Why We Love Football

Why We Love Football

It’s the most fun, most competitive, team-oriented sport in the earth. We would do anything to win a game. Ladies love us guys want to be us. Everybody loves the game, people are always playing it, it is the soul of the universe. When you put on the pads, lace up the spikes, and buckle your helmet you walk onto the field and nothing else matters. You will forget if you failed a test, fought with a friend, or lost some money…. Because for the next few hours your day will be perfect. Here’s to touchdowns, field goals, extra points, fumbles, dropped passes, amazing catches, monster hits, interceptions, overtimes, come from behind wins, close games, broken bones, warm days, cold afternoons, rivalries, pick-up games, gallons of Gatorade, endless hours of practice, coaches, teammates, friends, let downs, miracles, but most of all the game, Football, Why? Why do we run back and forth day after day? Hitting and running so hard we ache everywhere. Pushing it so hard we listen to our hearts beat rings in our head, while our lungs desperately gasp for air. Early mornings, late nights, Saturdays and Sundays, endless mistakes, deep bruises, broken bones, and torn muscles and ligaments. We hustle thru it all. Because we live off our adrenaline, because the game frees your soul, because the party after the big win is spectacular, because you are invincible once you step onto the field. A big play could make you smile all day long. The rattling of the crowd, the feel of the ball, the image of the spikes in the dirt, it’s a glory to live by. Because it is possible to hustle hard enough you can leave your worries behind. Sweat is the cologne of our accomplishments, Why? Why should anyone push themselves so hard? Its not for the money, it’s not for the girls, its not for bragging rights, and its not for the fame. We do it because we love it.
