Adam Hochschild Quotes, Sports Quotes, Football Quotes

One of my favourite contemporary fiction writers is a Texan, Ben Fountain. His extraordinary novel, Billy Lynn's Long Half-Time Walk, all takes place within the half-time show at a Dallas Cowboys football game.

Why can't cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.
