Firstly, McGrath defends the argument that football does not have a future. After introducing his topic with a story of his first football game and first favorite player, he uses this to present this question, “Was Ironhead a role model for a sport with no future?” This question introduces the topic and also sets the mood for the duration of the article. He gives several examples of football players with traces of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (C.T.E.) in their brains. This condition is what results from a person who has had a multitude of concussions or

Life in the Henry Horner Homes can be everything but present. Life in the city of Chicago can seem more like a curse than a gift. The residents of this public housing only experience brief instance of true joy before the reality that is their lives come crushing back down on them.

Holmes, he committed many murders in a suburb on the south side of Chicago during the late 1800’s.

Walter Payton was also known for his philanthropy off the field, earning him the nickname “Sweetness”.

He is on the guest lists to all of their parties and yet he is the person most worthy of attending such parties because he is well bread and his family is certainly not poor. “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” (Ch1, P1).

In order to truly appreciate the overall beneficial influence football has had on American culture between the 1890’s and 1930’s, we cannot turn a blind eye to the negative obstacles football has overcome. In the early years of development, football was played similarly to rugby and universities played by different rules, making standardization within the sport a difficult task to accomplish. One of the major problems observed during the infancy of football was the sheer violence witnessed on the field. Mass play was the common play style during the first years of football in which the entire offensive force would focus on one spot of the defense; the offense was determined to go through the defense rather than go around them. The raw power behind these plays lead to serious injuries as well as the death of a player in the early 1900’s.

I was eleven years old when it happened. My family and I lived in Mexico City and like always we ended the day after dinner as everyone retired to bed.

I remember my mom frantically running to my room to rescue me. In a second, the house I called home was now bending like a tree that had been made unstable by heavy rain. It was cold, and I did not have warm clothing on but we had to stand and watch from outside. I was terrified when I heard screams from the neighbor’s house. Her house had sunken completely leaving her two children that were younger than
