AMERICAN FOOTBALL
The American type of football was developed in the 19th century from soccer and rugby
football. Played by professionals, amateurs, college, high school or young children, football in
America is one of the most popular sports. It attracts millions of fans each fall and people
are very supportive of their favourite teams.
The football playing field is rectangular in shape and measures 100 yards long and 53.5 yards
wide. White lines are painted on the playing field to mark off the distances to the end zone.
The game is divided into four quarters, each fifteen minutes long. The first two quarters are
known as the first half. There is a rest period between the two halves which usually lasts
about fifteen minutes.
Each team has eleven players. Each team has offensive players and defensive players. Players
are required to wear protective equipment to help keep the body safe during the game.
Helmets are worn to protect the head and face area. Pads are worn to protect the shoulders,
arms, and legs. Protective equipment must be worn because of the body contact players have
during the game.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL (Comprehension écrite)
Officials supervise the game and are considered to be very important to the game of
football. They carry whistles and flags and make certain that the rules of the game are
followed during the game.
The football is made of leather and is brown in colour. It is shaped much like an oval and has
white rings near each end of the football. These rings help the players see the ball when it is
thrown or someone is running with it. The eight stitches on top of the football help players
to grip or hold the ball when throwing or passing.
The most famous football game of the year is the Super Bowl that is played in January or
February. It is televised around the world and is watched by millions of people every year.

en une phrase en anglais (photos video-projettées)
Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders are the beauty of what can be a violent, brutal sport. With their shiny pompoms, sexy costumes and athletic dance routines, these women are the only reason why many
people watch football in the first place. And the Super Bowl, broadcast simultaneously in 232
countries around the world, is their biggest stage.
Commercials
The Super Bowl is the most important event of TV advertising. Advertisers pay millions to
get their ads broadcast during the game (this year’s rate was $2.8 million for 30 seconds of
air time). And they spend millions more producing ads that are creative and innovative enough
to generate a buzz. Indeed, for many people, the commercials are the Super Bowl.
Finger food
Super Bowl Sunday is the second-highest day of food consumption in the USA after
Thanksgiving. The feast usually begins with the pre-game show at noon, six hours before
kick-off. During the day, Americans will eat one billion chicken wings, 15,000 tons of popcorn
and 8 million pounds of guacamole. Not to mention all the pizzas, soda and beer that is
consumed. It’s no surprise that 6 % of working Americans call in sick the day after the game.
Live music stars
The Super Bowl half-time show has come a long way since marching bands played at the first
game in 1967. Today it is a showcase for music legends: the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney,
U2, Justin Timberlake, Prince and Michael Jackson are just some of the names that have
performed. Bruno Mars will be the 2014 Super Bowl Guest.
Mascot
Every team has its own mascot. Someone is dressed up as an animal: it can be a bear, a dog, a
lion, an imaginary creature, a cartoon character…
The mascot is used to cheer up spectators, kids and grown-ups.
Fans love buying the mascot toy of their favorite team and bringing it back home.

Diary of a Mascot
My name is Pierre Deschenes and I was born in Shawinigan-sud, Québec, on November 9,
1949. In 1985 while I was a referee during a hockey tournament, the mascot was injured –
the tournament had to go on and they needed a new mascot. They asked me if I was
interested and, without realizing that I’d do that in front of 40,000 people, I accepted. The
result was very impressive, and I was actually better than the previous mascot.
Since then, I’ve been in the fascinating world of mascots. I have worked for major
companies such as Coke, les Caisses Populaires, Pepsi, Bell Canada, etc. For the past four
years, I’ve been in the USA as the mascot Jumping Jack where I perform for approximately
200 hockey and baseball games per year.
This profession gave me the opportunity to travel in many countries throughout the world
and meet many people including celebrities (Céline Dion, Garth Brooks), political figures (Bill
Clinton, Stephen Harper) and athletes.
The most important part is that for the past 15 years, I’ve been in love with my job. I’m
totally dedicated to it. There’s nothing nicer than to be able to get smiles from kids and
make people happy around you.
