Football as a Second Language
Posted by tom | Oct 3, 2009I think Football as a Second Language (Libby Nelson, Chronicle of Higher Education, September 28, 2009) provides an excellent campus outreach idea. We did some of this in 'da Burgh with 'da Stillers (who BTW don't appear able to stop w/o Troy), in addition to learning about the sports in other countries (which at times I found much more interesting).
As I think about it, I wonder how many Americans understand our form of football well enough to teach it? Since I have the four girls today, maybe I should give it another shot so they're prepared for the opportunity.
Ready. Set. Hike. ;-)
