Abstract

Philosophy of a Corner Linebacker

The circumstances and manner in which football is played are also suggestive. Millions of dollars are spent on the most lavish technology and expertise of entertainment, while huge segments of the population live in squalor. In football one must not only try to keep possession, one must also try to gain it from the other side. This is done, literally, by forcing the opponent off his territory, yard by yard, until he has nothing left. The role of the competitor is indeed interesting enough in both spheres. In football, the truly professional attitude is not to think of the opponent as a human being at all--he is a position, to be removed as efficiently as possible in order to benefit the team's corporate enterprise of gaining points.
