“The vast majority - 98.4 percent - of college football players in the U.S. with aspirations to play professional football never get that opportunity.”
James R. Wallen, Gridiron Underground: Black American Journeys in Canadian Football

Andrew Maraniss
“It meant that I and every other woman I knew had been living a lie, and all the doctors who treated us and the experts who studied us were perpetuating that lie, and our homes and schools and churches and politics and professions were built around that lie," she (Betty Friedan) wrote. "If women were really people -- no more, no less -- then all the things that kept them from being full people in our society would have to be changed. And women, once they broke through the feminine mystique and took themselves seriously as people, would see their place on a false pedestal, even their glorification as sexual objects, for the putdown it was.”
Andrew Maraniss, Inaugural Ballers: The True Story of the First US Women's Olympic Basketball Team

“It is a common error to assume that the lack of a formal education means that shoemakers, weavers, peasants or indigenous peoples cannot be intellectuals. We may even find it difficult to believe that they could acquire a significant book collection, let alone be interested in or engage in philosophy or pass on proper knowledge, not just ‘culture’ or ‘traditions,’ to others. Such a misunderstanding excludes many people from history because it assumes they can have no impact on history, or even be affected by it.
