Every time there is a football match, my friends and I always come to a café near our office to watch it together. We order food and beer and have relax conversations before we watch the games. I think it’s just not us. Many people from all over our country gathered around to watch football, in the café or bar like us, or in house with their family. We all cheer our favorite team, mad when they lose, and jump around happily if they win. But as I come home tonight after New York Giants, my favorite team, beat their opposites; I realize that I didn’t know much about American Football championship league.
So after I realized it, I sat down in my living room reading a book given by friend a couple months ago. I read that American football are started to play from middle of 19th century. No one knows who that brings football from England to United States. Instead of using the round ball like Englishmen did, people in United States change it into different shape. The first official football games were known as Bowl games. It is a championship in the college that taken in the early 20th century. It is a games that played mostly by college students that time. From Bowl Games, there were some people who gathered to form American Professional Football Associations. That time was 1920. In 1922, it was changed into National Football League or NFL. The associations now had been the biggest sport association in United States. Since that time, the popularity of football has been increased very fast. In 1958, NFL decided to make a game named NFL champion games.
But two years after that, a championship league was made by NFL’s rival, American Football League or known as AFL. Many people wanted this two different league united as one. And after many discussions and negotiations, the two championships league united and became Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl era was happened in 1960s and gathered many success. The first winner was Green Bay Packer who won respectively in two seasons, 1966 and 1967. But beside it popularity, football and the championship league gain many critics because of the changing of rules, and controversies. Besides that, there is many people criticize football as too rough and full of violence. Many athlete get injured or fighting each other in many games. But even though many people criticize, football championship games is the most watching sport games in United States.
