How Football Is Like a Modern Painting
As the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks prepare to meet this Sunday in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, you’ll hear a lifetime’s worth of metaphors for football , many of which have already been catalogued and parodied in George Carlin’s classic routine “Football versus Baseball.”
One metaphor you’re less likely to hear is how football is like a
modern painting, but that’s a common metaphor in one of the most
unusual, but most insightful sports books written about the game—Nicholas Dawidoff’s Collision Low Crossers: A Year Inside the Turbulent World of NFL Football.
If you’re a fan of football or just a fan of interesting, quirky
writing that gets at the creative artistry of any activity, including
sports, Dawidoff’s Collision Low Crossers is the book for you. Please come over to Picture This at Big Think to read more of "How Football Is Like a Modern Painting."
