Washington Monthly, April, 2004 by Charles Peters
I am, I must confess, a pro-football fan, having rooted for the Washington Redskins for more than 40 years. My wife will ask, how can I get so upset about violence in movies and still watch the violence on the gridiron. I, of course, stoutly maintain that violence is not football's main appeal. The other day, she wore the kind of smug smile that warns me she's ready to make a devastating point.
She handed me a brochure we had received from the Redskins. Its cover read: "How comfortable can you be watching grown men tear each other apart?" Open the brochure and you see a fan sitting in one of the most expensive seats, which the brochure is trying to sell, with a big smile on his face saying: "Very." She had me.
