Photo by Gary Warren, 1973

Why the photo?

It’s an attempt to connect with the bloody story. America’s obsession for the game of football is so like the Anglo-Saxon passion for war and violence illustrated in Macbeth. Like an Anglo-Saxon, I too appreciated, yea, loved passionately, this violent game! Like Macbeth himself, I decided to “catch the nearest way” in an effort to obtain the status I so longed for. My friend Gary snapped this photo of me in the fall of 1973 while I stood on the sidelines during a game, waiting to get back on offense. Ten minutes later, I was stretched out in agony on the gridiron with a blown out left knee.
