Football for People Who Don't Know the Game |
|
 All my friends seem to know a lot about football. I'm an
American male in my mid-thirties, and I know almost nothing about
the game, and what I have learned, I've picked up what I do know
playing Madden on my X-box. But I'd like to understand football; in
fact, I'd even like to understand the game well enough to be a fan.
So I asked my football fan friends to put together some beginner
tutorial type stuff about the game of football so I could learn
while publishing a website about the subject too.Some VERY Basic Information About FootballFootball in the USA is a competitive team sport that is considered probably the most popular sport in existence. The object of the game is to score points by advancing the football to one end of the field. Football is sometimes used to refer to soccer in other countries, but American football is usually referred to as gridiron football in order to differentiate it. American football is almost exclusively played by men and boys. About UsThis site is about the game of football in America, and it's written for the novice. If you know a lot about football already, then this might not be the right place to learn more about it, since it was written with the beginner in mind. But my buddies who've assembled this content know their stuff and regularly win fantasy football competitions, so I've got a lot of faith in their ability to explain things that even an old football fan might find useful.
