Quarterback
The term "quarterback" originated in the late 19th century from rugby football in North America, where it was part of a system of "backs" based on their distance from the line of scrimmage.

The quarterback was initially positioned a "quarter" of the way back from the line of scrimmage.

Minnesota Vikings fans chant this before games:
A. It's cold!
B. Skol!
C. Fly, Eagles, Fly!
D. Vikings Away!
B. Skol!
"Skol" (correctly spelled skål) is a Scandinavian word meaning "bowl," which evolved into a toast meaning "cheers" or "good health," and was used during communal drinking rituals. The term is not an ancient Viking war cry, and the popular myth that it comes from drinking from enemy skulls is untrue. Today, the word is famously used by the Minnesota Vikings football team and its fans in a cheer, which was adapted from a similar chant used by an Icelandic soccer team

Name this position.
Concessions vendor.
Food vending at games has roots in 19th-century baseball, with beer sold from saloons in early ballparks and the iconic hot dog likely popularized by
concessionaires like Harry M. Stevens and Chris Von der Ahe in the 1890s. Peanuts and Cracker Jack became baseball staples around the early 1900s, further cementing the food-game connection, while concession stands began appearing in the 1900s. The role of food vending at games has evolved from simple snacks to a wide variety of offerings, with large corporations like Aramark now managing the concessions in modern stadiums.
