"The fact that John McMurtry can no longer move his neck without pain or move his arm lends credibility because he has suffered a great deal of personal injury because of the sport that he is criticizing. Therefore, he has had a lot of personal experience and knows what he is talking about.
2. It's interesting to see how many ways that football can be compared to war. The fact that presidents used to compare wars with football games and the fact that football terms mirror war terms convinced me that football wasn't necessarily the safest sport around (aside from the statistics on injuries). This comparison appeals to logos because it shows how football and its destructive aims are comparable to war and how these two things are extremely similar when analyzed thoroughly.
4. These findings support McMurtry's argument against the brutality of football because they show that Americans are starting to break down their society and reflect the violent tendencies of football/war.
5. There is the passage where the author is talking about how he had to suppress his natural desires and tendency and become more violent to play the sport of football.
7. McMurtry's audience is definitely the general American audience who watches and admires the sport of football and violence in general. The audience does not need to know much about football in order to know that there is a great deal of injury and immoral teachings.

Author's conclusion: football and war are alike. both support violence. both are organized. and other liberal Canadian babble about how football is too violent. "
