TRY TO FORGIVE one more piece and some personal reflections in the matter of Lisa Olson, the Boston Herald sportswriter whose embarrassment in the Patriots' locker room has generated so provocative and durable a publicity stunt.I was not motivated or otherwise good enough to play college football, but high school football was a definitive experience.To understand the locker room, even in high school, you must understand that football is not merely or even primarily a game. It is ritualized warfare.
