This class is for students who don't know or understand the game of football but are eager to learn the basics so they can discuss the topic with friends or family and not feel left out. In this one-time, 45min class, students will learn the basics of American (NFL, National Football League) football. We will review the basic format of the sport; how scoring works; the general rules of the game; review of common football terminology; understanding the league & team structures of the NFL; and we will review the teams in each division and conference and their general standings each season. There will be an original slide show presentation but much of the time will be spent answering questions of the football-curious students.
