Why do you love football?
I love football because when I’m on the field, I’m at home. I don’t feel anything on the field, but peace, and I’m at ease. There’s no better feeling than having a bad day and just being able to put on your helmet and shoulder pads. I love football cause you hear the crowd roar every time you do something good, and it’s the best feeling in the world.
