Want to learn how flyovers work? kzread.info/dash/bejne/nq6ipKlsZbrMYdY.html American football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The objective is to advance the ball into the opposing team's end zone by either carrying it or throwing it, scoring points in the process. Teams have four downs, or chances, to advance the ball at least 10 yards; if successful, they retain possession, otherwise, the opposing team gains possession. Defense aims to stop the offense from scoring by tackling players or intercepting passes. The game is divided into four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end wins.

Excellent video and great job of explaining American football. I'm sure it will help those who need a primer on the game.

American football was an offshoot of rugby and association football from the UK. We changed rules etc. and came up with a similar, but different game. I played both rugby and football when I was young. A player can figure out the basics of the other game pretty quickly. Aussie football is fun for me to watch - that dude in the suit cracks me up!

"Association football" or just "football", is called "soccer" in the US, Japan, and maybe a couple other countries. For some reason people worldwide think "soccer" is a funny American name to the sport of "futbol", but it's actually an English name that the Brits abandoned-- it was a slang word that abbreviated "association". "Gridiron" instead of "pitch" is all on us, though. 😅Though to be fair, I'm sure a lot of Americans said, "Why 'pitch'? The grass ain't black and sticky, and we ain't throwin' it."

Football is a game of ever increasing precision. First it was considered a game of yards. Then it was a game of feet. Now it's called a game of inches. Currently, if commentators want to exaggerate about how close a play is when they watch it on replay, they unironically call it a game of millimeters, because metric. I just hope no one tries a dropkick, or else everyone is going to be confused, and not just Ryan McBeth viewers.

As I understand it, Harvard invited McGill to play a game of football, but when the McGill team arrived the two schools realized they were using the same name for two different games. The Harvard team was expecting to play soccer, and the McGill team was expecting to play rugby. The game was played with one half of each, and American football was adapted from the weird hybrid rugby rules Harvard knew.

Yeah it is kinda like the defensive line are the offense and the offensive line are the defenders. That makes sense.

We had an American teacher in the 70s try to teach us how to play American football once, within half an hour we were punting the ball end to end. That little ball was so easy to kick.

At least Europe and America can agree on the number of players

Not a bad breakdown. I would have also mentioned the second-most important rule infraction, false starts. I was rooting for the Niners but if there was a definition of how intense and exciting a Super Bowl can be, this year's was an excellent example with such a closely scored game up until the final play.

Well i gotta say this is a pretty good description of football to someone who doesn't onow the game and kust wants to enjoy watching one or two games.

I love how the running and full backs were completely ignored. That’s the correct interpretation of modern football.

I'm in New Zealand and we love Rugby. But I remember as a kid at school that after ever superbowl we would play American football for a week before going back to Rugby. Same with Aussie rules.

Late comment but wanted to say I played ball in college and this is a great intro to american football for non-americans. Thanks for putting it together because I suck at explaining the basics of football so ill be referencing this from now on lol Only note is the offensive line generally just blocks other players but its fair to leave that out for simplicity. Also funny to see a 3-4 given as the example defense but nothing wrong with it

Well, yes, you did do a 5 minute vid on American Football. Frankly, you should have done a 50 minute vid. It really isn't possible to understand (and appreciate) American rules football in just 5 freakin' minutes. Way too much tactics, strategy, brute blunt force vs finesse, position vs position (receivers vs D backs, etc.). Oh, and then there's the Offense deceiving the opposing defense. Or... the Defense deceiving the Offense. It gets real complicated. We Americans like taking that which is simple (ME MOVE BALL FORWARD!!!) and making it complex and incompressible. It's our thing, and we like it.

You do such a good job presenting material that even though I am in the US, I watched this anyway.

When I was learning the rules of football, the notion of a "first down" was confusing to me in how it is used in multiple contexts. There is a "first down line", penalties can get you a "first down", you can run a play that gives you a "first down" and "first down" is the first play you run. "first down" is referencing both a play that results in resetting the number of plays back to 1 as well as the game state of having the number of plays being 1. It makes total sense once you understand it but it sounds strange the way it is talked about in conversation.

American Football, another invention from 🇨🇦 , before that football was just soccer in 🇺🇸

I'm told that Canada also plays gridiron football, except under Canadian rules there are only 3 downs, not 4. This knowledge is about 35 years old, so things may have changed. A touchdown is analogous to a _try_ in rugby (5 points, and they generally go for the 2 point conversion afterward), and the scrimmage is sorta kinda analogous to the _scrum._ Other than that, the rules are quite different; e.g., in rugby you're not allowed to throw the ball in the direction of the goal/end zone, in gridiron football the reverse is generally true. Association football (AKA "soccer") and a flavor of rugby called "rugby sevens" are Olympic sports but gridiron football is not, mainly because a lot of countries simply haven't played the latter. American football has sort of caught on in places like Japan, except recent news regarding the sport has been quite controversial and concentrated on one university team, where there was an illegal tackle that deliberately caused injury (the coach even said, "Go take 'em out" which has no softer connotation in Japanese; obviously he was canned), and more recently the senior members of the team were caught with a big stash of weed and got the entire team disbanded.

Great Canadian invention.

There are two more ways of scoring: (1) the defense may intercept a pass or recover a fumble (dropped ball) and return it for a touchdown (fairly common); (2) Special teams can catch and return a short field goal attempt in the end zone and return it for a touchdown (very rare).
