It might appear as if though at his last moments of life he would have called for help, but I believe he would have not.

    Sports is a big aspect of high school life, especially the sport of football. The films The Blind Side, Remember the Titans, and Friday Night Lights, all revolve around the sport of football and how it manages to change the lives of the athletes.
