What's so thrilling about American football? It's not just a game; it's an experience. Unlike soccer, professional American football teams are exclusively from the U.S. and the sport itself is a spectacle. We have professional, college, and high school football, and even young kids have opportunities to play. There is a shared excitement among fans, whether watching a game in the stadium or at home. It's not about the differences between players and fans but the shared thrill of the game that unites us all.

My family includes fans of the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Miami Dolphins. We also love college football. I am a Clemson Tigers fan, my son-in-law is a Florida State Seminoles fan, my husband is a Syracuse Oranges fan, and my daughter is a University of Florida Gators fan. Our weekends come alive during football season, which we look forward to yearly!
