Where to start may be the question, since most of you readers have all ready heard of american football, or better yet the NFL. I guess I´ll begin letting you know some facts that most of you fans aren´t aware of. Football probablly has its ruits in the ancient Greek, with a game called Harpaston. This game consisted in moving a ball a cross a goal line, being allowed to kick, pass, or run with the ball.
Another fact that you fans problably do not know is that Football as we know it originated in England, where it got to be so popular that figures such as Edward II and Henry VI forbided the game because they said that the military sport of archery was losing atention. After a couple of centuries this game had divided in two different sports. Both sports are still played until this day, and I´m talking about Rugby and Soccer.
And here the last fact I´ll leave you today, American Football is a type of fusion between rugby and soccer all though soccer is still known in various parts of the world as football.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will be talking about some of the most popular teams, and players on my next blog.
