Abbreviated Thought
Chess positions listed in order of point value; football positions listed in order that they appear on this ESPN roster page:
Chess Notation
K (King) |
Football Notation
QB (Quarterback) |
In contrast with the rigidly hierarchical feudal class system found in chess pieces, the positions in football are far more functionalist in label, which serves to obscure the military-industrial political economy they model.
Once the most venerable position in these accelerating games of political economy, K ironically becomes one of derision, a scarlet letter on the extended skins of team jackets around the nation.
