As the neighborhood alien nut I think we should start off that we can't assume they know anything. So the initial part of my presentation would be the cheering crowds watching the game to show how people enjoy this sport. After all, needless violence is pointless unless there's a crowd to watch. Once we've shown enough SEC stadiums at night, we can begin on the actual game. I wouldn't focus too much on details. I think showing the down marker changing 1-4 and them measuring the first down to indicate it's necessary to get it in 4 downs. Show the celebration of crossing the goal line to show how much touchdowns mean to people, and the addition of 6 points on the board. Other point-scoring acts like field goals and pick sixes can be shown the same way. The brutality of it all may shock certain NHI, but if the point of our bodies is to experience then the pain and glory are just as much a part of life as the paper and happiness. Then show the countless numbers of households watching the games to really show how much this sport has a grip on the people. I think I would focus on the more fun aspects of football in order to make it make sense to aliens.
