I have been working on nonfiction about football for the past year or so, and
have been astounded recently to watch the number of retired players suing the
NFL regarding negligence in handling concussions climb exponentially.
There are now many more former players suing the league than there are active players
in it, and the number is still growing. That led to "
Franchise
Mode: A Modest Proposal," a satirical piece published in The Classical, that
proposes a new type of fantasy football. You also can read an earlier essay of mine on The Classical:
"The Trauma and the Pity" covers Michael Vick, the Philadelphia Eagles, and concussions.
