Poem: Gridiron Gladiators Essay, Research Paper

It takes up most of the year

Everyday the same thing

Strapping on the sweat soaked pads

Running until your heart burst

All this so you can put on a uniform

On a Friday night,

And run out into a packed stadium

But we together are a rare breed of people

Any one can put on the pads

But to stand fast and work through good and bad

Is all part

A rare breed, is what I am part of

That,

Is why I play
