    • Quotes

      [Teller, wearing a high school letter jacket, plays on a computer while a group of students and cheerleaders cheer him on]

      Self - Host: Next time you feel like worrying about fake violent video games, try a little gedankenexperiment: imagine that video games were invented 100 years *before* football. Picture school video game teams and uniforms and hot-ass cheerleaders with big, bouncing pom-poms. Now imagine after 100 years of extracurricular video game fun, *football* is invented and introduced to schools. Thousands of kids get real, no kidding, no fantasy, no make-believe broken knees, legs, ankles, cervical trauma, heatstroke, and concussions!

      [Throughout Penn's injury list, the crowd quiets, eventually becoming totally silent]

      Self - Host: What would parents do? From 1931 to 2007, 650 kids *died*... from injuries they suffered playing football. This is not video game violence - this is *real* violence done to *real* children by other real children, all encouraged by schools and society. Every parent worries about his or her kids; every adult worries about all children, but you need to pick what you think is worth worrying about.
