    Chuck would have been 60 in 1869 when Princeton and Rutgers played the first American Football game, for him to both know what a punt was, and traveled back to the Galapagos Islands at such an advanced age to kick animals, while possible, is highly unlikely

      I suspect the ever bastardly act of animal kicking predates Football by a good margin.

      That said, there is no evidence that Darwin was an avid animal kicker, though he did have a passion for hunting.

      Charles Darwin experienced every moment of his life, past, present, and future, simultaneously. This is how he discovered evolution and knew what punting was.
