American Football

Football is one of the roughest sports in the world. Second to rugby most likley. A touchdown is 7 points. You score a touchdown by getting the ball into the endzone witch is located at both ends of the the field. The field it's self is 100 yards long and 20 yards wide. You can score 3 points by having your kicker kick the ball into the field goal posts. Football is cool.
