Robert Turner has written an incredibly substantive and thoroughly researched book about the NFL life and career from the athlete’s perspective. Turner has the inside track of being a former pro footballer with the USFL, CFL and briefly with the NFL. As importantly, Turner is a Ph.D sociologist who does serious research and reporting in this book. He develops an analysis of the cultural milieu of the NFL player – mainly emphasizing the Black NFL player. It seems like this book is an outcome of his Ph.D dissertation work, but he has made it very accessible for readers.The book paints a picture that offers myriad insights into the NFL life and the football life that precedes it in high school and college. It also focuses on post-NFL life for many players. Turner includes several profiles of players that explore the journey from high school to college and then to the NFL along with post-NFL stories. Throughout the book, Turner provides his own reflections and thoughts.I am nothing more than a fan of football and sports in general. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it thought provoking, and I sometimes agreed and other times didn’t. The author challenged some of my own beliefs and attitudes about people, and I think his writing definitely brought about some change in the way I look at these topics.While Turner obviously maintains great affection and affinity for football and the NFL, he often seems to write with a bias against the NFL as part of the “sports industrial complex” – that is an overarching network that uses sports for profit at the expense of the athletes who are dehumanized and often exploited to serve the vast empire. This point of view leads to a posture that seems to take a sympathetic and sometimes even pathetic view of football players as victims of this vast complex.It seems that Turner writes as if NFL players and really all black football players from high school, college and NFL are taken advantage of and practically forced into this football mill and spit out. There is a neglect of discussing their choice and freedom to play or not play. The book also doesn’t compare football to other sports or jobs. Football is not unique in being performance driven and competitive among sports or high reward careers. It is unique in the amount of physical suffering and that is definitely a price that is paid. With the NFL, the risk / reward are greater than perhaps any industry that is as well-known and sought after. And it is true that no position is safe and that little or no loyalty appears to exist by NFL teams to players.The author seems to bemoan the lack of opportunities for ex NFL players in the “sports-industrial complex” but also seems to bemoan a huge industry that has sprung up in the arena of personal coaching and intense sports training for youth. It seems like within this vast football-related industry there would be plenty of opportunities for former college or NFL players. However, I agree with the author that the NFL should do more to help former players find careers in the NFL and related industries.On one hand, the author cites the many hardships of college players and promotes the need for an NFL developmental minor leagues like baseball has; however, I imagine if that were the case then the author might find reasons to object and criticize it for luring athletes away from a free college education. The fact is that in sports like baseball many players forgo the college scholarship to chase the major league dream and fall short and are left with no payout and no college.It is a huge burden for athletes at high profile colleges, but it is also what they have worked hard to achieve, so I don’t think their dilemma warrants real sympathy, especially since it is by choice. The institution cannot be responsible for the players’ decisions or for lack of preparation or the poor life decisions they make once in college. It seems like the real essence of the sociological problem is rooted in the family and social context of the players. The football world has its pros and cons, good and evil, caregivers and manipulators just like the rest of the world.The NFL “is a form of modern day slavery,” said the player who had received over $2 million in bonus money. Unfortunately, I think, the author seems to support this statement and lets it linger unchallenged as an apparent thesis for a chapter. That chapter follows a lengthy argument about how the NFL is thoroughly merit based. Whether a free agent or a drafted star, if they don’t perform they will be replaced. The author has really asserted that teams don’t care who or what you are and will replace you for a better player at a better price. The idea that it is modern day slavery demolishes any substantive arguments. The author writes that 6% of the US population are black males, yet 70% of the NFL players are black. Is racist and slavish? A black player Vonte Davis just retired at halftime from the NFL last week…Slaves can’t do that. This is very much a serious book on the Ph.D. level. For it to be taken seriously, I think it has to take a more balanced view that looks more at both sides of the arguments.There is no doubt racist elements exists in all areas of society. The NFL is no different; however, I believe statements like the one above need to be challenged or left out of the book. Modern day slavery is Christian girls being kidnapped by Boka Haram and held as sex slaves! Or people being trafficked against their will. It is not finding that your dream is more difficult and not all that you imagined it would be while being paid a handsome salary and having the freedom to quit and walk away at anytime. To equate the NFL with slavery undermines discussion about the very real problems in the league.The author exudes a genuine care and concern for football players. The topics he addresses and has researched are those that need to be priorities for NFL and college football. Turner hits on how little the NFL accesses former players to provide mentoring and counsel to prospective and current players. Why wouldn’t each team have a “life” advisor for its players that would help them plan for life during and after football. I think the NFL would do well to invite more input and consultation from Turner regarding ways to improve the league’s care for its main “commodity,” the players.For another view of the NFL, I recommend the following recent books: "It's Not Because I'm Better than You" by NFL player Don Carey, "Push" by former college and pro player and Olympic Bobsledder Johnny Quinn, "Gridiron Genius" by Michael Lombardi and "The Mannings" by Lars Anderson.

Author Robert W Turner dose an outstanding job of taking the reader inside football and the dystopian NCAA/NFL influence that pervades it. Although he sides w/the players in everyway; other authors, like Brain Tuohy, The Fix Is In, describe Hall of Fame players as criminals, addicts, and gamblers. Both authors agree that the owners care more about profits than winning. Brain Tuohy says that championships aren't won on the basis of hard work or rising to the occasion, but perhaps because games are fixed.All this to say that I don't agree on all points of view the author expresses in his work titled Not For Long[NFL average career 3.1 years], but his work is exemplary in digging into the player's culture and their battle for fairness in the cartel's industrial strength inequality expressed in owner versus player arena.There are many facts that pepper this book bringing home the stark inequalities that pervade throughout the cartel's empire/Between 2006 and 2013, the average salary for an NCAA FBS[football series] head coach increased by 70% - a rate that outpaced the much-maligned compensation of corporate executives. This while many these coach's players scrounged for pennies tip-toeing through the numerous fascist[Big Business/Big Government]NCAA IUD explosive regulations regarding money and student athletes. By requiring that a student athlete performs well on the field and in the classroom, behaves well, and stays financially secure enough to survive w/o needing an income source, the NCAA demonstrates gross insensitivity to the needs of those athletes in socially and economically vulnerable populations. At the end of the each season, a coach can refuse to renew a player's athletic financial aid for any reason whatsoever. The point the author continually drives home by laying out the conditions under which players climb towards an NFL career is: the more an athlete is discouraged from thinking critically and challenging the status quo, the more likely they are to become dependent on the institution.This is a poignant theme that underlines the NFL/NCAA cartel's brutal signature throughout this well researched, well written, and thoughtful work.
