Back to watching football

After a season of not watching brilliant athletes risk their brains for my entertainment, the bowl season has drawn me in again. At the college level, these young men are so graceful, so smart in their particular accomplishments ... most of them will never get anything out of football but injuries and proud memories, but I relate to their passion for their peculiar game.

Meanwhile, the current generation of professional black athletes are carrying on proud traditions of standing up for themselves. This video history is well worth a quarter of an hour of your time.
