About this Quote

In this quote, Curt Flood is revealing his frustration with the method individuals typically blog about sports as if it exists in a vacuum, different from the larger societal context. He believes that his own story, most likely one of battle and misfortune, can not be totally understood without thinking about the more comprehensive environment in which it happened. Flood is challenging the concept that sports can be divorced from the social, political, and cultural forces that form it. He is advocating for a more nuanced and holistic method to comprehending the function of sports in our lives.
