How does one go from a part of the machine to being a renegade from the cause, a traitor to the movement? What are the culminating events? There are many former football players, indeed, more than you would ever believe, who have become renegades and turned their backs on the game. The reasons are legion.

Renegades from the Cause

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 veteran Glen Hines explores how various forces in American culture try to salvage football despite the growing medical evidence of its destructive effects. 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.
