Down in the hole
This is a little story about a top high school football recruit whose life seems to be falling apart for all too common reasons. Of course you can multiply this story by literally a million similar, but completely invisible cases. The only reason anybody will ever hear about him or try to do anything about it is that he appears to have NFL-level talent.
The fourth season of The Wire is probably the best TV show I’ve ever seen, but I’m not going to watch it a second time.
