Football

Football, it is named to be America’s number one sport. People all around the world travel to these stadiums to watch two teams go against each other and score more points to win. People even bet tons of money on which teams gonna win and some people lose a lot. Now what is it about football that gets people to be so into it?

It’s the same reason people watch golf or tennis and any other sports, it’s because they’re passionate about it. It’s the drama, the suspense of not knowing what is gonna happen next. The teams can be two points a away and win or be behind by twenty points and make a huge comeback that no one would of expected. When your own personal favorite team wins it gives you a high that can carry on throughout your week. Not like a drug high but an emotional enlightening high. There are thirty-two pro football teams in America and everyone that enjoys football has a favorite that they lots of times, place bets on some small some big. Over 100 million people watch the Superbowl and that just goes to show you how many people actually love football. There is 325.7 million people in america so that means almost a third of america’s population watch the Superbowl. It is insane how many people watch the same thing at the same time. But in the recent years the amount of people that watch football have decreased a lot. Why has it been decreasing? Well like I said football is america’s sport and some football players have started to kneel during the national anthem disgracing the flag and the country. This is a major red flag and lots of the people who watched football don’t anymore because they cant get themselves to watch people disgrace their beloved country. The ratings since 2015 have dropped around fifteen percent which is a lot of people. Is football gonna fade and lose its place as america’s favorite sport?
