  • "The Olympics Don't Take American Express"
    “…..and the Olympics didn’t take American Express” Chapter One: How ‘Bout Those Cowboys I inherited a predisposition for pain from my father, Ron, a born and raised Buffalonian with a self- mutilating love for the Buffalo Bills. As a young boy, he kept scrap books of the All American Football Conference’s original Bills franchise. In the 1950s, when the AAFC became the National Football League and took only the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and Baltimore Colts with it, my father held out for his team. In 1959, when my father moved the family across the country to San Jose, California, Ralph Wilson restarted the franchise and brought Bills’ fans dreams to life. In 1960, during the Bills’ inaugural season, my father resumed his role as diehard fan, and I joined the ranks. It’s all my father’s fault. My father was the one who tapped his childhood buddy Larry Felser, a writer for the Buffalo Evening News, for tickets. My father was the one who took me to Frank Youell Field every year to watch the Bills play the Oakland Raiders, compliments of Larry. By the time I had celebrated Cookie Gilcrest’s yardage gains, cheered Joe Ferguson’s arm, marveled over a kid called Juice, adapted to Jim Kelly’s K-Gun offense, got shocked by Thurman Thomas’ receptions, felt the thrill of victory with Kemp and Golden Wheels Dubenion, and suffered the agony of defeat through four straight Super Bowls, I was a diehard Bills fan. Along with an entourage of up to 30 family and friends, I witnessed every Super Bowl loss.

Crawford Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2017 It Wasn’t a Revolution, but it was Televised: The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act Denis M. Crawford I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Denis M. Crawford, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Donna DeBlasio, Committee Member Date Dr. Thomas Leary, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This thesis aims to provide historical context for the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 which allowed professional sports teams to collectively negotiate television contracts and equally share in the revenues. According to Immanuel Wallerstein, the state crafting legislation to allow an anticompetitive business practice is an example of a basic contradiction of capitalism being reconciled. Researching the development of the SBA unveils two historically significant narratives. The first is the fact that antitrust legislator Emanuel Celler crafted the act with the intent of providing the National Football League competition although the act unintentionally aided the formation of a professional football monopoly. The other is that the act legalized a collectivist business practice in a time of anticommunist fervor and was written by a legislator with well-documented anticommunist credentials.

    Cover: Layla, a child living in Kara Tepe Refugee Camp in Lesvos, Greece, learns Greek, English and mathematics at METAdrasi’s non-formal education center. Love one another, for that is the whole law; so our fellow men deserve to be loved and encouraged— never to be abandoned to wander alone... From the Last Will and Testament of Conrad N. Hilton HONORING A Since the launch of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize in 1996, the Conrad N. FRONTLINE Hilton Foundation has received thousands of nominations for the Prize, which remains REFUGEE the largest of its kind in the world. Each nomination tells the story of an extraordinary ORGANIZATION organization doing courageous work that is focused on the alleviation of human suffering. And each year, our independent, international Hilton Humanitarian Prize jury selects one of these organizations to receive the $2 million award. From providing pathways out of poverty in Nairobi, Kenya, to solving key public health problems across the globe, the 24 Hilton Humanitarian Prize Laureates have been identified as organizations worthy of the world’s attention. We learn so much from our Prize Laureates, as they provide us with exceptional examples of how we can better address the needs of the communities we serve. We are delighted to award this year’s Hilton Humanitarian Prize to METAdrasi – Action for Migration and Development. METAdrasi supports the reception and integration of refugees and migrants in Greece where approximately 80,000 refugees currently reside—of which over 4,100 are unaccompanied children. The selection of METAdrasi by the Prize jury calls attention to both a global humanitarian crisis and the power of local organizations to develop innovative solutions to complex problems.

  • The American Football League Attendance, 1960-69
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) THE AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE ATTENDANCE, 1960-69 By Bob Carroll Most of what's been written about the "war" between the National Football League and the American Football League during the 1960's focuses on player signings. The account of strategies used by both league in obtaining the signatures of young players on often overly-lucrative contracts sometimes reads like a cloak-and-dagger thriller. Were these football players or nuclear weapons? Nevertheless, as entertaining as the war stories are, they represent only one theater of operations. Of equal -- in fact, greater -- importance was the AFL's struggle to get its attendance up to NFL level. With adequate game attendance, the AFL could sign its share of hotshot collegians, demand a TV contract on a par with the older leagues, and, most important, eventually bring about a merger of the two circuits. What follows is a brief look at the figures. 1960 TOT.ATT GAMES AVG POSTSEASON GAMES ----- --------- ----- ------ ------ ----- NFL 3,128,296 78 40,106 67,325 1 AFL 926,156 56 16,538 32,183 1 AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE -TEAMS TEAM RECORD FIN.

This man set the NFL record for most interceptions thrown in a rookie season with 28; luckily, it led to his team being able to draft a Pro Bowl running back with the fourth overall pick. In 2015, this player posted a 0.0 passer rating against the Kansas CIty Chiefs, but he did manage to pass Brett Favre on the all time passing yards leaderboard, and this ​ quarterback also set the single season record for touchdown passes the year before with 55.
