Talk:Richard Von Albade Gammon

Contradictory accounts of incident
The article quotes from one source (the book "Football Days" https://books.google.com/books?id=_fmBAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA244&lpg=PA244), indicating that Gammon was communicative and then later collapsed on the sideline. However another one of the article's sources (Univ. System of Georgia (usg.edu) link) indicates he did not speak, and was carried to the sidelines. If there is no evidence to suggest which of these sources is accurate, I suggest the article acknowledge the contradictory accounts, or skip those (alleged) details. Other sources (not in the article) that may lead to further sources include http://blog.dlg.galileo.usg.edu/?p=2921 and http://news.blog.myajc.com/2015/10/29/117-years-ago-georgia-football-almost-died/ (The Atlanta newspaper quotes its next-day article from its own archives, indicating he was "picked up dazed and half unconscious. … He soon became unconscious…"   I would prefer to find the original 1897 newspaper article, but I haven't.) The quotes taken from the book appear to be typical hyperbole of the era, intended to glorify an individual or event. That's fine if that's understood, but not if portrayed as fact when other sources give a different story. MabryTyson (talk) 07:35, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
