I wasn't out cold, but I was out -- A brief and wildly subjective history of football -- A deep and true joy penetrated my being -- You knock my brains out this Sunday and I knock your brains out the next time we meet -- This eager violence of the heart -- "Get money!" on three -- The love song of Richie Incognito -- The blind spot -- Their sons grow suicidally beautiful -- All games aspire to a condition of war -- Bill Simmons draws the line -- Stop being a fan, start being a player.
Síntesis:
Argues that not only is American football hazardous to players' health, and especially to their brains, but also that American support of the sport encourages violence, prejudices, and other ethically troubling behavior.
