She humorously stated,

"I'm THAT person who doesn't even know when they've scored. I'll understand eventually."

She also admitted that she was "learning so much" but was still unsure of how to play the game due to her lack of familiarity with the terminology. In one of her Instagram stories, she expressed her confusion with real levity, stating,

"I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I'm learning so much (GDK, what's going on, lol)."

Dina's interaction with her Instagram followers went beyond just sharing her thoughts.

She asked questions to try to figure out what American football was all about. Her questions revealed a sincere interest in learning more about the game. She wondered what "down" meant, why there were so many "mini-breaks," and why American football teams had so many players compared to teams in other sports.

Her curiosity led her to ask about the stadium's deafening cannon bursts and her empathy toward the visiting team's lack of support and cheerleaders.

Dina Asher-Smith's journey didn't end with questions; it proceeded with more. She honestly asked about "tailgating", an iconic American football tradition that is often a lively social event before the game. People who followed her were interested in answering her questions and teaching her what they knew.
