Welcome to Gridiron History with Kyle. On this channel, I will be periodically posting videos on various football topics. Head over to our video playlists to start enjoying!
Are you thinking about make videos on Germany, Brazil and other countries? Im brazilian, and im a sport fan in general, and im glad american football is getting more popular globally, the NFL and IFAF just need to invest more on the international game
Very nice. I’m from Mexico City and attended USC, so I am all into football 🏈, after soccer, of course. So I truly appreciate your video👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇲🇽🏈❤️
My friends in Mexico call it a rich people sport. From your report I can see what they mean. Don’t get me wrong I love football but it sucks that only rich people can play.
That's very interesting. It is an expensive sport to play for sure. Modern helmets are around $300-$500 a piece. For reasons I don't understand though, it doesn't cost a lot of money in the US to play football for the average person. Most High schools in the US have a football team. If you go to a public school, you usually don't have to pay anything for equipment. I think it costs money in Mexico because it's still a niche sport. If you wanted to play something like hockey or lacrosse in the US, you would most likely have to pay for all of your equipment. So, a lot of wealthier people play those sports growing up.
Not gonna lie i skipped by these at first but you got something going here thats pretty interesting good on ya. Ive heard Russia has College football teams though i have no idea if they still do or how big it is.
There are even American Football teams in Russia, China, and couple countries in Africa such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Uganda!! Also, Costa Rica and Brazil both have a women league same as Russia and many other countries
Porros are thugs organized by the government or public school officials to control any student movement that demand better conditions for students. Everytime the students organize protests, porros arrive and use violence to disolve the protests. They have become linked to american football because this sport is the most important sporting event in mexican colleges. Porros from one university or high school will fight porros from another school at "clásicos" or big rivalry games (like UNAM vs IPN).
Football(Soccer) has been sold to the elites where they just destroyed all competitiveness from the sport. They can't even win against small island nations anymore. American football and Baseball are thriving and are competing hand in hand with international power houses. Don't sleep too much on Mexico.
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle I think you also should do a story on the videogame “Madden” because that is what made me fall in love with American Football because not only did it teach me the rules of the game it made me appreciate how much strategy it took to play the game. The fact that the game had a first down line graphic, for example, helped me understand what downs, meant, and what value they had in the game, besides understanding and appreciating yardage gain and touchdowns. First down line graphics are now common in American football tv broadcasts, but not when I was a kid, so I had no idea what was really going on, but ‘Madden’ the game first did.
As a former college football athlete , played at Autenticos Tigres and current pro-player for Dinos, i can tell you with confidence that the League is growing🙏🏼🤝🏽stay tuned
I'M SO GLAD TO FIND THIS VIDEO!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼😎🏈🇲🇽 Football in México is very underestimated. We have a HUGE fandom 🤘🏼 I used to play football at VAQUEROS DE COAPA when I was a kid, got eight straight championships, and I was a coach for 13 years. Now I live in Chicago and I'm dreaming of getting back to be a coach😊
At 3:11, the viewership table, you got to establish that the population of Brazil is almost twice the size of Mexico's, each year the super bowl is watched by one fourth, even a third of the entire people will tune in...
17:41 Why wasn’t Marcus Spears mentioned. He was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️tight end who was moved to defensive end by Saban end was pivotal in the 2003 natty intercepting a pass against Oklahoma that sealed the game and won the natty.
Great work man! Thanks for making a video on Mexican football. P.S. the student protest that lead to violent repression started after the police crushed 12:39 a fight between the fans of two high school football teams in Mexico City
Thanks for watching! Ok, one of the books I read said something to that extent which is why I added the event. I couldn't find anymore sources though stating it was from a football game, so I didn't want to add that in there. That's crazy!
I actually agree why is that the NFL is so focused on taking a Franchise to the U.K when we are a much bigger fan base here in Mexico and it logistics would be so much more easy and cheaper!
