Football Know How

Just like football, I am white, So they're not all white but the strip is, right? I don't know much about football, actually, pretty much nothing, except my dad's favorite team. My brother played in high school, He really thought he was cool. But there's a sense of pride when holding the ball, a life lesson to give your all. To never give up no matter the score, And when you've given a lot, give some more. A night that brings together a town, All screaming in unison when they get their first down. It gives the old men something to talk about, and the old women a reason to shout. Football in a small town is the absolute best, As for the rest, I already confessed!
