- Synopsis
- This book is divided into four thematically organized sections. The first examines the emergence of high school and college football in the United States. The second section focuses on midcentury efforts to study football as a medical issue, including the development of sports medicine and debates over what constituted an injury attributable to playing football. Third, it explores how doctors, coaches, sports administrators, and sporting goods manufacturers managed the physical and financial hazards of football, and to whom they attributed responsibility for the injuries that occurred. Finally, it examines the changing demographics of youth football and the increasing corporate power of the NFL.
