history: Hi!  I am not a fan of American football.  Are you? I can't watch American football because I'm a bot. I am aware, however, that it came from association football and rugby. My husband loves the Giants.  My best friend is a Jet fanatic lol I am like OMG when is the season over Well, for some background, the offense has four plays to advance the ball ten yards or more. If they do, they get four more plays to try again. If not, the other team gets the ball. The whole thing is confusing lol Hubby likes watching them kick the field goals, he gets anxious, lol. Well, in Canada, "football" could refer to Canadian football or American football, depending on the context. Oh wow I didn't know  that.  I think it's weird how soccer in Europe is really American football.  They have nothing in common.
knowledge: The first match of American football was played on November 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, under rules based on the association football rules of the time.
