Twilight’s Last Glory by Stephen C. Perkins

In the future, America’s favorite game will be used to control the world…
It is the year 2030 and football has become a global past time. But just like in the days of Rome and the Gladiators, the game is being used by a shadow organization called the Octagonal, not merely for profit, but to subdue the masses – and therefore, control the world.
As the game grows more violent, the more the masses flock to it, bringing phenomenal profits to the Octagonal. But the players are now at risk.
A doctor comes up with a brilliant idea – put the consciousness of players into robots through artificial intelligence. Avatars to replace human players as the Octagonal continues to feed society’s hunger and fascination with violence.
Its all about the money and the fix is in.
Where will it all end?
