Football trivia questions
Football mixes dated and undated questions: 8 of its 16 have a year, between 1967 and 2017, and 8 do not. The Life group of the picker lists it as “The NFL and the college game”.
The Football timeline
The dates fall in 5 decades. Here is how many questions sit in each:
- 1960s: 2 questions
- 1970s: 1 question
- 1980s: 3 questions
- 1990s: 1 question
- 2010s: 1 question
How Football questions are asked
The 16 questions are multiple choice. By their opening word: 7 start with “Which”, 4 start with “The”, 1 start with “College”. Facts that appear after you answer run as long as 18 words. In 2 cases the answer is just one word.
Every question was checked against a written source, and the source is kept with it.
