The last of The Angry Men

I read the Article the last angry men by Rick Telander.  Its about the greatest linebacker in football history.  Dick Butkus.  It was once said that his goal was to hit the ball carrier so hard that his head came off.  Butkus was like a caged animal. In one of his games against St. Luis in 1970, he picked up four personal fouls.  Butkus was tired of all the people in Beverly Hills talking about things that would put pressure on him. He said, "im tired of all this beverly hills crap."
          The real question was, where was he from?  Oviously he was from Chicago.  But what made him who he is today?  Just like every other linebacker they were brought up playing rough with friends and family.  Certainly genetics also play apart in helping making up a true linebacker.  Real linebackers only focus on nailing people and they are proud to be called animals. Its not anger that drives Dick, but desire to play the game as he plays the most "badass" position on the field. As Butkus said, "violence can resolve ambivalence and uncertainty, and who doesnt crave certainty in life?". You need to punish the bad which shows them who is boss.
         To me, I like this article because it tells what being a linebacker is from a linebackers perspective. A good linebacker.  It shows what they think about their positions and how they are brought up.  This article tells the art of how really the position is visioned as.
