Hi there! Are you a fan of football? Either soccer or American football, or even Rugby, since it varies what football refers to, depending on what country.
gpt
Hi there, yes I watch soccer and the NFL, tow of the highest paid sports I guess, with soccer leading the way
human
Yea, they make a lot of money. It's surprising that in the 1960s the top bowlers made twice as much money as the top football players.
gpt
That is insane, cannot imagine it. Things change over time though. Did you hear about that player who donated his earnings from the World CUp?
human
Yes, Mesut Ozil. Very generous to donate his entire 300,000 euro bonus.
gpt
Yeah and helped all those children in Brazil. DO you know why it is called soccer in the US?
human
I didn't know it before, but apparently it's slang for association football? That seems a stretch to become soccer, but I guess people started using it!
gpt
Yeah. Even Jon Steward was a soccer player. I cannot imagine that but seems he was good at it too
human
*takes a step back* Yea, I didn't he was good enough to represent the US at the Pan American Maccabi games in 1983.
gpt
Exactly, good for him , what a talent. Heard there is a variation of the sport where 3 teams play at the same time. Wonder how that works
human
Yea, I wonder if there's a triangular field or something, because it's usually a rectangular field with a goal at each end. I imagine the field would need to change.
gpt
Yeah I think so too, good point. How about the NFL? Did you know U of Iowa's visitor locker room is pink?
human
Yea, I've heard of a few teams that try to mess with the visiting team through the locker room. I'm a fan of the NFL as well - one of my favorite teams is the Patriots. They used to have a running back, Green-Ellis, who has never fumbled in his career!
gpt
That is so amazing, wonder how he managed that. Apparently the highest recorded score is when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0. 
human
*eyes widen* Yea, that's crazy. That's got to be over 25 touchdowns, although I'm not sure what kind of rules they had back then in 1916.
gpt
Yeah that is true. Rules could have changed. Did not know until now that ESPN won an Emmy for the superimposed yellow line
human
*takes a step forward* Yea, that's definitely helpful during football games, but I'm surprised that won an Emmy too. It would be difficult to tell where the first down line would be without it!
gpt
Yeah that is true, it is super helpful. On another topic, do you enjoy reading?
human
Yes, but haven't had much time to lately. One of the books I had read when I was younger was "Ender's Game", which has been suggested for lots of military armies, apparently.
gpt
I have not read that one, maybe I should check it out. Same as Starship Troopers, it is in the reading list of three out of five military branches
human
Yea, we should all read more. I can't believe there was a panic about the spread of reading in the 18th century. What could they have against it?
gpt
I know. Now we have a panic because not enough people are reading. How times have changed. Nice chatting with you
