    In its times, “Brian’s Song” was the most iconic made-for-TV movie. ABC strategically placed its premier, utilizing the concept of “flow” to cross-over their normal, stereotypical male Monday Night Football audience, towards the broad audience they were striving for their prime-time football games. Doing this allowed Monday Night Football to become a “consensual space”, thanks to the high viewing rates of the connecting film. These ideas worked with the themes of the movie to construct a positive vision towards the NFL. Raymond Williams’ concept of flow is demonstrated through the way ABC strategically premiered the movie “Brian’s Song”.…

    A commonality throughout professional football is that teams and their owners love new and enormous stadiums. In the 1950’s and the early days of professional football, stadiums were privately owned playing facilities designed to stay away from public finance (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). Soon enough, with the growth in popularity of football, it became more common for teams to utilize resources of the state and local government and build publicly funded facilities (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). NFL Teams can now “convince” the public to pay for the multi-million dollar facilities that they want even though it could have a negative impact on the community. Owners can do this by threatening to leave, expressing economic potential, and promoting the effects on team performance.…

(Ezell, 2013) The NFL’s own retirement board conducted research which lead to the correlation of Mike Webster playing football for 17 years and his now permanent and disabling brain damage and refused to release this information to the public until 2009.…
