Football (known internationally as “American football”) is played between two teams, each with an offensive and defensive component of players, as well as a special teams unit, which takes the field for kickoffs, punts, and field-goal and extra-point attempts. The offense attempts to move a ball—by throwing or carrying it—through the opposing defense and into the end zone for a score. Football owes its roots to the collegiate environment, where university players merged two popular international sports—rugby and soccer—into a new sport. According to a 2022 study conducted by the research firm Statista, 52 percent of all sports fans in the US follow football, leading many to consider it the most popular sport in the country.
