Former football player Elwood Reid exposes the brutality that lies behind competitive sport in this insightful, direct novel. Reid writes about one Elwood Riley, a small-town working-class kid who gets his chance when he receives a full football scholarship to the University of Michigan. But the inhuman way that boys maim themselves and each other to stay in the game affects the thoughtful and intelligent Riley. He faces a quandary - whether to "six" and lose his scholarship or be a "fella" and bash his brains out on the field. It’s a surprisingly complex dilemma faced by many young men entering pro sports and If I Don’t Six makes for a thought-provoking read. | If I Don't Six by Elwood Reid, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
