Here are the thoughts of four young women who were at their very first game!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;I love how Americans make their love for football be more than just a game. Everyone has a team that represents themselves. &#8211; their state or their alma mater. Passion, proud, tradition and rivalries are some of the reasons why I got really excited watching a sport that I still don&#8217;t know all of the rules, but I wanna dedicate some of my time to learn about. Navy vs Tulsa was my first football game and I can tell how much it&#8217;s impressive, their love and being Navy! Once their team got a score, the Navy Academy had to do some push-ups in dedication. They were supporting, singing, dancing and vibrating all the time. During the break, the cheerleaders along with the band got in formation of the USA initials in order to show the proud of being an American.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8211; Brazilian au pair<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-495\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o-624x351.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/mdl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2016\/11\/15101962_10209475441914260_1123022788_o.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;It&#8217;s always good to see how Americans come together when it comes down to sport.
