3 Reasons Why People Love Football
Introduction
The Superbowl.
It's the big game of the year that people all across America watch while huddled close together in front of their massive plasma TV screens. The football commentators call out every play that is happening before their eyes. The action is fast. The results are brutal. Thousands of shouts from adoring fans is heard throughout the country as each touchdown is made.
But what causes this love for football? Is there something deeper going on inside people's heads when they cheer for their team? Read these 3 reasons why people love football, and you'll be able to figure out the game plan that's going on inside the mind.
Reason #3. Football gets people excited
Football is intense. There's a reason why fans sit at the edge of their seat as soon as the quarterback huts the ball. The hype alone is enough to give people an adrenaline rush. Emotional highs are like a drug. When your favorite team makes that a long run to the touchdown zone in the last few minutes of the game, you can't help but feel overwhelmed with joy.
It's not just the good feelings that keep people coming back to the TV screen, though. It's the passion. Even if you are a San Francisco 49ers fan, the sheer emotional extremes you experienced during that loss can be addicting. For some people, it's not the specific feeling they're feeling that draws them, but that they're feeling something at all.
Reason #2. Football gives people something to talk about
Humans are social creatures. We love being around each other. We love to talk. It's the reason why you're on this forum right now. For many people, football is the perfect conversational avenue to take when you have nothing else to do at the office's water cooler. We like discussing sports, not simply because we enjoy the thrill of talking about entertainment, but because we enjoy the thrill of talking to others.
As a society, we love knowledge. We crave it. Why do you think people read the news? It's no different with football. It's not just having that information in our heads that makes us desire it, however. It's sharing that information with others. Think about this: how much would you watch football if you could never talk to anyone about it? Exactly my point.
Reason #1. Football makes people feel like they're a part of a team
Football is all about teamwork. Each player must put in their work and effort to get that trophy. But as people, players need more than that. They need encouragement and support. That's where fans like you come in. You are the one that's got their backs. You feel like you're with them on the field. Every win and loss hits them just as much as it hits you. You're family. You're connected. And that's why you love football.
When people talk about football games, why do you think they use words like "we" when describing what happened? It's because, in some small way, they are a part of the team. The fans is what keeps football alive. Our empathetic nature is what draws us close. Either we go big, or go home. But at least we went together.
Conclusion
There's many reasons why people say they love football. But it goes deeper than the surface. It's not just a game. Football is more than that.
It's a hobby. It's a community. It's a team.
It's a lifestyle.
So the next time you talk to someone about football, tell them why you absolutely love it. Then come the next Super Bowl, show them.
