    Many years ago, when I was a regular league bowler, we had a deaf team in our league. They were cool and were a very good team. I remember them fondly to this day.
    I love this football team and hope the best for them!

    What a great story! I cannot imagine how hard it is to play football deaf. Think about it. On a hearing team, the QB, can call out signals or change a play at the line - for example a QB is lined up for a running play, but sees a defensive formation that would be vulnerable to a pass - he can't tell his line to switch from run blocking to pass protection - they can't move when they are in their stance, and can't see any signal. It is similar on defense.

      @namseer 2 роки тому +2

      That's actually true. They rarely have FALSE START penalties because they practice in such a disciplined manner. I don't know if it is true for this team, but many hearing impaired teams use a big loud drum on the sidelines to signal the snap of the ball. The line starts movement on the signal of the drum. ua-cam.com/video/rioSbXAEkek/v-deo.html

      I do not know anything about American football but if i had to compare it with European football i would think it would be very hard to reach a top league in Europe for a deaf player.
      Even in full stadiums that produce a lot of noise, you can often see that players communicate with each other during play, It can be just a scream to signal when to play the ball. Or a goalkeeper screams to signal his defenders to move out of the way. I am not sure if sound has the same importance in American football as it has in European football
      lol...so I really would like to see the movie

      I just wondered if communicating with speech in American football can be as useful as it is in football. I just said European football so Americans would understand what game I meant, because the rest of the world calls this beautiful game....Football...and for us the distinction is the word American.
      I cannot help that the US is the only country in the world that insists to call our sport soccer and their own American game football. I have no idea why your game is called football? they rarely touch the ball with their feet......maybe it is because they run?......I have no idea.

Not the audience for the depraved, right-wing, rageful, demeaning, anti-American $#!+ shows designed to be propaganda for gullible fools in the right-wing "news" world. Since fiction is more entertaining than facts and since fear and rage are more easily generated that common sense and understanding, CNN's audience numbers lag behind Fox News. This is also because intelligent people on the left are busy doing critical work to keep the country running while conservatives sit and do nothing but run their mouths.
