Playing QB in VR with a real ball
(also available in video essay format)
I love American football. I love watching Saquon Barkley hurdle a man backwards. I love watching Lamar Jackson stiff-arm a 250lb defensive end as he makes an off-platform touchdown throw.
It kind of makes me want to play, until I remember how much I enjoy my ligaments and ribs.
As a 25-year old man who can at best be described as moderately athletic, I have to accept my chances at a Natty or a Super Bowl ring are miniscule.
