Introducing Don Aretino

“With inspiration taken from a 1987 academic paper by California Berkeley anthropologist Alan Dundes titled, “Into the End Zone for a Touchdown: A Psychoanalytic Consideration of American Football” this collection by Don Aretino emphasizes on a sarcastic view of this masculine sport. A discussion of how the language of football and its goals are reflective of sex and mirrors homoerotic gestures, where this ritualistic game of male initiation is a manifestation of both physical and cultural masculine values.
