Are You Ready For Some Football?

"He-could-go-all-the-way, touchdown!" The commentators shout into their microphone. Football is a favorite sport of Americans due to the skill, and agility, and strength you need yo succeed in order to play the sport. Professional football is currently the number one American sport.
Most Americans tend to watch football more than they take part in it. This may be because football is a dangerous sport. You can be easily and badly injured while playing. But fans still show their support by displaying their team's logo on their personal belongings and attending games. Football is played by both men and women (but in different leagues) during a seventeen week period, and takes place in a stadium. Football is played by eleven people (on the field), who try and get the football into the endzone on the other side of the field. When they do it is called a touchdown. A touchdown is worth seven points. Also they can kick the football into the a large almost U shaped goal that towers above the field called a field goal. And these can be worth either three or one, depending on the situation.
Football is a great sport to watch and take part in. It excites you, and makes you jump and down and shout, whether with frustration or with joy. Americans enjoy watching rough and competetive sports. So if your looking for an American sport that will surely ignite your entertainment, professional football is the way to go.
