The Search for a win

                I get to the game and I'm sitting in the same area as before, right behind the visiting team. There are a set of fans who are talking trash to the players. Yelling out some inappropriate things which I don't care to repeat. The players, number 83 in particular pays no mind to it. They do a great job of blocking off the crowd. The home team is wearing their black jerseys tonight instead of the pink ones from last week. The visiting players on the sideline are different from other teams because most of them have their helmets off. Many players have thin bands around their arms, towels, and gloves. There's s mix of both black and white men. Most of them are very athletic. Average heights are around 6'0 ft. The running back runs it in and the whole team raises their hands and celebrate. The coaches are on point yelling at players giving direction. One coach is putting up sign cards with different colors. I hear a coach yell out “red alert”, and a group of players run to the field.

                The visiting teams gets a sideline warning them to backup. This shows their support and interest in the game. The visiting team erupts and starts jumping up in excitement as their running back makes a great play and leaps over the tackler. Number 54 is laughing and says, “that’s nasty". I guess this means it's embarrassing for the tackler and good for the runner. The kickoff team gets on the field and again they are motivated by their coach. Number 22 runs the ball in for a touchdown and the home team erupts in excitement once. They cut down the lead to 13 points. The visiting team misses a field goal and the home team again erupts in excitement I believe the momentum might be shifting in their favor. It's 4th and five and the visiting team is on defense I notice that they are looking at their coach waiting for a hand signal to run a defensive play. A player from the home team is slow to get up and the trainers run to him and then suddenly he is back on his feet. The crowd gets very upset after the ref throws a flag for targeting. It seems that the ref believes number 40 targeted number 1 and intended to hit him in the head. The play goes under review. Its confirmed number 40 is disqualified and has to leave the game. He is very upset with the decision as he walks off the field he shows his frustrations by putting is hands up shrugging his shoulders. The players make their way back to the field after halftime and both teams begin warming up. I notice some players from the visiting team dancing to hip hop songs hit the quan and walk thru.
