When Vince and I interviewed in Adel, Georgia two weekends ago, part of our itinerary was to watch a pee wee football game. Our interviewer, Michael, is an avid football fan. He played when he was in high school and college, and now, he coaches the neighbouring county's pee wee football team where his 8-year-old son currently plays for. On the second day of our interview, we went to his son's game. That was the first time that I watched an actual football game. I thought I would get bored especially that I wasn't really familiar with the rules, but interestingly, I enjoyed the game that I even cheered on whenever a team would score a touchdown. Thanks to Vince who explained to me the basics of football, and the little cheerleaders in their pompoms and short skirts who amused me with their cute moves ;) One thing I can say though is that football is a very physical sport. Even with those 8-year-old boys and under, I witnessed a lot of tackling and bumping, and I heard more than once from the coaches and spectators that, "It's legal to hit someone in the mouth." Hehe! However, when a player got hurt during the game and was taken off the field to sit it out, all the other players dropped down on one knee and clapped for the injured kid. Awwwwww :')
Anyway, here are a couple more photos I took during the game:

And yes, Michael's team won! Hooray for the Rebels!
