Summary:
In football, as in life, the value we place on people adjustments with the guidelines from the video games they play.
When we first meet up with the son at the guts of this extraordinary and moving story, he is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not understand his genuine name, his dad, his birthday, or the things a kid might find out in college. And he has no serious encounter playing organized football.
What changes? He occupies football, and school, after a rich, Evangelical, Republican family plucks him in the mean streets. Their love is the initial great power that alters the world’s belief of the youngster, whom they adopt. The second force may be the advancement of professional football itself.
In THE BLIND Part, Lewis shows us a largely unanalyzed but inexorable trend in football functioning its way down from the pros to the senior high school game, where it collides with the life span of an individual young man to make a narrative of great and unexpected power.
