In elementary school, my mom brought me to my first Ole Miss soccer game. As the players warmed up, Hannah Weatherly, an All-American forward, inspected the Mississippi State players like a spider stalking its prey. As the referee’s lips touched the whistle to start the game, the players hustled as if their lives depended on it. Throughout the game, shots were fired; penalties were taken, and tackles were made. The fans throughout the game boasted, “Hotty Toddy!”…

The game of football has evolved in many ways, from hitting to the play clocks to turf and grass fields. The play clocks have changed because they were 45 seconds but now they are 40 seconds, usually by the time the referee sets the ball down they have about 25 seconds to snap the ball or it is a delay of game, and that is a 5 yard penalty. Hitting percussions are a big part of football, if you hit someone in the wrong way you can badly injure your opponent. Referees are very strict if you hit the quarterback below the waste, it is a personal foul. Also, if you go head to head with the ball carrier it is a personal foul and usually results in a concussion for one of the two players.…

Being lucky, another student answers saying “m is slope”.…
The sport we in the United States know as football is more so called gridiron football, for the vertical yard lines that mark the field. Closely related to some English sports, rugby and soccer gridiron football originated at collages in North America, primarily the United States, in the late 19th century. On November 6 1869, the players from Princeton and Rutgers held the first intercollegiate football contest in New Brunswick, New Jersey, playing a soccer style game with rules adapted from the London Football Association. While a number of other elite Northeastern colleges took up the sport in the 1870s, Harvard University maintained its distance by sticking to a rugby soccer hybrid called the “Boston Game. In May in 1874, there was a match…
Football is an American tradition. Many people from all over the country gather in one stadium, or even to a couch, to support their favorite team. But football hasn’t always been what it is now. In December of 1905, a lot was changed due to safety reasons. Eighteen people died that year because of football, most of them being only High school athletes.…
Poetry allows for writing to reveal transitional work and in this case the transitory connection between internal conflict and the will to grow. Louis Jenkins’s “Football” serves as a model for this effort. While the poem is about football and difficult choices, it disguises as the internal battles of the speaker as well. A notable take is how Jenkins guides the readers’ attention to the speaker and his confusing decisions he presents as a quarterback. Jenkins has the readers unknowingly focus in on the speaker himself and these odd comparisons and disconnecting ideas within his words.…
The clock starts counting down from forty minutes. The soccer game between the Southern Boone Eagles and Boonville Pirates has finally started. The Pirates start with the ball, and they dribble down the field past the Eagle’s offense. The Pirate’s attacker arrives at the feet of the Southern Boone’s defenders; the first defender gets beat; the second forces the ball away from the goal, and at last the third defender wins the ball and kicks it to their offense. Players and fans alike find it easy to tell which defenders are the diver, the pressurer, and the ball-winner.…
Through Rugby I became the person I am today. Some students have interests or hobbies that define them, and for me that has always been Rugby. As a young boy my Father told me many stories of his rugby days in college, he showed up at college not knowing anyone, and someone asked him to come out and play rugby. He didn’t know anything about rugby, but he had some great adventures with his team, and made friends he still has today. Being a boy who loved to hear these stories, and wanted to make my own, I asked my Father if we could start a rugby team.…
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team currently belongs to the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC. In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were the oldest team to never win a league championship, the Steelers of the post-merger (modern) era are one of the most successful NFL franchises.…

The dangers of tackle football for children Children, ages fourteen and younger, are developing mentally and physically and therefore should not play tackle football because of its negative impact. The risk of children getting injured can be harmful and detrimental to their health. Football at the youth level is the greatest challenge by far. “Children are among the most vulnerable to injury because they have weak necks and immature musculature, and their brains are still developing” (Cantu & Hyman, p.29). According to an article from The New York Times, “the age of twelve was chosen as a benchmark because it is roughly the point by which brains in young boys are thought to have already undergone key periods of development” (Belson, 2015).…
