“Are you coming with me?” She couldn’t quite place him but he greeted her as an old friend, unfazed by her lack of reciprocation.

The scene that causes the main character, Viola Davis, to dress up as her twin brother, is when her girls’ soccer team was cut from the school’s program because not…

The latter half of the nineteenth century was a pivotal time for the growth of football. A lot of what occurred set the grounds for the success of…
