American Football
For men and women, children and older adults, sports have always been a large part of life; sports have even entertained and given hope to people for many years. The power of sports in society is sometimes overlooked by people. For example, sports are so important the wars have literally been stopped so that the Olympics could continue as usual. Sports have the power to unite an entire world and their power and entertainment value is therefore invaluable and limitless. People often say that sometimes silence is more powerful than words and a picture worth a thousand. It is no great wonder then, that American football is an all time favorite sport that is recognized and loyally followed all around the world.
American football allows people the opportunity to feel like they are a part of something greater than themselves. Watching a great game can feel like one is a part of the players’ triumphs and struggles. Onlookers watch their favorites players make mistakes and cry in triumph when they score. Together the crowds watch every move and feel invigorated by the experience. In many ways, American football is a live drama that is unfolding before viewers’ eyes.
