YOU'RE AMAZING. I also LOL'd when you said, "this is where you get out of your seat and shout at the official that your team did not do that".

Me and my girlfriend watched this while we walked through target. She’s trying to learn the game so she can watch it with me instead of just being with me while I watch it. Thank you so much for the help.

You certainly know the art of teaching. This very basic beginning lesson was exactly what I needed. I have read so much on how to learn football but everything I have read seemed to assume one knew the terminology of all the components of the game.  Thank you for breaking in down for a beginner.  You are a wonderful teacher!

[missmikequinn]

Please do more videos. This is the clearest explanation I've seen. This was excellent

[october]

Thank you for this overview. I've always tried to ask so many questions while watching the game not realizing how annoying this can be. Thanks for your vid. Looking forward to the offense vid.

[gjswinney]

Although not a beginner, this was extremely informative; it filled in where I've had lots of questions with no one to ask. You are a fabulous teacher and I thank you for putting this together!

My husband has been trying his hardest to teach me football, and it would never click. Watching this, everything makes sense! Thank you!

[kennethlaufer]

I am a guy, , , a musician, who did not know a thing about football. I just read some library books about it, but it still was not that clear. You made it clear. Thank you!

[heatherstewartshore]

Love your video! Very helpful. This helped me put the pieces together and understand more about football. Have you made another video explaining more? Please do! Thanks!!

[rebeccacurrier]

I already knew some football stuff but this video still really helped!! Thanks!!

[WITHCOACHERIC]

EXCELLENT VIDEO MY UK SISTER... Great Content. Simple and Easy...Way to go!!!

[lindarogoff]

You did a great job. I now feel I can watch with some knowledge and understanding !

[aquasunpiscesmoon]

I know ZERO about fb, but my boyfriend is a fanatic and won't take me to a game unless I learn about it first so I won't ask questions 😂 I've watched a couple of other videos and was left with more questions than answers lol You did great job! Not only are you a good teacher, but I feel you know the things women will have questions about. Thank you ☺️

[msangel]

I learned so much. I mean some of it was basics I already knew, like offense/defense/quarterback and the points but I now understand what the other positions are and their roles! Thank you. :)

This was absolutely great. I’ve been trying to learn and there’s so many different guides but you hit it on the nail and did it in a friendly woman way is only as women could appreciate. Great teaching. I’m taking notes.

[katrinascobie]

Can I just say thank you for making this video. I do like how it made from a women point of view teaching other young and older women that never understand football until they have a guy in there life that love football. You want to understand the game to support your guy. Thanks you so much I’m studying your video to impress my guy and going to watch my first football game with this on tv, then once I’m aware I’ll go to a game

[nakawabuccaneers]

I love the passion and commitment to educate and promote football like Abbie does.

[willicycle]

[J-bates-]
