Musings From A Sunday Of Semi-Pro Football

The Philadelphia Spartans hoist their 2015 XEFL trophy.

For all of you who think that Sunday afternoon football is all about the NFL, think again.

November 6, the perfect Sunday for football in the City of Brotherly Love. The sky has a slight haze, reminiscent of the typical grey tint of fall. A soft breeze caresses groups of fans as they wait in anticipation of the Independent Football League matchup between the Philadelphia Steelers and the Philadelphia Spartans. The wind is welcome as the sun burns hotter than the 60 degrees that the thermometer reads. Young children toss around a pigskin on the game field, flags draped at their sides.
