one of the most popular sports besides basketball and baseball. It attracts millions of fans each fall and
people are very supportive of their favorite teams. The football playing field of today is rectangular in
shape and measures 100 yards long and 53.5 yards wide. White lines are painted on the playing field to
mark off the distances to the end zone. The games is divided into four quarters, each fifteen minutes long.
The first two quarters are known as the first half. There is a rest period between two halves which usually
last about fifteen minutes. Each team has eleven players. Each team has offensive players who play when
the team has possession of the ball and defensive players who play when the other team has the possession
of the ball. Because of the body contact players have during the game, helmets are worn to protect their
head and face area, whereas pads are worn to protect the shoulders, arms, and legs. Also, there are officials
carrying whistles and flags to make certain that the rules of the game are followed during the game. The
football is made of leather and is brown in color. It is shaped much like an oval and has white rings near
each end of the football. These rings help the players see the ball when it is thrown or someone is running
with it. The eight stitches on the top of the football help the players to grip the ball when throwing or

televised around the world and is watched by millions of people each year.
