Best Answer

The effects of friction can be found in several areas of football (I assume you're speaking of the American brand of Football, not the European/Southern Hemisphere brand). 1) When the quarterback throws a pass, there's friction between his fingertips and the ball, helping to impart spin to the football in the air. 2) Runners need a good grip between their shoes and the surface of the playing field, and other than gravity, friction provides the good footing they need. 3) There is a small amount of friction between opposing players during blocking and such. Attempts to diminish the friction by liberally applying, say, vaseline, to your jersey would be viewed with disfavor by the local officials. .
