Though they are often referred to as pigskin, footballs have been made of cow leather for over half a century.
The material is but it's textured to feel like pigskin
It's not. It's just textured like cowhide, because it's cowhide. They don't add texture to them.
That's just not true, I don't know why you would think it is. Have you never owned something that was made out of full grain leather before?
