Knights in armour, football in France
Even in Vannes, a small French town, american football is more than a contact sport
Knights in armour, helmets that clash, English slang… American football is more than a contact sport, is a conflict against ourselves and against the opponents, a tough battle which requires a great team spirit, mindfulness and constant preparation.
In the dressing room we get ready, we get dressed, like before a medieval battle: ankles, wrists, heads. Music loads us, launches us towards the green lawn. We apply black paint on our cheeks, it’s like a war, you know.
The Mariners of Vannes are ready to start the season on a winter Saturday night. They will have to win eight games for reaching the national play-offs.
The goal, right now, is to be on the field, face to face with the enemy, with the ball ready to be thrown and contested into the French skies.
