17776: What Football Will Look :like in the Future by Jon Bois
5.0
Wow. I clicked on this because I saw on twitter a while back a link to it saying "this is the best writing I have ever seen." I figured I had the time to read a quick article, even one about sports.
Well, it wasn't that!
But honestly, this is one of the most incredible things I have read in a long time. 17776 is one of those works that plays with the idea of storytelling and medium, and also manages to play with tone a lot. It's very existential, but in a weirdly hopeful way.
17776 is a beautiful love letter to humanity, the universe, and above all else, the fascinating activity that is American football.
