Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by Buzz Bissinger

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
I thought maybe I would enjoy this as I love a scrappy sports story but I listed to 60 pages of this and then gave up. The racism and use of racial slurs was too much, especially because I felt like you were supposed to be rooting for this team and I couldn't root for some of these people. I hope that at some point in the book, there was growth for these individuals but I didn't have the patience or interest to get there.

This book was going to count for a few reading challenges but I didn't read enough of it to feel OK counting it for those.
