Football is one of those sports that have to deal with injuries on a daily basis. Football as a sport is highly praised in the United States. People truly love not only playing the game but also watching the college players and the professionals. The game of football first originated on November 6, 1869. It was actually two universities—Rutgers and Princeton—that made up the first college football game. The first NFL game was played on December 18, 1932. Football has clearly been around for a really long time and there seems to be no sign of the sport slowing down.

While Walter Camp, the father of American football we all know and love today was established. Before the 19th century “football” referred to many number of games played on foot. Each one of these games had different rules; same were played solely using your hands and were a running game. Yet others forbid the use of the hands and were kicking games. Many football historians place the games beginning in rugby which began in 1823, due to its many similarities. One of the legends is that football was invented when Englishmen playing rugby grew tired of not being able to use their hands, so they picked up the ball and ran. Then in an endeavor to enforce the rules another player tackled the man who picked up the ball. Although we didn’t aren’t sure if this is true we do know that a variation of English rugby was taking off in Canada which later became Canadian football. This is important because it had a huge influence on developing American football (Saperecom).

The author sets the stage of his article by talking about the upcoming Super Bowl. He uses distinct adjectives to create imagery that in turn sets the mood for the rest of the writing. Keating goes on to describe how America is the only country to play football and tells that only the best two teams out of thirty-two play in this Super Bowl for the title of “world champion” (1). Football is described as played on a ninety-one meter field involving “two large teams of large men wearing large amounts of protective padding ...while their opponents attempt to knock them to the ground with maximum force” (Keating 1). While the actual playing time is only about eleven minutes, the game usually lasts as long as three hours. It is usually taken up by many advertising commercials and replays. The author explains that the players begin playing at an early age and work their way up. Women are only seen as cheerleaders and dancers in this masculine dominated sport. In his conclusion, Keating demonstrates how businesses get involved by spending millions of dollars in their hopes to show their latest brands.

This year we experienced, according to many, the greatest comeback in sports history. The New England Patriots came back from being down 28-3 to end up winning the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons. The NFL has had many crazy games, but where did it all begin? The NFL, founded in 1920, has morphed greatly since the origin, and has immensely impacted the world of sports.

Since the formation of the NFL, numerous football leagues have attempted to compete for control over the professional football market. The National Football League has successfully been able to eliminate their rivals from the market. In 1926, the American Football League (1st AFL) merged called it quits after not making enough profits. In 1937, the American Football League (2nd AFL) stopped its league after having reached limited audiences. In 1942, the American Football League (3rd AFL) permanently discontinued their league due to the toll of World War II. In 1947, the World Football League (WFL) ceased to exist because of being in a smaller market and not having enough money. In 1949, the All-American Football Conference (AAFC) became incapable of maintaining its league as a result of the direct competition it faced from the NFL. During this time period, professional football had a relatively small market. The minimal number of attendees, as well as financial problems, caused the AAFC to merge with the NFL. The All-American Football Conference willingly handed over the Cleveland Browns, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Indianapolis Colts (formerly the Baltimore Colts) to the National Football League. In 1970, the All American Football League (final AFL) and the National

American Football is a huge spectator sport where offensive and defensive players will use teamwork and perseverance to try and score more points than their opponent. Football is highly respected in America, where boys will try and pursue the dream of playing in the NFL (National Football Association) someday; but if you look at an average neighborhood, you will find that kids and adults of all ages love to go out and throw around the pigskin. (Lerner and Lerner 275). One thing Americans will take pride in is the college and NFL football teams they root for. People sit down with a beer and talk hours upon hours of football and two individuals can get in a heated discussion in the local sports store of whose sports team is better.

American Football was voted the most popular sport in America by 20% over baseball(ESPN Harris Poll). The NFL today has tv ratings off the charts, breaking records every Super Bowl(Coming Soon.com). But what started out as an American staple, actually was a mix of different sports. The first “football” game was actually just an altered soccer game between Rutgers and Princeton, but no one would realize the revolution it would bring to America. It then evolved with the help of rugby. Twenty years later the NFL was born and football went from a simple college game to a professional sport. The NFL today began as a simple concept which blossomed into an American tradition.

This game symbolized the start of changing times in the US and would eventually start a fervor in the US that would bring to the table many unforetold modifications to not only the sport in and of itself, but also the culture around it and how it was looked upon and accepted. One of the first progressive altercations that football brought to the table was women bringing and having a heavy influence in the sport. Even when compared to the other biggest American sporting event baseball, football had a much bigger focus on the numbers of women in the stands thus allowing football to be able to bring to the table something that not many other sports, toughness with sexuality at the same time. Now a rough and tough “manly” game did not have to be only for the male but could also serve other purposes such as a date or a social get together where no one would ever get bored due to the fast pace of the game along with the never before seen mixture of both men and women all in one giant stadium. This sexuality helped ring in the age of women being looked at as more so objects of sex as well as helping to bring sports onto a sort of plain on which anyone could go and see and have a team to root for instead of them simply catering to men of respectable

1. Without a doubt the best play of the game would be Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller's sack of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton that forced a fumble. The fumble was recovered for a touchdown, and was really the first (and one of the few) impact play of the game. Miller went on to win MVP and his team the Super Bowl, and this clutch play early on in the game definitely had some influence on both those things. It also set the defensive tone of the game. However, I think the best play of the Super Bowl in general would have to be the infant's quick moves out of the womb in the Doritos commercial. That baby had, arguably, more speed than Miller when he got around the Panthers's offensive line to make the sack, and the newborn deserves
