Question one:McMurtry's anecdote builds credibility for his argument because it shows that he truly loves the sport and playing it as a kid he relished the game. But as he aged and as the game became more violent he became aware of the severity of the injuries sustained in the game.
Question two: McMurtry's comparison between war and footballs is not the First of its kind. But it certainly is convincing. It's very easy to see the football field as a battle field . The concept of crushing the enemy is applied to both activities.
Question four: McMurtry makes the comparison between the business world and the football world and how easy traits from one can be used for the other. In the business world it has come down to people who will do anything and step on anyone to be the best even if it means ruining someone's life. That's not exactly a trait you want transferring.
Question seven: of course it's important. People who don't care about football( like me) would completely agree with the argument. As opposed to those go are football fanatics and want to string McMurtry up by hi toes for even considering disapproval towards football. But McMurtry is very respectful and factual is his argument. He gives both sides and defends it well
Good job thinking it all out, your thought process is really similiar to mine! It's crazy just how many similarities there are between war and football! Addy p.
