A football has a curved surface and polygons are flat. You can approximate a curved surface quite well if you use enough polygons but each polygon will still be flat and a football does have a curved (and rough) surface. Using a few thousand polygons you can create an approximation of a football with stitching seams and every detail but you will not have a curved surface you will have an approximation of a curved surface.

Because a football is a three dimensional object whereas polygons are two dimensional shapes.
Which shape is a polygon?
A polygon is any closed shape with five sides

Why the shape of a football is not a polygon?
A football isn't a polygon because it has 2 sides curved which makes it an oval.A polygon doesn't have a curved side(s)
Why isn't the shape of a football a polygon?
It doesn't have any straight lines
Is the shape of the football polygon?
No because a polygon is a plane figure. A football is a bit like a polyhedron, but all the faces of a polyhedron must be flat and, because of inflation, those of a football are not.
Why the shape of a football not a polygon?
Because the edges are not curved so if you were to draw it it should go straight

Because a football is a three dimensional object whereas polygons are two dimensional shapes.
What is the definition of non-polygon?
A non polygon is a shape that doesn't meet the requierments to be a polygon. In order to be a polygon, a shape must have no curved lines and must be a closed shape.
