Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 279588, member: 405"] Malcolm Gladwell is the intellectual darling of the moment. My daughter read an article he wrote for her freshman comp class, using the Michael Vick dog story to (a) compare football players to dogs who are trained to fight; and (b) to provide a background to his take on brain injuries from repetitive trauma that is short of an official "concussion", to reach the conclusion that football should be banned. I'll bet he was cut from his squash team in prep school. [/QUOTE]
