For those of you who are connected on WordPress, Twitter, Facebook and other social networks please know that it’s American football season. Tomorrow begins the National Football League season while college/university and high school games have been underway for a couple of weeks. Some of you won’t fully understand what is going on considering European and American versions of football are plenty different. Know that all of football will be over in February when Super Bowl 51 takes place. It’s one of the most beloved sports in the USA and if you want to know more just ask. Thanks!
