Football is one of the most popular sports in the US. 36 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.

In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team’s goal line to score. The quarterback(四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team’s players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 37

The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League(NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 38 For example, millions of toilets are flushed(冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.

Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 39 They dress themselves in their team’s colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 40 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers.
