This week's issue of The New Yorker magazine features a fascinating piece by Malcom Gladwell on the dangers and questions raised by this question: How different are football and dogfighting?
We would like you to try and read it by next Friday, October 23 - no need to print it out if you can read it online.
Malcom also participated in a Chat Forum on the article and the transcript is also on the New Yorker website. In addition there is an audio slide show. In this audio slide show, Gladwell discusses the traumatic brain injuries suffered by football linemen and other ex-athletes, and the inherent dangers of contact sports.
