Empty Colosseum

Football is facing an existential crisis, whether the game and its culture want to admit it or not. In Welcome to the Machine, author, former Division 1 football player, and war veteran Glen Hines explores how various forces in American culture try to salvage football despite the growing medical evidence of its destructive impact. Part memoir, part cultural analysis, part chronicle of the biggest medical crisis facing American sport in over 100 years, this series is mandatory listening for parents and a cautionary tale for thinking people who continue to fuel America’s gladiatorial spectacle.
