 1972. The “Nerf” brand itself was created in 1969, with the first product being a four-inch polyurethane foam ball. This original product was marketed as “the world’s first official indoor ball”, indicating that it wouldn’t break lamps or windows, or hurt babies or old people. The introduction of the Nerf football a few years later was a significant extension of the brand.
