A well presented, visually interesting story from Sports Illustrated about a game in Anniston, Alabama, 40 years ago in which a player died.
Was it intentional? I still don't know.
Were there coaches in Alabama who would have ordered especially brutal hits against a black player?
I wasn't in Alabama yet. What do you think?
That was one gripping story - and so well written. When he began the story, considering that it was 1972 and where the opposing team was from I was certain that Dr. Lamb was correct. As the story unfolded, it became more complicated. The whole drama was very true to the ethos of our football culture and our struggle with racism.
