  • Black Nfl Draft Prospects' Conceptions of Manhood
    DRAFTING INTO MANHOOD: BLACK NFL DRAFT PROSPECTS’ CONCEPTIONS OF MANHOOD AND IDEAS OF PLAYING IN THE NFL A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew D. Brown May 2015 Examining Committee Members: Molefi K. Asante, Advisory Chair, African American Studies Heather A. Thompson, African American Studies James Earl Davis, College of Education James L. Conyers, Jr., External Member, University of Houston © Copyright 2015 by Andrew Brown All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how manhood is conceptualized by Black National Football League (NFL) prospects and explores how their characterizations of manhood are associated with their desire to become NFL players. This mixed-method study uses data collected by interviewing and surveying fifteen Black NFL draft prospects who were or would be eligible for the NFL draft between 2005-2016. The data are supplemented with existing literature and analyzed using the “Utamaduni Bwana” table of African cultural manhood in order to (1) culturally locate participants’ conceptions of manhood, (2) identify the African elements within their conceptions of manhood, and (3) highlight the agency within their responses. In essence, this dissertation explores the significance of the NFL draft and the influence of colonization on Black NFL prospects’ conceptions of manhood. This study found that Black NFL prospects’ desire to reach the NFL is heavily associated with their attempt to reach manhood. The characteristics most commonly found in the participants’ conceptions of manhood are strength, independence, and financial success; and their perceptions of NFL players contain hyper-expressions of these same characteristics.

  • Bronx, Blacks, and the NFL
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 1 (1993) Bronx, Blacks, and the NFL by Victor Mastro and John Hogrogian The Bronx is one of the five boroughs which make up New York City. It is the only borough which is located on the mainland United States, as the other four are on islands in New York Harbor. The Bronx is home for Yankee Stadium and Fordham University. It formerly was home for the uptown campus of New York University, now gone. In the 1920's and 1930's, Fordham and NYU were football powers that sent several players into the pros. Staunchly middle-class in character, the Bronx now is also cursed with a plague of urban blight in its southern neighborhoods. Throughout its history, the Bronx has been ethnically and racially mixed, an incubator for upward mobility for people from everywhere. For the past sixty years, the Bronx has been the setting for many developments in the racial integration of the National Football League, Its fields, schools, and people have all played a role in the progress of the NFL away from its segregated past and into the diverse world of the 1990's. I The New York Brown Bombers Black players were a small but significant presence in the NFL during the 1920's. Players like Fritz Pollard, Duke Slater, and Inky Williams were stars in the league's first decade. By 1933, however, the number of black players in the NFL dwindled to two, halfback Joe Lillard of the Chicago Cardinals and tackle Ray Kemp of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 11, No. 5 (1989)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 11, No. 5 (1989) Not Only the Ball Was Brown BLACK PLAYERS IN MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL, 1933-46 by Bob Gill and Tod Maher As most of you know, between 1933, when Joe Lillard played for the Chicago Cardinals and Ray Kemp for Pittsburgh, and 1946, when Kenny Washington and Woody Strode joined the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL had an unofficial ban on black players. But back in the 1920s, a few blacks had indeed played in the NFL, some of them very well. That raises an interesting question: Where did comparable black players of the '30s go? Among its other virtues, Thomas Smith's fine article in the last Coffin Corner ("Outside the Pale") included short profiles of several blacks who starred on integrated college teams during the period. In passing, he also noted that more than one of them did play professional football (though he sometimes mislabels it "semi-pro") outside the NFL. There were black touring teams, occasional blacks playing on integrated teams, a couple of all-black teams playing in leagues with white clubs, and even one all-black league something like a lower-class version of baseball's Negro Leagues. We're going to take a look at just what was going on "outside the pale" in those days. The following article, by Tod Maher, concerns what Smith calls (correctly) "the most successful" all-black team of the period: the New York Brown Bombers. The Brown Bombers by Tod Maher 1933 was a notable year for the NFL. It was the first in which the league was divided into regional divisions.

  • Mick Foley Michael Francis "Mick" Foley Sr.[ (Born June 7, 1965) Is an American Retired Professional Wrestler, Writer, Color Commentator, Actor and Voice Actor
    Mick Foley Michael Francis "Mick" Foley Sr.[ (born June 7, 1965) is an American retired professional wrestler, writer, color commentator, actor and voice actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he is the current on-screen general manager of Raw. Foley is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers in the company's history. He has worked for many wrestling promotions, including World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), World Championship Wrestling(WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as numerous promotions in Japan. Foley has wrestled under his real name and various personas, including Dude Love, Cactus Jack, and Mankind, also known as the Three Faces of Foley. Foley is a four-time world champion (three WWF Championships and one TNA World Heavyweight Championship), an 11-time world tag team champion (eight WWF Tag Team Championships, two ECW World Tag Team Championships, and one WCW World Tag Team Championship), a one-time TNA Legends Champion, and the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion. Mick Foley formally trained at Dominic DeNucci's wrestling school in Freedom, Pennsylvania, driving several hours weekly from his college campus in Cortland, New York, and debuted in 1986. In addition to appearing on DeNucci's cards, Foley and several other students also took part in some squash matches as jobbers for WWF TV tapings of Prime Time Wrestling and Superstars of Wrestling, where Foley wrestled under the name, Jack Foley and Nick Foley. In one of these matches (the very first episode of Superstars), Foley and Les Thornton (another jobber) faced the British Bulldogs, during which the Dynamite Kid clotheslined Foley with such force that he was unable to eat solid food for several weeks.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Sporting
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Sporting Bodies, Displaying History: Black Embodiment and Performance in Contemporary Sports Films A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Samantha Noelle Sheppard 2014 © Copyright by Samantha Noelle Sheppard 2014 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Sporting Bodies, Displaying History: Black Embodiment and Performance in Contemporary Sports Films by Samantha Noelle Sheppard Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Kathleen McHugh, Co-Chair Professor Allyson Nadia Field, Co-Chair In this dissertation I analyze Black embodiment and performance in contemporary sports films, particularly through their documentary impulse, the gestures and markers through which these films establish their reference to real sporting and non-sporting bodies and histories. I argue that through this impulse, sports films make claims to an historical real, and they can therefore be explored for how they represent the Black sporting body. Though my project focuses primarily on fiction films, I begin by analyzing this impulse in a sports documentary for how it represents the performance and embodiment of the Black sporting body as an historical contestant. I then trace these strategies as they appear in and shape sports in fiction films, ii specifically through narratives of triumph and defeat, dissent, and gendered visibility. Throughout, I focus on and read the Black sporting body as a an individuated multiplicity which, through performance and embodiment, represents, references, and relates to Black sporting and non-sporting embodied histories and experiences. Sports films offer a privileged viewpoint on Black embodiment because of their high concentration of Black actors, one that mirrors representation in contemporary athletics.
