I crushed him with the hit  held on to him  and crushed him again when I slammed him into the ground . . . I had arrived.  Arlo Brodie loves being at the heart of the action on the football field  getting hit hard and hitting back harder. Thats where he belongs  leading his team to championships  becoming Starlo on his way to the top. Arlos dad cheers him on  but his mother quotes head injury statistics and refuses to watch games. Arlos girlfriend tries to make him see how dangerously hes playing; when that doesnt work  she calls time out on their relationship. Even Arlos coaches begin to track his hit count  ready to pull him off the field when he nears the limit. But Arlos not worried about tallying collisions. The winning plays  the cheering crowds  and the adrenaline rush are enough to convince Arlo that everything is OKin spite of the pain  the pounding  the dizziness  and the confusion.  Hit Count explores Americas love affair with football and our attempts to reconcile the clear evidence of its dangers with our passion for the game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648013590581,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616202505","price":71.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616202507.jpg?v=1781706394","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/hit-count-9781616202507","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
