Ever since I decided I wanted children, one thing I really wanted them to do was play sports. Mainly football, if my child was a boy. After reading this, I lost respect for the NFL and made me rethink my decision about my hypothetical son (Not saying girls can't play football, in my school we had a team for the spring so girls could play, but it wasn't an official team sadly.) and made me realize I don't want him to play.
Anyway, I was entertained by Bennets life and I liked learning about Nigeria and the Igbo culture. I thought his family history and himself was very impressive. The book was slightly boring but I definitely learned a lot about CTE, the shady ways of the NFL, and Nigeria. I felt very sad for Bennet because if I worked that hard, only to have my work and research be told it was "Bad and unethical" I would be crushed.
The only thing I would say but it wasn't really bad or anything, I just felt a lot of the information was rushed in a way towards the end.
I'm going to see the movie this weekend with my father, so I hope Will Smith doesn't disappoint.
