“And they should all be in a cell
As a prelude to their time in hell
Instead they lounge inside hotels
And backslap other clientele
Who pledge loyalty to Israel
And sign their names upon the shells
That land on hospitals and wells
Eternal war is what they sell”

The only thing that would make this a better summary of college football is if the players all got NIL money for knife endorsements.
This story sums up college football very neatly: a player stabs two of his teammates (violence is a ubiquitous part of the sport, even internal to the team, even off he field, even encouraged by coaches)… and then the game proceeds as if nothing is out of the ordinary.
Because it isn’t, really.

The normalization of harm in college football is a hell of a drug.
I CAN'T EVEN. So...no, "gee, we really think it might be better if we didn't just act like nothing happened, let's not play the game, eh?"
