Evolution


As I look back through time (1970 ) There was a game out there that every little boy had, well almost every one.

And froma childs view we played this game. We were limited because our minds really couldn't comprehend the complex nature of football.

Unable to solve the mystery of passing, we resorted to alturnative forms of passing that would pacify our wants.

With out adult guidance we formed an identity that we thought was right, and it was right, from the a childs intellectual stand point.

Unable to agree on just how to play that didn't give an advantage to some one we separated and formed leagues where we could be king of the hill and be in control.
Not being satisfied with the state of the game frustration sat in, and into the dark abyss the game went. The mystery of how to play with out giving one sid an advantage remained unsolved frozen in time.

Now more than 30 years later the ice has melted and the unsolved mystery remains.
Now grown up with a greater intellect, and more of an understanding of the adult game of football, it is logical to think that the mystery of this game would finaly be solved.

Unfortunatly male pride, jealousy, selfishness has not given way to comprehention and logic. Many have compromised the integrity of football to satisfy a selfish want.

Subconsciously we want realism, this is evident by face mask, decals, figures, fiedl covers, scale size boards, but there is something missing, something that will elevate a childs game to an intellectual, cerebral sports strategy game that reflects the essences of football.

But like crabs in a barrel, when one trys to move ahead, there is some one that wants to pull him back down to there level.
