For Sheldon, knowing about American Football has nothing to do with being Texan, his father was the coach of the high school team. He also had Sheldon sit with him and watch the game after school. He knew that Sheldon would do his homework regardless of the situation so he used that time as a bonding opportunity.

Usually you don't hear Sheldon's Texas accent until he's really upset but this scene you can hear it pretty well when he's talking about something he's grown up with since his dad was a college then high school football coach.
This was also season 1 where Jim Parsons asked to make Sheldon from Texas so he could use his native Texas accent. I think he slowly phased that out over time, but this is when they were still feeling out the characters
I really related to Young Sheldon when he said he made a conscious effort to change his accent at a young age. Everyone who's grown up in a part of the country considered to be "too country" knows that feeling. But then we grow up, relax a little and allow the accent to come back.
Native Texan. I can turn it off and on. It's always a little bit there but it can be turned up. Put it this way, I've always understood Jeff Boomhauer.
I like how Sheldon, annoying as HE found it, still considers his dad’s football teaching methods superior to his own educational style (“summer night in the agora”) or even an instructional book.
Since he probably knows a lot about football, the subject matter was at the very least taught. Gotta give his dad that much credit. Probably not the best method, though, and the student could probably have learned it faster without a teacher even being involved. All the teacher did in this example was force him to study this particular subject he otherwise had no interest in.
I think that, when teaching, Sheldon copies the methods of who he learned the subject from. Though, in this case, his dad’s more casual method of teaching was fitting for the situation.
That look was very different from his response to Raj & Howard at the cafe before meeting Amy that, according to Sheldon, actually was his look of haughty derision.
"Can be" is the defining term. Learning to become an expert takes years even for a genius. People often go ask the smartest person they know hard questions in a completely unrelated fields expecting omni-diciplinary professionals, which may get them completely absurd answers.

Although I’m fairly certain that in Young Sheldon he was established to be a football genius as well. He was able to come up with better predictions of outcomes and better play calls than professional statisticians.

(I'm asian and from TX) During my grad studies at Ohio State, my colleagues and I went to a ton of games. My KY friend asked a ton of questions about football, and I answered them. One of my friends told me at the start of the game some undergrads were laughing that an asian kid was giving lessons on football. My friend said at the end of the games, the undergrads were listening in for tips on how to read the defensive coverages.
I’d feel the same way. I may not have grown up in Texas (I live in New York), but I’ve watched every level of football since I was 8. And yes, it does include the AFL, CFL, XFL (1.0 and 2.0), USFL (1.0 and 2.0), Arena, WLAF, and UFL. So, yes, that book would be useless to me as well.
@NWGeorgiaAdventures this and that episodes are fun to watch I wish there where more episodes of Sheldon showing his knowledge of football like imagine him in a fantasy football league
@@ovetjkin The term "soccer" - short for "association (rules) football" - was coined in England and used to distinguish it from "(School of) Rugby (rules) football". The latter was exported to the US where it developed into American football.

The oldest style of football to have a written set of rules is Australian (rules) football, btw.
Well, Sheldon is a genius in anything as long as he puts his mind into. I remembered one episode where young Sheldon managed to calm down a baby's crying immediately. The mother was not able but dude did it just like that.
His mind isn't into football at all, but he's a math and physics genius with an eidetic memory so he understands it inside and out. Given a choice he'd never watch it cuz he hates sports.

Sheldon is unfairly dismissive of the "For Dummies" book. The imprint actually does a very good job of providing solid groundings in any of the fields it covers.
So true! I remember I had quantum chemistry in the first year of college. And unlike my peers I felt so lost I couldn't even understand the reference book that the professor was using for the course. "Quantum Mechanics for Dummies" really helped me get the basics I needed and make it sense for me.
But at the moment they made that episode all that background story was not define yet. We have to remember that the new "young sheldon" series use "the big bang theory" as a source, no the other way around.

Same my cousin coached football and One was professional Steelers during the Super Bowl run so yeah . Secondly my other cousin he coached pre wee league
Except it's not remotely the case. Football goes back centuries. Soccer was the late 1800s, because rich kids didn't want to get their hands dirty playing real football. That's why every english speaking country has it's own football. Canada-Austrailia-New Zealand-USA-Ireland all have their own versions of football, because the game/history of the sport is older than soccer.
@@dixonhill1108 That is very Interesting. I grew up in NZ and so I was raised on both Rugby Union and Rugby League - 2 different kinds of football... My top preference was actually for Cricket!! LOL
Years ago, I was teaching at a high school that had a bunch of kids sign up for football. So many kids that I was voluntold that I had to help coach to ensure we had proper teacher/coach to student ratio. I had zero experience with football, so one of the kids bought me the same book.

Football is great, but my takeaway from this is that Sheldon can cook and shoot.

We all talk about Sheldon knowing football but nobody talks about the possibility that Sheldon may be a marksman as evidence by his last line here
Sheldon teach books, books don't teach Sheldon huh!!! 👍👍👍
Sheldon and his knowledge of football was one of the best twists in the show
I don't know if Sheldon knows anything about football but Jim Parsons absolutely knows about sports in football and is an avid fantasy football player
Sheldon doesn’t love football. But he loves his father. And his father loved football. Trust me, he knows it.
Sheldon’s dad is a lot nicer in young Sheldon then described here
Finally, an American acknowledging real football ⚽😅
Mah man sheldon aknowledging european football
The real football
Except it's not remotely the case. Football goes back centuries. Soccer was the late 1800s, because rich kids didn't want to get their hands dirty playing real football. That's why every english speaking country has it's own football. Canada-Austrailia-New Zealand-USA-Ireland all have their own versions of football, because the game/history of the sport is older than soccer.
@@dixonhill1108 That is very Interesting. I grew up in NZ and so I was raised on both Rugby Union and Rugby League - 2 different kinds of football...
My top preference was actually for Cricket!! LOL
Nah European football is for Marxists and wimps
Considering that Sheldon's dad coached high school football, Sheldon would know more than meets the eye!
… the perfect camouflage … 😂😂😂
Years ago, I was teaching at a high school that had a bunch of kids sign up for football. So many kids that I was voluntold that I had to help coach to ensure we had proper teacher/coach to student ratio.
I had zero experience with football, so one of the kids bought me the same book.
Sheldon is the voice in all of us that comes out when it's been quiet for a while and you just want to start some shit
If Sheldon was a genius he would have questioned why "footballers" use their hands.
As a native Texan Sheldon is correct!
I got emotional watching the last episode of the last season of this series❤️❤️
