🏈 Why Football? A breakdown.

Why football? While Europe has dedicated the majority of its sports craze to the other football, the United States has taken on its own fandom of American football to the next level.

Why football? A naturally violent sport, football has allowed men, and more recently women, to express their emotions in a loosely judged way. Basically, football has allowed humans to get out their “wild side” as there has been much more domestication in the world.

So why football? For the fans, football has allowed the Average Joe to invest in something that they may not be able to do themselves. We can’t all be Ray Lewis. But we can all be Joe Schmo who watches Ray Lewis. It’s tradition, something we grew up on. The team our parents loved, and their parents loved. The team we married into. The team we have some odd connection to.

Why football? Because for some reason, even when we are stressed out of our minds watching the game, we are at peace. Despite our high blood pressure and increasing beats per minute, there’s no place we’d rather be.

Why football? Football is American. We created it, it means a little extra to us. We teach our children, our grandchildren, our sons, our daughters, our cousins, anyone we can. Everyone has an opinion on it. No matter how much they really know.

Why football? It’s art. It’s poetry in motion. It’s us.
