When your friend invites you to play some football on his console but you see him launching Madden instead of Fifa so you quickly go to the bathroom and watch this video

[denslow]

As an American I feel like this guy some how understands the rules better than some of the refs

[PopLadd]

This video really helps a ton. Before watching this, there were literally only two things I knew about American football (and this is no exaggeration);
A. You have to get the ball to the opposite side of the field
B. There's a kind of player called a quarterback
That's it.

The only reason I'm watching this is so that I can understand what my dad is talking about when he yells at the tv.

When a Brit explains Football better than every American video I've watched so far lol

I'm European (Sweden), and i have just discovered this awesome sport! Can't wait for the NFL, 14 weeks now until my first season as a fan!!

Why am I watching this when I'm from New Zealand and have to study for a biology exam

American football is like a war-gaming. The strategy and preparation is unlike any other game. It’s not my favorite game (basketball) but I think it’s the best game.

As a Mexican that now lives in the USA, I never knew the rules of Football since Mexico is nothing but Soccer and Boxing. Thank you for this informative video, I can now enjoy the games when Im hanging out with my friends at SuperBowl parties...I was usually just there for the food LOL

Growing up in Nigeria, I was always intrigued by american football and it's cliches everytime I saw clips of it on US media like cartoons and movies; the helmets and pads that made the players look like medieval warriors, the use of black painting on their checks, the tackling and shoving, it all looked cool. Sadly because I grew up in a place were no one around me know or cared about it enough to teach me how the sport works, I just stook to football(soccer). This made it difficult to watch it without losing interest so quickly.

Thankfully, ever since I came to the UK 10yrs ago, the suprisingly rising interest in the sport in britain & the access to learn sources like this video made me want to give it one more try. So thanks Ninh:).

It feels odd being taught American football by an a British person. Hahaha Thanks! :)

as a massive rugby LEAGUE fan I can now finally appreciate the 4 down system after having it explained properly, now I'm about to embark on my first season of watching the NFL, great video mate cheers

Me over the years:

2009-17 - Struggling to understand the game
2018-19 - Struggling to understand why officiating has gone so bad

[romiarkan]

What I like about this sport is that the referees announce the infractions, replay reviews, and the resulting decisions to us. It helps in learning the rules.

[intermezzono]

Thanks a lot for this. I have been watching the Superbowl for about 5 years now, because it's a nice change from constant soccer in Germany. A while ago I thought it's lame to just watch the final and now I'm watching all the games that are aired here, trying to understand the rules even better. I think it's an absolutely interesting sport. I understand all the passion the Americans have for this. Thanks :)

Texan here. Football fan for all my life. One of my favorite things about football is how quite literally every game counts. It's not like basketball or baseball in the sense that dozens of games are played and many are inconsequential. There are only 16 games in a season so there's no room for error. The stakes are way higher than in other sports and that makes for great entertainment.

Translation for almost the rest of the world who uses metric: A Yard is 0, 9144 meters.

[JRFrancisco]

Besides the rules, there is also strategy based on score, time remaining, field position, and team strengths or weaknesses. Once you get it, it's great entertainment.
