The Freak Show that Ate the American University

Commentary on the release of the Richie Incognito investigation’s results.

What did you think you were watching all these years? What did you think football was?

… The report over and over again mentions the workplace, and what is appropriate in the workplace. Well, what do these men do for work, at their workplace? “Not an ordinary workplace,” as the report’s conclusion, doesn’t quite cover it. The employees slam into people running at them, over and over again. Sometimes they slam into someone’s upper body, and sometimes they go for the legs. In their free time, when they’re not slamming into others, they train, so that they can weigh more, with more muscle and less body fat, for the next time they slam into others.

Of course UD has no objection to American football. People like freak shows. Let them have them. Just get it out of our universities.
