Football isn't going to go away, no more than it was 100 years ago when players got killed or 60 years ago when there were major cheating scandals.

But what gets me is how some people can't discuss the issue without getting personal, can't talk about the issues without getting into Bissinger's appearance or speculating about his own school experiences.

Is that a sign that they don't have any real arguments or just don't want to think seriously about the topic at all?

American football isn’t going away anytime soon. But will we continue to see white kids from middle and upper classes continue to play football? I think not. That’s where talent is going to dry up.....we won’t see as many talented Quarterbacks, Offensive Linemen and Tight Ends in the future, just my .02.

Audie Murphy was 5'5", 110 pounds. Had he been rich enough to attend high school, he wouldn't have been big enough to succeed on the gridiron and he might even have been a prospective target of ridicule by "school jocks".
