I have to be honest, I am no great lover of football. Like at all. My limited knowledge of it goes only as far as the little bits and pieces I've subconsciously learned while it's on in the background on Thankgiving. That being said, I did find this book to be a good read. Of course, I have heard about the real life instances of football tribalism. Dind of the Tribe by Mark Salter does an exceptional job of bringing attention to these issues through a fictional lens. The two brothers go through a variety of trials as a result of being associated with the football team. The physical and mental abuse, not to mention the outright crimes perpetrated by bith the coaches and football team are enabled by the men in power. Nothing matters so much as the "image" of The Tribe. I couldn't get truly into this book since I was completely uninterested by the football aspect, but it was a timely read for current issues.
