A good history of why Football is worth fighting for!

[Long Time Cat]

From the article:
A West Point cadet named Dwight Eisenhower watched from the sidelines. He was on Army’s team but didn’t play due to injury. “Everything has gone wrong,” he wrote to his girlfriend. “The football team . . . got beaten most gloriously by Notre Dame.”
With that game, football’s long first chapter came to a close. It had reduced the problem of violence, and the game that we enjoy today was born.


Here is the link to the entire story. It might be a little long for some but I found it very interesting.
