HBO's Breaking The Huddle:The Integration of CFB

[dcpony]

Don't know if this has been mentioned on the board. I saw this documentary the other day and a significant portion of it covers SMU and Jerry Levias. There's a point in the doc where Levias is almost brought to tears when he talks about his last game against TCU. A TCU player spit in his face after he tackled him and after the play Levias walked over to Coach Fry and told him had enough and quit. Coach Fry convinced him not to so Levias went out on the next kick-off and returned it for a touchdown.

Fry called the return "Babe Ruth like"

Here's Levias take on the touchdown:

"That's the worst touchdown because it broke me," LeVias says. "I did it out of hate, not for the love of the game. And that hate kind of carried me on a little bit and changed my whole personality. That's the first time I've ever really hated white people. I think it crippled me. I'm still healing. Still healing 40 years later."

I say that doc. He is still hurting. It's too bad for him he was and is a great person.

What happened to it was "a different and better era in American culture" argument?
