From that story:
While America was divided over the Vietnam War, Lombardi, the authoritarian, demanded unity. While America split over race, black men and white men played as equals under the gap-toothed Lombardi.
Well, if one brings up Lombardi, I’m a bit astonished by that movie about West Point and their football players cheating in about 1951 and Lombardi was there during that time.
I forget the movie’s name but it is pretty good. I don’t even remember any of the main actors’ names except the coach may have tacitly known the players were cheating on their exams and maybe Lombardi did too.
Good movie, but I don’t know how close to the truth it was. I’ve read the amazon reviews on it as well. I just can not remember the name now.
“The Codebreakers” is the name of the ESPN movie and Lombardi is in it.
