This I Believe...

Growing up, every Sunday I would go over to my dad's house. Sunday at his house during football season was “Football Sunday.” There was not one Sunday that my dad let me watch my Disney shows, but I didn’t exactly complain either. Watching football with my dad, use to be one of my favorite things. He would explain what was going on if I was lost. We would get junk food and order pizza. I knew when the game was on, not to talk, just cheer and when a bad call was on, to yell at the television.

When football season is on, football is everywhere. The scores are posted, how all the players played, and what all the players are doing outside of football. They are on the news. They are in magazines. They are posted all over

    Summary: The role of football in the United States culture, has been drastically changing over the years. Public opinion is now leaning more towards negative sentiments with trends like failing attendance at games, the decline in youth football participation, and issues surrounding head injuries suffered by players.

    In my temporary Liverpool home I am striving to write a good story, even knowing that to begin with an ‘I’ might not be a good idea to some degree. It would be a cliché to keep on talking about how great The Beatles and the football atmosphere are but, except for the experience as a typical tourist, I would be more likely to share my feelings about this city based on my daily life. Liverpool is a city with stunning views. I am impressed with the waterfront and especially obsessed with watching the sunset in Albert Dock, which is believed to be the model existence of the art docking system. I was born in Wuhan, a big city sitting alongside Yangzi River.…
