For many Russians (and other foreigners), American football has always been a baffling sport. For serious soccer fans, it is hard to understand the immense popularity of the “other” futbol: American football. This sport holds an important place in American culture, ranging from schools to professional sports teams. The traditional season is in the fall and winter, culminating in the NFL Super Bowl, which is held usually in late January. It is one of the most popular programs watched on American television.
James Stanley will tell patrons about the history of this magnificent sport, the many teams that comprise the national leagues of National Football League and American Football League, and why the Super Bowl is such a popular event.
