Football season is currently underway, I guess? While some people dust off their grills and wear their team colors, those of use who are not so in tune with football simply look on with confusion. Here is what its like for those of us who don’t really know anything about football during this confusing “season”.

This isn’t soccer, right? 

not in my house

The world knows this sport as American football but in America, we call it “football”. Why? Because America, that’s why. *Insert Jimi Hendrix “Star Spangled 
Banner” guitar solo here* 

 

“The Blind Side.” Isn’t that a Sandra Bullock movie?

Yes, it is, it’s a movie based on the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless football player who becomes a professional football player and oh I’m crying now. Wow.

 

The only football player you know is Peyton Manning because of the plethora of commercials he does.

If commercials received Oscar Awards, Manning would have nine.

 

Your only experience comes from video games.

You only know about football because of the Bad Lip Sync channel on Youtube.

Endless entertainment.

 

Last year’s Superbowl was a football game that took place before and after a Beyonce concert.

Football math is weird: one touchdown = six points, because why exactly!?

And field goals are three points? I wish I paid attention in elementary math… and elementary P.E.


NFL? Is that like the Nerf dart tag football that hit me in the face as a child?

*Shivers* I still get flashbacks.

 

Well Broncos, good luck keeping up with the football season. And good luck with your team!
