Hi everyone,
I need some help with the following :
"I wanted to win because I liked winning, but also because I liked walking into the field house with Mom and my younger sister, Casey, after the game and smelling the sweaty, foam-rubber scent of victory."
The narrator is the football coach's daughter. My question is: what is she referring to in the "foam-rubber" part? I understand the "sweaty" part, with men obviously sweating after playing a football game, but why talk about "foam-rubber" here? I'm confused... Any help would be highly appreciated
