Silent Football

Yesterday we played the game silent football as a class. I was working on another project at the beginning of the class, so i came into the game after it had been taught to the group by another student. This game was beyond confusing. What i picked up from it is that there are very specific rules about hand placement, speaking, and some point system for each time you messed up. Other than that it seemed like a complete power trip for the leader of the game, who when being spoken to had to be addressed as “master of the skies and trees” or something similar to that that no one could ever properly say. Every time the invisible “ball” was passed to me i just hit one of my legs and sent it to the person next to me.  It was frustrating and i’m sure i’m not the only person who feeled like pulling their hair out.

 

As a whole i can’t think of any benefit that came from playing this game, other than seeing people make fools out of themselves by having to spell their name out using their butt. I hope i never play this game again in my life.
