COVER<br />

Lets just say some of<br />

us love our football.<br />

For those that don't<br />

know a hike from<br />

a hand up your<br />

ass. Here are some<br />

fun facts we have<br />

gathered.<br />

From CBS sports<br />

1 The game will be<br />

played between the<br />

Kansas City Chiefs<br />

and San Francisco<br />

49ers, marking the<br />

first time these two<br />

have met in a Super<br />

Bowl.<br />

2. This is the<br />

first Super Bowl<br />

appearance for the<br />

Chiefs in 50 years.<br />

The last time Kansas<br />

City made it this far,<br />

it was Jan. 11, 1970,<br />

when the Chiefs<br />

topped the Minnesota<br />

Vikings in Super Bowl<br />

IV for their first --<br />

and only -- Lombardi<br />

Trophy.<br />

3. This is the 49ers'<br />

seventh Super Bowl<br />

appearance. San<br />

Francisco went to five<br />

Super Bowls between<br />

1981-1994 and won<br />

all five of them,<br />

then returned to the<br />

big game in 2012,<br />

when they lost to the<br />

Baltimore Ravens.<br />

4. If the Niners win<br />

Super Bowl LIV,<br />

they will tie the New<br />

England Patriots and<br />

Pittsburgh Steelers for<br />

the most Super Bowl<br />

victories in NFL history (6).<br />

But lets get serious.<br />

Q: What do you call a bunch of millionaires<br />

sitting around watching the Super Bowl on<br />

TV?<br />

A: The Dallas Cowboys.<br />

A guy takes his twink boyfriend to a<br />

football game for the first time.<br />

After the game he asked his boyfriend how<br />

he liked the game.<br />

Oh, I really liked it, he said, but I just<br />

couldn't understand though why they were<br />

beating each other up for 25 cents.<br />

Surprised, the guy asked, what do you<br />

mean?<br />

The twink replied all they kept screaming<br />

was, ‘Get the quarter back! Get the quarter<br />

back!'<br />

Three fans were bemoaning the sorry state<br />

of their football team.<br />

"I blame the general manager," said the first<br />

fan. "If he signed better players, we'd be a<br />

great team."<br />

"I blame the players," said the second fan.<br />

"If they made more of an effort, we'd score<br />

some points."<br />

"I blame my parents," said the third. "If I'd<br />

been born in Boston, I'd be supporting a<br />

decent team."<br />

Ok one more .<br />

A hot college freshman decided to try out<br />

for the football team.<br />

"Can you tackle?" asked the coach.<br />

"Watch this," said the freshman, who<br />

proceeded to run smack into a telephone<br />

pole, shattering it to splinters.<br />

"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed.<br />

Can you run?"<br />

"Of course I can run," said the freshman.<br />

He was off like a shot, and, in just over nine<br />

seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.<br />

"Great!" enthused the coach.<br />

"But can you pass a football?"<br />

The freshman hesitated for a few seconds.<br />

"Well, sir," he said, "if I can swallow it, I can<br />

probably pass it."<br />

Talk like you know what the fuck is<br />

happening:<br />

American football consists of a series of<br />

downs, individual plays of short duration,<br />

outside of which the ball is dead or not in<br />

play.<br />

They run plays from scrimmage – passes,<br />

runs, punts, or field goal attempts (from<br />

either a place kick or a drop kick) – or free<br />

kicks such as kickoffs and fair catch kicks.<br />

Substitutions can be made between<br />

downs, which allows for a great deal of<br />

specialization as coaches choose the players<br />

best suited for each particular situation.<br />

During a play, each team should have no<br />

more than 11 players on the field, and each<br />

of them has specific tasks assigned for that<br />

specific play.<br />

The objective of this game is to score more<br />

points than the other team during the<br />

allotted time.<br />

The team with Continued on page 36<br />

AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />

With the current news cycle filled with<br />

disclosure of the lies and criminal<br />

activities of Donald Trump in his<br />

impeachment trial. It is with nostalgia<br />

looking back three years ago to the<br />

introduction of the Obama Official<br />

portrait done by the artist Kehinde Wiley,<br />

a time of less division and unease in our<br />

country.<br />

Kehinde Wiley is a young gay Black<br />

American artist who grew up in Los<br />

Angeles. He was interested in art<br />

at an early age Kehinde was raided<br />

in South-central Los Angeles by his<br />

mother Freddie Mae Wiley. His father,<br />

Isaiah D.Obot a Yoruba from Nigeria,<br />

Africa, came to the U.S. as a scholarship<br />

student and returned to Nigeria after<br />

finishing his studies. His mother was<br />

left to raise Kehinde and his five siblings.<br />

At an early age, Kehinde was able to<br />

reproduce things he saw by drawing<br />

them realistically. His mother arranged<br />

for him to take after school art lessons<br />

beginning at age 10. This was partially<br />

to distract him from participating in<br />

the gang culture that was prevalent in<br />

that area of L.A. at that time as well<br />

as to encourage his artistic talent. His<br />

continuing art education was with the<br />

San Fransisco Art Institute and Yale<br />

University School of Art.<br />

His training influenced his work in<br />

which he made a political statement as<br />

well as a visual one. He wanted to bring<br />

more attention to the participation and<br />

contribution of Black people in society<br />

through his visual representations. He<br />

realized the lack of people of African<br />

American descent being represented in<br />

the visual arts. His method of changing<br />

this was to create realistic representations<br />

of paintings by such artists as Jocques<br />

David's, Napoleon Crossing the Saint<br />

Bernard Pass on a white horse. In<br />

Kehinde's version, he has a young<br />

African American male riding a white<br />

horse but wearing army fatigues and<br />

boots. The background of the painting<br />

is a gold brocade pattern on red.<br />

KEHINDE WILEY, PAINTER OF <strong>THE</strong> OFFICIAL PORTRAIT OF BARAK OBAMA


Interspersed in the background are white<br />

sperm floating among the brocade pattern to<br />

enhance his statement of the masculinity of<br />

black men.<br />

Kehinde Wiley being selected to paint<br />

the official Presidential portrait of Barack<br />

Obama put him in a category of famous<br />

artists such as Gilbert Stuart, John Singer<br />

Sargent, and Aaron Shikter as an example<br />

just a few of the artists who have painted<br />

presidential portraits. However, Kehinde<br />

is a unique selection to represent Obama<br />

especially recognizing his previous<br />

representations of Black people integrated<br />

into a larger society through traditional rerepresentations<br />

as in the Napoleon painting.<br />

The Obama portrait shows him sitting on a<br />

chair leaning forward with his arms crossed<br />

in a background of floral foliage. This has<br />

been criticized by some political pundits<br />

as inappropriate for a presidential portrait.<br />

However, it is a more accurate depiction of<br />

Obama as a relaxed individual integrated<br />

with a natural living environment, than if<br />

he were posed sitting at a polished desk.<br />

What do you think a portrait of the current<br />

president should look like? How should<br />

he be represented as an impeached failed<br />

Human being?<br />

The official portraits of Barak Obama and<br />

First Lady Michelle Obama, painted by Amy<br />

Sherald, will be touring to museums for the<br />

next 2 years before taking their permanent<br />

place in the National Portrait Gallery. The<br />

tour will include the Art Institue of Chicago<br />

June - August 2021; Brooklyn Museum Aug<br />

-Oct 2021;<br />

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art,<br />

Nov - Jan 2022; High Museum of Art in<br />

Atlanta, Jan-Mar 2022; lastly the Museum of<br />

the ball (the offense) has 4 plays (downs)<br />

to advance at least 10 yards, and can score<br />

points once they reach the opposite end of<br />

the field, which is home to a scoring zone<br />

called the end zone, as well as the goal<br />

posts.<br />

Each time the offense succeeds in<br />

advancing at least 10 yards, they earn a new<br />

"first down" and the continues until they<br />

score are touch down (cross the end-zone<br />

or or kick a field goal between the goal<br />

posts. If not they such and the ball is given<br />

or kicked to the other team. Now the other<br />

team is the offense and gets to move the<br />

ball. Honestly the entire game is played in<br />

slow motion not like its reckless brother<br />

the soccer. Which is call football everyplace<br />

else.<br />

Collegiate and professional football games<br />

are 60 minutes long, divided into four<br />

quarters of 15 minutes each. In high school<br />

the kids are so high who know what rules<br />

they use.<br />

History:<br />

American football resulted from several<br />

divergences from association football<br />

and rugby football, most notably the<br />

rule changes instituted by Walter Camp,<br />

a Yale University and Hopkins School<br />

graduate considered to be the "father of<br />

gridiron football". Among these important<br />

changes were the introduction of the line<br />

of scrimmage, of down-and-distance rules<br />

and of the legalization of interference.<br />

Some say there is abundant evidence to<br />

prove that this is the oldest outdoor game<br />

in existence. In the 22nd chapter of Isaiah is<br />

found the verse, "He will turn and toss thee<br />

like a ball." This allusion, slight as it may be,<br />

is sufficient unto the antiquary to indicate<br />

that some sort of game with a ball existed as<br />

early as 750 years before the Christian era.<br />

According to the football hall of fame it<br />

all started November 12, 1892, a day that<br />

would forever be etched in sports history,<br />

although no one involved that day could<br />

possibly have recognized the importance<br />

of the occasion. It was the day that the<br />

Allegheny Athletic Association football<br />

team defeated the Pittsburgh Athletic Club.<br />

The game in itself was not a momentous<br />

event. But one of the circumstances of the<br />

game did make it a never-to-be-forgotten<br />

moment in sports history – one of the AAA<br />

players, William (Pudge) Heffelfinger, was<br />

openly paid $500 to play the game. Thus<br />

pro football made its debut more than<br />

100 years ago in comparatively obscure<br />

surroundings that could not possibly<br />

have provided the slightest clue to the<br />

world-wide popularity the sport would<br />

be destined to enjoy, particularly in the<br />

waning decades of pro football's first<br />

century.<br />

Did you know?<br />

The Seattle Seahawks team was named by<br />

fans. A contest was held and 20,365 entries<br />

were received. 151 people suggested the<br />

name Seahawks, and the name was chosen<br />

as the winner by the team owners.<br />

The NFL, first known as the American<br />

Professional Football Association, was<br />

formed in Canton on Sept. 17, 1920.<br />

The cheerleaders in the NFL typically make<br />

$50-$75 per game.<br />

A football is not made out of pig skin. A<br />

cow has only a 1 in 17,420,000 chance of<br />

becoming an NFL football that is used in<br />

the Super Bowl.<br />

Jersey number 12 was retired for the fans<br />

of Seattle, or the 12th man. However, while<br />

Sam Adkins played for Seattle, number 12<br />

was his jersey number.<br />

It wasn’t a requirement for football players<br />

to wear a helmet in the NFL until 1943.<br />

The winning team in the Super Bowl<br />

receives permanent possession of the<br />

sterling silver, Vince Lombardi trophy.<br />

It stands 20.75 inches tall, weighs 107.3<br />

ounces, and is valued in excess of $25,000.<br />

The most pizza is sold on Super Bowl<br />

Sunday than any other day of the year.<br />

Psychologists note that some events are<br />

socially tied to food categories—Superbowl<br />

+ pizza, Easter + eggs, etc.<br />

The NFL requires that all stadiums be built<br />

facing North and South so that the sun<br />

never interferes with a play.<br />

Former Minnesota Vikings kicker Fred Cox<br />

invented the Nerf football back in 1972. He<br />

still receives royalties for every unit sold.<br />

There are 67,000 seats, 11 elevators and 48<br />

concession areas throughout CenturyLink<br />

field.<br />

There is a reason why the field looks like<br />

a gridiron. Lines had to be established so<br />

teams knew how far they had to go.<br />

Kickers got more respect in those early<br />

days. Originally, touchdowns were only<br />

worth four points, while field goals were<br />

worth five.<br />

In football’s early days, the forward pass<br />

was illegal, so most plays were variations<br />

on a theme of “ball carrier smashes into<br />

the line of scrimmage.” Unsurprisingly, this<br />

limited playbook led to a lot of injuries.<br />

As president, Teddy Roosevelt threatened<br />

to ban football unless new rules were<br />

established to ensure player safety. The<br />

revised rules introduced the forward pass.<br />

The huddle was first used in the 1890s<br />

by quarterback Paul Hubbard, who was<br />

deaf. Hubbard was concerned the other<br />

team could interpret his hand signals, so<br />

he brought his teammates into a round<br />

formation to call plays.<br />

The first televised professional football<br />

game took place in 1939. We have come a<br />

long way.<br />
