At first, it talks about how the book started talking about how it started and what they used to start football. There were also very few football teams when it started they played each other multiple times each season. Then there were set plays that got added in the early nineteenth century and that's when the game started to get more fascinating.

People started going to the games and it was becoming a bigger game and people were loving it. After this they added more teams for people to play on and for now, it was only college teams for people to play on but it was all ages. Then they added more and more rules for people to follow so the game became more watchable.

After they added the AFL the game started to boom and everyone started to watch the football. Then there were more teams for people to play on and have more teams so they played each other less. After this, the game was popping and everybody loved it the book was great and was the best and describing why.
