Called - Dr. Chris Schlect - American Football & Culture
"In a riveting plenary session, Dr. Chris Schlect unpacks the dramatic transformation of American football, revealing how the sport's brutal legacy sparked calls for reform. He delves into the paradox of virtue versus rules, showing how the relentless pursuit of profit has overshadowed ethical considerations. The 1960s rule changes aimed to curb violence but reflected a deeper cultural shift where Pharisees and Libertines thrived, prioritizing regulations over morality. Schlect’s exploration transcends mere sports history, illustrating how football mirrors the evolution of American identity and societal values, challenging us to reconsider the broader implications of our cultural narratives." from the Video introduction
