We Own This Game

In "We Own This Game," journalist Robert Andrew Powell provides an in-depth look at the intense world of Pop Warner football in Miami, where young players often navigate a landscape filled with high stakes, ambition, and local fame. Following two teams—the struggling Liberty City Warriors and the undefeated Palmetto Raiders—Powell explores themes of innocence, corruption, and the dreams of parents who hope for NFL stardom for their children. The narrative sheds light on the socio-political dynamics of youth sports, capturing the thrill and heartache that define competition in America's poorest neighborhoods.
