A football has pointed ends to help it cut through the air. When you are throwing a football you adjust how hard you throw it based on how fast the wind is blowing or how far away your target is.

Many people wanted the game banned because of its fatality to the players. Harvard did but had to reinstate it because the students loved and wanted it back.

This is one of favorite movies because it shows how through all the odds that were stacked against them they overcame the odds such as racism and relationship building to form a high caliber team. The major theme of this movie was racism and that was followed up with various sub themes but three that stuck out to me were racial ideology, overcoming adversity, and the building of friendships.
