A: “What are you watching?”
B: “A football game. Packers are playing the Chiefs.”
A: “I never understood this game.”
B: “It’s not that hard. If you watch a couple of games, you’ll start to understand it.”
A: “Do you watch a lot of football?”
B: “I like the Packers, so I watch all their games.”
A: “Did you play football before?”
B: “Only in high school. I was too small to play for college.”
A: “What position did you play?”
B: “I was the corner back.”
A: “Is that the main guy in offense?”
B: “No. That’s the quarterback. The corner back is a defensive player covering passing plays and outside running plays.”
A: “I see. Do you think it is more fun than baseball?”
B: “It’s hard to compare the two because they're so different. I like both baseball and football. How about you? You like baseball a lot?”
A: “Yeah. I’m a big baseball fan.”
B: “Baseball is fun, but you should also learn football. I’ll explain as we watch.”
A: “Cool.”

A: “What sports do you like to play?”
B: “I like baseball and basketball.”
A: “How about football?”
B: “In my country football is brand new, so I never learned the game when I was younger.”
A: “It’s a very popular game in America.”
B: “Yeah. I heard a lot about it. Is it really that fun?”
A: “For me, it’s one of those games that are fun to both watch and play.”
B: “Are you a football player?”
A: “No, just for fun with my friends. We play two hand touch or flag football. We're too old to play tackle football.”
B: “What is two hand touch and flag football?”
A: “Instead of tackling somebody, you just have to touch them with two hands, or if it is flag football, grab the flag that the ball carrier is wearing.”
B: “I see. It’s safer then right?”
A: “Exactly. We play every Saturdays on the field by the tennis courts. If you want to learn and play a little, you’re welcome to join us.”
B: “I’ll give it a try. Give me a call and let’s go down together.”
A: “Ok. I’ll call you Saturday morning.”
B: “Great.”
