College Football Should Be Banned

In his opening remarks, moderator John Donvan plucked a telling line from Tim Green?s writing. ?To this day,? Green had written, ?I will encourage people to feel the knob below my neck where the collarbone was sprung free from my sternum in the middle of a game against the 49ers.? Donvan explained that he wanted the audience to taste something of football?s ?poetry and passion and pain.? They did, on all three counts. The debate held poetry: Both Whitlock and Green, former players, offered up misty testaments to their time on the field. ?College football is the Statue of Liberty,? claimed Whitlock early on, yoking the game to ideals of diversity and tolerance. He argued that football unlocks the American dream for disadvantaged youth?and that his own career profited from the sport?s lessons of cooperation. There was passion as well, courtesy of Bissinger, who raged about what he considered the modern college student?s diminished academic experience. And there was pain. Malcolm Gladwell?s descriptions of CTE-positive head scans??it looks like someone drove a truck across their brain??hit hard, especially in light of the NCAA?s decision not to compensate college players.
