Introduction to my new YouTube channel, Seven Codes of Football.

I'm a fan of football. Regardless of which sport you may think of when I use the word "football", it is likely that sport. I grew up watching American and Association Football, but later I discovered Canadian Football when my family moved north. In my 20s I finally found both codes of Rugby, Australian, and Gaelic Football. I enjoy these seven codes of football and spent years delving into the rich history of each sport. The path they took in their evolution is wild and filled with drama, but they all started as a scattering of games played by schoolboys in England.

My goal with this channel is to teach the simple basics of each sport, how to watch the games, and build further knowledge a few concepts at a time. In addition, I want to highlight the similarities between these codes and point out how common rules diverged in each sport.

Later, I plan to create videos that help teach one codes of football based on its similarities and differences with a known code. Example: A video that explains Rugby Union to an American Football fan.
