The correct answer is A deaf team
So why is this answer correct? : Gallaudet University, a famous school for the deaf and hard of hearing in Washington, D.C., was playing a football game against another deaf team in 1894. Quarterback Paul Hubbard instructed his teammates to form a tight circle around him with their bodies, preventing the other team from seeing his signs. The huddle has since been adopted in multiple sports all over the world.
