Jessup as a football player is really torn between sort of the worlds of his family and the world of school. You know, on the football field, his brothers are both white and black, and he has a black girlfriend. And yet, when he goes home, he's encouraged to worship at this place that believes that blacks should be with blacks, Jews should be with Jews and whites should be with whites. And it's really an impossible situation, particularly in a town as small as Cortaca.
