Years in and years out money has been spend and money has been made because of this sport. Last year’s Super bowl for example was watched by 114.4 million people in America only. </div><div> </div><div><strong>Positions </strong></div><div> </div><div>In American Football you have an offensive team and a defensive team. The goal of the offensive teams is to score points. The offensive team exists of the Quarterback, the Halfback, the Fullback, the Center, the Linemen, the Wide receivers and the Tight ends. The Quarterback is responsible for leading plays and passing the ball to right person. The Center, his Linemen and sometimes the Fullbacks are mainly there to block the defensive team from attacking their Quarterback. The Wide receivers and the Tight ends are supposed to make runs for the Quarterback to reach them and score points</div><div> </div><div>As stated the defensive team’s purpose is to stop the plays from the offensive team and to put the Quarterback under pressure to make a wrong move. The Middle and the Outside line backers are the ones making the calls in the defence. Behind the line backers are the ones covering the offensive receivers, these are called Corner backs and Safeties. </div><div> </div><div>There are multiple ways to score point in American Football. The most popular one is the Touchdown, this happens when a member of the offensive teams gets the playing ball into the defensive end zone. A Touchdown is worth 6 points. Next to the Touchdown there are also the Field Goal (3 points) a safety (2 points) and the extra point, which can be converted after making a Touchdown.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>MLS, the Major League Soccer is the football equivalent of America. This competition is different from the other three. The other three work with other transfer ways and other financial ways. This has a special reason. American Football, Basketball and Ice Hockey is no were so popular as in America which means they make the rules of their own competitions, but this is not the fact in the MLS. Because the big football teams / competitions are in Europe and the transfer market there work different from the American one. But because the ones in Europe are greater and have the better footballers in them, America needs to adjust. Otherwise it would not be possible to transfer players to foreign countries.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><strong>Growing<br></strong><br></div><div>Although it is not as big as the European competitions, the MLS is growing. Big names are taking over teams like Abu Dhabi Sports and David Beckham. Abu Dhabi Sports started the club New York City FC and have already signed legendary players like: Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and David Villa. David Beckham bought a club which will play in Miami. Also Los Angeles Galaxy is one of the bigger teams with players like Steven Gerrard and Nigel de Jong. The competition is not as big yet, but it is definitely going the right way.&nbsp; rverL;����<br><br></div>]]></description>

Amateurs from junior, collegiate or European leagues can entry the draft. The draft will exist of best of 7 games serie in which the players need to proof to be better than the other ones. 16 teams of the 30 teams enter the final play offs for the champion ships and the other 14 are automatically placed for the draft lottery.
