Miller believes that they don’t understand the importance of football as a sport because they only see it for its negative statistics. The people who want to ban football because they don’t give a chance. They just speak on how violent the sport is, while also lacking even the slightest knowledge of the actual topic at hand. This is why Miller calls all of them ignorant because they talk about how many major injuries that players can receive from the ‘violent sport,’ while also forgetting that players willingly sign concussion sheets. This means that players know that they could possibly be harmed, but that’s with any sport.

Samuel Johnson once said, “The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.” Few things are more delicate than hope.

The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
