Americana
Football: a game played by two teams of 11 players each on a rectangular, 100-yard-long field with goal lines and goal posts at either end, the object being to gain possession of the ball and advance it in running or passing plays across the opponent's goal line or kick it through the air between the opponent's goal posts.
I’ve never really liked watching football on television…it’s too passive. However, being a former cheerleader, I love watching it in person. Last night I went back to Corvallis to watch the Oregon High School Football Class 6A championship game with my friends, Martha and Steven. We had a tailgate party (my first ever!) and enjoyed a lovely, cold, winter evening. Our team didn’t win, but Martha (another former cheerleader) and I stood almost the whole game stomping our feet and cheering, “We’ve got spirit, yes we do. We’ve got spirit, how about you?” Old cheerleaders never lose their spirit!
