“I can’t quit college football. It’s like a bad boyfriend: you hate that he’s so right-wing, his table manners embarrass you, he’s barely read a book, and you don’t want your mother to meet him, but damn, he’s so fine and makes you feel so good (when he isn’t making you feel so bad), you just can’t help yourself.”
― Diane Roberts, Tribal: College Football and the Secret Heart of America – A Visceral and Funny Cultural History of Sports and Contradictions
