My abusive father who loves football never taught me how the gently caress the game works but got mad when I didn't understand it. Then got more mad when I thought it was a nonsense game rooted in racism once I asked? Please Goons help me understand this game. I'm a long term Mt:G/HS player this should not be so loving opaque. I would love to know how it works and how to interpret the rules beyond "black men destroy their bodies in the service of their white overlords."

I am sure it has rules and regulations and I am sure I should be able to understand what poo poo like "first down and 10" means but this is all nonsense, right?

They may as well be playing racist Quidditch for all I can tell?

Help I want to understand please.

first and ten is a metaphor how for no matter how much you achieve, capitalism will work against you and reset you to your previous state as if you've accomplished nothing at all.

a field goal is a way for capitalists to exert power over their employees, by purposefully not giving their employees the tools they need to achieve and give them absurd targets to meet.

a 'touchdown' is another term getting a sale

in this way, we see that no matter how many people of the team worked to get to the end, only one is credited with the win

the people in the stadium you ask? well, they're wall street.

they quite literally bought a seat there, and cheer on as two corporations fight it out all for their sick entertainment.

they really have no investment on who wins or loses, you see, because they win either way

Not only that but it's a weekly episodic with story lines, rivalries and things that culminate in season finales which can't be spoilered and happen in real time.

BASIC RULES OF FOOTBALL

Football is played between two teams each made up of eleven players. (Sometime in junior competitions you will find 8 player teams).

Games comprise of at least one innings where each team will take turns in batting and fielding/bowling.

The fielding team will have a bowler bowl the ball to the batsman who tries to hit the ball with their bat.

The fielding team tries to get the batsmen out by…
-Hitting the wickets with the ball when bowling
-Catching a batsman’s shot on the full
-Hitting the batsman’s leg in front of the wicket (LBW)
-Or hitting the wickets before the batsmen can run to the other end of the pitch

The batmen try to score as many runs as possible before getting out by…
-Hitting the ball and running between the wickets and making it to the other end before the fielders can hit the wickets with the ball. Each time you run one full length of the pitch it equals 1 run.
-Hitting the ball to the boundary along the ground is 4 runs.
-Hitting the ball over the boundary on the full equals 6 runs.
-The fielding team must get 10 batsmen out before they can change over and start batting.
-The aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible before the fielding team takes 10 wickets. The team with the most runs wins.
