On a crisp autumn day in 2012, the unthinkable happened in the small town of Steubenville, Ohio. A young woman was brutally raped by two high school football players. The crime sent shockwaves through the community and ignited a national conversation about sexual assault, victim blaming, and the role of sports in society.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, journalist Mike Stanton traveled to Steubenville to report on the story. What he found was a community that was both shattered and resilient. The people of Steubenville were determined to heal and to find a way to move forward. And at the heart of their recovery was the Big Red football team.

The Big Red is more than just a football team. It is a symbol of hope and pride for the people of Steubenville. The team's success on the field gives the community a sense of purpose and accomplishment. And the team's players are role models for the young people of Steubenville, showing them that it is possible to overcome adversity and achieve great things.

Life, Death, and Football in an American City is a beautifully written and deeply moving account of a community's journey through tragedy and healing. Stanton's writing is both compassionate and unflinching, and he paints a vivid portrait of the people of Steubenville and their struggle to come to terms with the unthinkable.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the human spirit and the power of sports to bring people together. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the indomitable spirit that resides within us all.
