He sited his source. I wouldn't debunk History channel just cause they relay the correct information.

The FOOTBAL in Sportrance on the right wall didnt allowed me to pick it up whyever... The pickup button seriously dint showed up. If thats the case for others you can find a FOOTBAL at the doors to ROYAL FLUSH PLAZA (outside on the gras behind a tree). And you dont Need kills... Its enough to hit Zombies.

Plates can be found in Antoine's on the 2nd floor of Royal Flush Plaza, if you want to skip a zone.

Use the Weapons Checklist below to keep track of the ranged weapons you've used. Note that you don't have to kill the zombie, just hit them. Apparently hits on gas zombies do not count for the weapons trophies, so make sure to hit a normal zombie.
