“(The Snap) hums with an all-too-familiar frustration with injustice. In the doubt and tension of her story, Staple recalls the moment in a game when a player is carted off the field after a bone-crushing collision. Are we allowed to enjoy this? Should the game still go on? An endorphin-fueled, heart-pounding sprint.”
