how to play football american

American football, also known as "grid soccer" or simply "grid soccer" in the United States and Canada, is a sport played by two teams of 11 on a rectangular field with goalposts at both ends. The attacking team, which controls the oval shaped football, attempts to advance by dribbling or passing the ball, while the defending team, which does not control the ball, aims to stop their advance and control the ball for themselves. The attacking team must advance at least ten yards forward in four attacks or matches, otherwise they will hand over the football to the opposing team; If they succeed, they will receive a new set of four failures. Scoring is mainly achieved by pushing the ball into the opponent's finish line for a touchdown, or by kicking the ball over the opponent's goalpost for a shot. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins. American football originated from the joint football and rugby sports in the United States.

Personally, I think American football is a sport that is often misunderstood. I always see negative criticism instead of slightly fair evaluations. Many other sports enthusiasts often hold negative opinions about this sport. For example, "I think American football has no technical skills (compared to basketball's flashy skills), it's just violent and direct collisions, it's a barbaric and unskilled sport

Don't you actually think that American football is the same as other sports with physical risks? The so-called collision between the body and the head is a risk that you have to bear when you want to play, and isn't everyone willing to do it? For example, rock climbing and mountaineering, boxing and combat, many Olympic sports are also full of more deadly risks, such as gymnastics or diving, weightlifting, all of which may bring many sequelae, but aren't everyone willing to bear these pains and risks? Compared to those athletes who truly devote themselves wholeheartedly and are aware of their pain, those who compete on the field, those celebrities and media who are unwilling to invest but also speak sarcastically beside them, are truly contemptible.

As for the criticism from other sports enthusiasts, I think American football, like other sports that everyone loves, has no difference, no one is good or bad, and there is no meaning in comparing which sports are better and which are worse. thing. American football is just a sport that emphasizes direct physical contact, but it has very strict rules for contact, offense, and defense. It can be considered as a collective propulsion sport that incorporates some elements of combat competitions. It has complex and subtle team tactics and coordination abilities. Because there are more people participating in ball games than in other sports (11 vs. 11), and the division of labor similar to the real world (or war) can be considered as the realistic version of chess in the game.

In fact, every position has its own specialized skills and physical fitness requirements. Quarters can be considered the most demanding position in all professional sports. Running backs not only need to have fast speed, but also strong skills to break through human walls. They also have high requirements for various angles of cutting and passing. Receiver players need to be proficient in the tacit understanding with quarterbacks, the mastery of passing paths, and the confrontation skills with opposing defenders (corner guards or safety guards), in addition to height and speed. The receiving skills in American football are among the most difficult to master in all sports.

The often misunderstood frontline players, whether they are defensive or offensive, not only have huge bodies and muscles, but also need to practice various blocking or breakthrough techniques (similar to combat skills), apply their hands, be flexible in their footsteps, and be familiar with the tacit understanding and tactical application with other attacking and defensive teammates. They also need the intelligence and experience of the court to judge the opponent's dynamics. Although they are laborers on the field and seem to have no skills, they need to practice tirelessly in private, endure various attacks from the opponent's pick and roll, and not only physically and technically, but also need strong mental qualities to support the cornerstone of a game's victory or defeat.

In short, American football requires a variety of high-quality athletes, such as Olympic sprinting speed, basketball jumping ability, rugby breakthrough ability, baseball players' (pitchers) psychological resilience and pitching skills (quarterbacks), ice hockey team spirit and cooperation, European football team tactics and cooperation. In short, American football is not as vulgar and brainless as many people misunderstand. The various stories and tactics on and off the field, as well as the story of the evolution of the game, are not inferior to other professional sports at all.

The only point that is often criticized is that there are too many so-called body contacts, and many people unconsciously feel barbaric. However, I think this is due to prejudice. If you watch too many flexible and indirect movements, you will feel that directly using your body to win or lose seems to be lacking in level and vulgar. But to some extent, American football is a competitive game that incorporates combat techniques. However, this type of ball sport is not commonly seen in the world, and in many aspects, it is the only one that has American football. I think this is a relationship of perspective and mentality. People are too often psychologically stereotyped by sports such as basketball, European football, and tennis. If I really have to say it, shouldn't boxing, wrestling, and MMA (UFC) also be banned from the world?
