About this listen

For more than a decade, Brian Urlacher was the face of the Chicago Bears - one of the NFL’s most storied franchises. An eight-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker, Urlacher established himself as one of the league’s preeminent defenders with his athleticism, intelligence, and ferocity. He is widely expected to gain entrance into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he is eligible in a few years which is not bad for an athlete from Lovington, New Mexico, where his coaches did not even see college potential in him until his junior year of high school.

The Middle School Rules of Brian Urlacher features the real-life childhood stories and exploits of young Brian Urlacher and illustrate how they shaped him into the world-class athlete he became. The first of The Middle School Rules series, these books not only entertain, but also inspire greatness in the next generation by highlighting the importance of being your best, overcoming adversity, and reaching your dreams through discipline and hard work.

As a Progressive, English Atheist with absolutely no interest in team sports whatsoever, (let alone "Rugby, But With Body Armour,") the only way that I could be farther from this book's target demographic would be if I were a different gender, ethnicity or orientation. But even leaving that aside though, this is still an absolutely terrible attempt at storytelling with no stakes or apparent point of any kind beyond a middle-aged, white man yelling "Back In My Day" to try to get the young'uns to straighten up and fly right under the looming threat of violence. (AKA "Corporal Punishment.") Because my Sister in Satan, if the only stories that you have to tell from your childhood are about how you used to be small and bad at sports, but then you became a professional athlete because you worked hard, didn't make excuses and finished what you started, then congratulations on your Straight, White, Male, Christian Privilege. And although it would mean that every children's book based on real life would be as utterly pointless as this one, I genuinely wish that (aside from the violence and threat of violence which the adults in this book present as "Discipline,") absolutely every childhood was this privileged and as uneventful as well.
