A Little About Football American Football is referred to football in the United States and Canada, also known as gridion elsewhere. It is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The offense, the team with control of the oval-shaped football, attempts to advance down the field by running with or passing the ball, while the team without control of the ball, the defense, aims to stop their advance and take control of the ball for themselves. The offense must advance at least ten yards in four downs, or else they turn over the football to the opposing team.

When It Started On November 6, 1869, players from Princeton and Rutgers held the first intercollegiate football contest in New Brunswick, New Jersey, playing a soccer-style game.

With rules adapted from the London Football Association. Also Barry Sanders runs a 4.37 in the 40- Yard Dash The oldest football team is the Bear and the Cardinals.
