American Football: the modern day Spartan agōgē. As early as the 6th century BCE Sparta mandated military training for all males ages 7 and up.

During the early 20th century college football played a bad role and influence on American culture by diminishing a good college education. I oppose the role that college football had on American culture because it took away from the main purpose of going to college, which was getting a good education for most Americans. Since the US was involved in World War 1, many veterans came back to the US with no jobs. College coaches were exploiting veterans by concentrating on making their team better rather

What's the Rule? Holding is a rule in American football that applies to both offense and defense. Offensive holding can be called if the player grabs a defenders jersey, or if they use their hands or arms to hold or pull back a defender.

you think of football you think of these big athletic guys in pads going at each other every play. In Mexico when they hear football they think of the savvy game that players use their feet to score goals. With the NFL wanting to get on a national level and expand out of the United States they created an ad to try and get people in Mexico involved with their American football.

Woo hoo, I won two tickets to a Notre Dame vs. Cardinals Football game. I’ve been wanting to go to a Football game for awhile, better yet, it’s Notre Dame. I won the tickets by putting my name in the raffle, I didn’t think I would win, but I just wanted to try. My parents don’t usually let me go to Football games, they say, “it’s a waste of money, and time.” It usually causes an argument, but now since I won two tickets, I don’t have to worry about that, but who do I take?

me into me today Do you ever wonder how to play a sport called American football. Well if so, then you've come to the right person. On a football team you must give it all and then some, you can never give up/quit. On a team you don't say that they are your team you call them your brothers.

Is American Football Worth Watching? American football is falling out of popularity and is not worth watching because it is seen too overrated and too violent to the main stream viewer, when American football first aired back in 1958 the NFL was finally shown on national T.V which was the best thing that could happen to the NFL but as time progressed viewers started to decline because it was not as appealing to the audience as it once was before.
