  • Ryan King-White Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BASEBALL, CITIZENSHIP, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN GEORGE W. BUSH’S AMERICA Ryan Edward King‐White, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor David L. Andrews Department of Kinesiology The four separate, but related, studies within this research project seek to offer a critical understanding for how American national identit(ies), and particular forms of (cultural) citizenship are discursively constructed and performed in and through the sport of baseball. More specifically, this dissertation will utilize and expand upon critical theories of neoliberalism, citizenship, whiteness, and (physical) cultural studies to engage various empirical sites, which help provide the context for everyday life in contemporary America. Each chapter looks at various empirical aspects of the Little League World Series and the fans of the Boston Red Sox (popularly referred to as Red Sox Nation) that have historically privileged particular performances and behaviors often associated with white, American, heterosexual, upper‐middle class, masculine subject‐positions. In the first instance this project also attempts to describe how ‘normalized’ American citizenship is being (re)shaped in and through the sport of baseball. Secondly, I aim to critically evaluate claims made by both Little League Baseball, and the Boston Red Sox organization, in response to (popular) criticisms (Bryant, 20002; Mosher, 2001a, 2001b, 2001c) of regressive activity and behavior historically related to their organizations, that they

  • The Law Firm Barasch Mcgarry Has Provided Consistent Advocacy for Workers, Students, Residents and First Responders Who Have
    The law firm Barasch McGarry has provided consistent advocacy for workers, students, residents and first responders who have become seriously ill from exposure in Lower Manhattan to 9/11 toxins. Having advocated for over 10,000 who are already sick, some still awaiting 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) certification, the firm’s statistical database contained findings of a dangerous medical anomaly. It found at least a 1,000% higher male breast cancer cluster, among men exposed to the air in Lower Manhattan. Armed with these alarming facts, Butler Associates deployed a strategic communications campaign that reached many millions via network television, radio, print, digital and social communications. Butler Associates began conducting research, shaping narratives and interviewing men stricken with or recovering from the exceptionally rare form of cancer. The men spoke passionately of having to overcome the “macho stigma” of contracting what they always understood to be a disease impacting women. That stigma often results in denial and men often wait until it is too late to seek medical diagnosis and treatment. According to medical findings, only about 1-in-100,000 U.S. males will ever be stricken by breast cancer. Given a total estimated 9/11 community reaching just 400,000, this suggests that at the maximum, only four cases, if every single member of the 9/11 community were of the male gender. At the launch of the campaign, prior to the 17th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the group consisted of 15 men. The victims participating agreed to tell their own personal stories of discovering their illness, the stages of denial, fear and delay in seeking medical help, eventual acceptance, treatment and the importance of emotional and peer counseling to help with their recovery.

  • “We Have Breaking News” the First Plane
    CHAPTER 1 “We Have Breaking News” The First Plane “‘Man, he’s really low’” Eric Shawn, Senior Correspondent, Fox News Channel, New York Since the morning was so bright and crisp, I caught a bus down Fifth Avenue instead of taking the subway. I thought I would be spend- ing the day investigating a new and curious development with TWA Flight 800. It had been five years since a fuel-tank explosion brought the plane down just off Long Island, but a nagging mystery had sur- faced, which I intended to investigate. After I got off the bus on Fifth Avenue near Fifty-first Street, I heard the echo of a jet—louder than usual, closer than expected. Its 7 8 “We Have Breaking News” sudden appearance caused a few of us on the street to crane our necks toward the sky. It was heading south. As the plane passed over me I thought, “Man, he’s really low.” “Loud, low, and very determined” Tom Flynn, Producer, CBS News, New York As I sat in my garden in Greenwich Village, having coffee, reading the paper, ready to go to work, I heard what seemed to be an airplane. It was loud, low, and very determined. You know the sound of a plane that’s trying to save itself: it whines and screeches. There was none of that with this plane. “Sounded really close” Joan Fleischer, Account Executive, WINS-AM, New York I was up on the roof of my six-story apartment building in Tribeca with my dog. I was really relaxed, peaceful, sort of daydreaming, soak- ing up the rays, and enjoying this time when I heard an incredibly loud plane that sounded really close.
