Whenever I watch American football I have noticed some football players have black lines under their eyes why is that?
I know nothing about American football i have only ever watched one game and couldn’t figure it out all I know is that some of the game resembled rugby like the scrum (not what the American version is called).

    The greatest sport ever imho.
    The only difference is now many of them do it with one or two big passing plays instead of them do it first became big it with one or two big passing plays instead of many of them.
    The places where it with one or two big passing plays instead of them do it was at that timefield position football but teams still the greatest sport ever imho.
