How I Became a Football Fan

How did I become a football fan? Well, I started liking football when I was 10 years old. I would hear my uncles yell and scream at the television. I remember the first team I liked which was the Jacksonville Jaguars. I had the coat with the team logo on it when I was little. I would ask lots of questions about why they did that. One christmas, a family friend gave me a football game for my playstation system. I think it was Madden NFL 2000. I would literally lie about getting my homework done just so I can play it when I got home from school. After that I became attached to pro football. Then, I started to watch the games with my uncles and grandparents and I started to get a better understanding of the game itself. I would even check out books from the school library. As I got older, I became able to explain to people what american football is. I don't talk about it as much but when I do people start to like it.

Lots of people have different choices of teams that they like. Alot of my friends like such teams as the Ravens, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, and the Patriots. I personally like the Redskins. I get alot of grief of why I like that team but that's my opinion. Alot of my friends like the Cowboys. Even my mom likes the Cowboys, which kind of hurt cause both teams are rivals. I'm still trying to get over that though. My reason for liking the Redskins because they're the home team and that I like their will to win, even though lately they haven't had that result. I believe they will win more games next season and be in the playoffs.
