Proud of my Country

I am proud of my country because we have been at war for awhile and were still fighting I thank the Men and Woman for fighting for our country. There has been two people in the army that I know and they are my sister and my grandpa, my sis used to be in the army then they kicked her out because she didn’t come back to the ship in enough time so they sent her a letter say that she’s not in the army any more. My grandpa was also in the army a long time ago the bad thing in the army that happened to him is he was in a tank crossing a bridge and the bridge fell apart and he flew out of the tank and his legs got crushed he survived but when he went to the doctor the doctor said he would never walk again but a couple years later he walked again. That was just a little summary about my sister and my grandpa, in the army that was a long time ago.

 
 I see the joy in people’s faces when the army returns and visits their family for a few weeks or so. I thank god and the soldiers for our protection and all the money for guns and missile to defeat our enemy. I think our army is good because we been fighting all these years and were still fighting and were not losing the war. The thing I don’t get is why can’t we just settle this instead of fighting. I hope Obama can stop this war and send the troops home because families wont have to worry about their family member getting hurt or dyeing. The also bad thing about the war is we spend a lot of money on the guns and vehicles.


All the bad things that happen in the war are usually from mines or bombs. When we killed Osama Bin Laden we didn’t use mines or bombs we used helicopters and a lot of other technology to know where Osama was at the specific time and they were sneaky. Once we killed Osama the country celebrated for along time. The president also made a speech about killing Osama later on in the war we killed more terrorist that gives a reason why we can send our troops back home they did their job and now they can come back home.    

    

NFL Football

NFL football is the best sports I the world because it has a lot of action and really cool plays. Football is also one of the best sports in the world because its fun to play and a lot of people enjoy it because of the good teams that play each other and all the good players. The super bowl is the biggest thing of all the games the two best teams in the NFL faces each other for the Lombardi trophy the Lombardi trophy is a trophy that the winning team gets the trophy. The super bowl is held at a stadium that is picked but none of the teams are home there usually away, the Super bowl is at different stadiums ever year next year the super bowl is going to be held at the Indianapolis stadium. The reason I like football because u get to try out different position  and its fun playing against other teams and u get to be in the action instead of watching the action. My favorite football team is the Atlanta falcons the worst team I like is the green bay packers, I like the falcons because they have really good players and also they have one of my favorite players. I also like the Philadelphia Eagles because of Michael Vick and Desean Jackson those are my favorite players on the Eagles. On the falcons my two favorite players are Roddy White and Julio Jones.



NFL football has been going on for a long time. It use to be just American Football League until 1969 it changed into National Football League( NFL)  The first NFL draft was 1960 including hall a famers in the draft.  The common draft began in 1967 the first AFL teams were the Pittsburg Steelers, Cleveland browns, Baltimore Colts, The AFL logo was changed some times one of those times the A was changed from blue to white to red. The NFL retained its logo and its colors, over the years the NFL has became one of the most popular professional sports league in the United States. When there was only a 12 team league the Chicago Bears was one of the most popular teams, on August 14, 1959 was one of the first team meetings held in Chicago, Illinois. The Dallas Cowboys started play football in 1960 and the Minnesota Vikings started playing football in 1961. Later in the year another team was made from Buffalo, New York was names AFL's eighth team.  The AFL first draft took place the same day that Boston got a Franchise. Every different season there was different number of games in 1982 there was only 9 games in the season. In 2001 there were 16 games after every year the football games either stayed the same or go lower or higher, in 1990 bye week’s game into some of the football team’s schedule.




 In October 26, 2007 the NY giants and the Miami dolphins played in London for the first game.  Now these days the NFL season is usually just 16 games and also the playoffs so the players still play a lot of games, also they made NFL more complicated because of all the rules they have now. The NFL this year almost only played 13 games this season because the NFL went on a lockout and also the Super Bowl almost got postponed.
