Overwhelming Commercial value—NFL,

2. NFL owned most –watched TV programs viewers.
American’s tradition on watching football games
1. Friday night for High School games
2. Saturday night for College Games (NCAA)
3. Sunday night for Professional Games (NFL)
Fun in Watching NFL:
1. Unpredictable, during the game, yard-gaining between two sides are the most breathtaking moments because you just can’t predict when or which team will win at the last minute.
2. Superbowl half-time Show, considered a splendid show in America, the superstars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson once performed in the show.
3. Some Football Player made celebrating dance soon after touchdown.
4. In daily conversation, NFL becomes a welcomed topic to avoid religion or politics forbidden ones.
5. NFL Tickets are regarded as status and richness symbols due to its astonishing price and rarity. Sometimes you are not able to get the ticket even you are rich enough. Because it is so POPULAR.
Rules of American Football
It is a game for all shapes and sizes that requires both mental and physical skills.
1. American football is being played on a 100-yard field by two teams of 11 players at the same time, totally 53 players in each side divided into squads of offensive, defensive and special team units.
2. The aim of the game is to move the ball into the opponent’s endzone to get a touchdown (6 points).
3. Extra point can be achieved by Quarterback passing the ball to Receiver in the air or by running back rush to move the ball forward.
4. In every four plays (downs), the offense must move the ball 10 yards forward to keep possession of the ball and earn another four (downs) in order to drive down to the opponent’s endzone.
5. If the defense prevent that making 10 yards. The offense team must punt the ball to give possession to the opponent or if close enough to endzone they would kick the ball into the gate (3 points).
6. After playing four 15-minute quarters, the team at most points wins the game.
