Orientador: Dr. César Augusto Barcellos Guazzelli Porto Alegre 2011 AGRADECIMENTOS Quero agradecer a todos aqueles que, de alguma forma, contribuíram para a minha graduação e para que este trabalho fosse possível. Em primeiro lugar, aos professores do curso de História da UFRGS, pelas aulas, ensinamentos e indicações, contribuindo de forma essencial para a minha formação acadêmica. Em especial, aos membros da banca avaliadora, por sua disponibilidade, e ao professor César A. B. Guazzelli, pela orientação e apoio a esta pesquisa. Quero dedicar este trabalho aos meus familiares, em especial a meus pais, José Paulo e Adriane, e a meu irmão, Gabriel, pelo apoio e incentivo que sempre me deram. Por fim, mas de modo algum menos importante, aos meus amigos, pela motivação, companheirismo e pela valiosa, duradoura e sincera amizade, sem a qual este trabalho não seria possível. A função do jogo (...) pode ser definida pelos dois aspectos fundamentais que nele encontramos: uma luta por alguma coisa ou a representação de alguma coisa (HUIZINGA, 1971, p. 16). RESUMO O esporte é um importante campo de manifestação e reprodução das relações humanas e, como tal, acaba por deixar entrever na sua prática diversos elementos intrínsecos aos indivíduos que o praticam e à sua sociedade. Além disso, o estudo da história da formação, da introdução e da popularização de certas práticas esportivas pode suscitar reflexões acerca de características mais específicas e profundas do desenvolvimento histórico de determinada sociedade. Nesse sentido, este esforço de pesquisa tem como enfoque a análise de manifestações esportivas da sociedade estadunidense, trabalhando com elementos dos três esportes mais populares daquele país, a saber, o futebol americano, o baseball e o basquete. Tendo em vista as peculiaridades do desenvolvimento e consolidação institucional da prática desses esportes naquela sociedade, o objetivo central aqui é tentar perceber de que formas determinadas visões do passado histórico norte-americano são apropriadas e ressignificadas, na construção de toda uma simbologia relacionada a determinado clube, na intenção, por exemplo, de estabelecer uma relação de maior identificação com o público de determinada localidade. Assim, percebe-se a princípio a referência a elementos de dois grandes temas históricos, na busca por esta identificação com o passado: a história da expansão para o Oeste e a questão da Independência das treze colônias. Ao mesmo tempo, porém de forma mais pontual, também se pode perceber a vinculação com temáticas relacionadas ao desenvolvimento histórico, econômico e cultural em um plano mais regional, local.

Além disso, o estudo da história da formação, da introdução e da popularização de certas práticas esportivas pode suscitar reflexões acerca de características mais específicas e profundas do desenvolvimento histórico de determinada sociedade. Tendo-se em vista estas considerações, este trabalho tem como enfoque a análise de manifestações esportivas da sociedade estadunidense, envolvendo elementos, essencialmente os logotipos dos clubes, de três esportes muito característicos daquele país, a saber, o futebol americano, o baseball e o basquete. Vislumbrando no horizonte as peculiaridades do desenvolvimento e a consolidação institucional da prática desses esportes naquela sociedade, serão analisados aqui aqueles elementos que busquem fazer referência a acontecimentos, a indivíduos e a determinados contextos marcantes da história dos Estados Unidos da América. Para tal, serão considerados apenas os clubes das grandes ligas de cada um dos referidos esportes, a National Football League (NFL), a Major League Baseball (MLB) e a National Basketball Association (NBA)2. Compostas respectivamente por 32, 30 e 30 clubes, foram analisados mais especificamente aqui aqueles que de um modo mais direto fazem, ou fizeram, referência ao passado histórico norte-americano, de modo a obter uma maior delimitação dentro da perspectiva proposta. Mas por que a escolha desses três esportes? Em primeiro lugar porque estes são muito próprios, muito peculiares dos Estados Unidos. O baseball, conforme aponta Richard Powers3, é a sua “mais antiga e (...) mais completa forma de cultura esportiva popular”. Desenvolvido a partir de um antigo jogo de origem inglesa, o “passatempo nacional”, como foi chamado, passou a ser praticado por clubes amadores elitizados desde a década de 1820, adquirindo grande popularidade nos anos seguintes com a constituição de clubes de 1 BANN, Stephen.

América: Aspectos geopolíticos, culturais e sociais nos EUA. Rio de Janeiro: Nórdica, 1989. P.224-241. 7 trabalhadores e pela prática popular. Com a elaboração de “um mito de origem puramente americano”, no qual o baseball teria surgido em Cooperstown, Nova York, e com a organização das primeiras equipes e ligas profissionais e semiprofissionais, a partir das décadas de 1860 e 1870, o baseball se configura como o jogo norte-americano por excelência4. Pode-se argumentar que há uma prática difundida do baseball por países da América Latina e no Japão, porém não com uma liga com a expressão, a força, e a tradição histórica da Major League Baseball; tradição essa consolidada no imaginário e na cultura popular ao longo da primeira metade do século XX, com a emergência ao longo do tempo de grandes lendas do esporte: a grande final no World Series, a dinastia do New York Yankees, a quebra da barreira racial com Jackie Robinson, e grandes mitos como Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth e Joe DiMaggio. Também o football, como seu nome em português aponta, é um esporte profundamente “americano”, sendo notável a ausência de um campeonato em nível competitivo em qualquer outro país. Desenvolvido a partir de adaptações do nosso futebol (ou soccer) e do rúgbi inglês, nos centros universitários norte-americanos ao longo do século XIX, sendo disputado entre universidades a partir da década de 1860, passou a compor parte do panteão dos esportes americanos a partir da constituição das primeiras ligas profissionais, ainda muito precárias e pouco populares, a partir da década de 19205. Mas foi na década de 1960, com a atuação de personagens como Pete Rozelle (comissário da National Fooball League), Al Davis e Lamar Hunt (donos de clubes da American Football League), e que culminou na junção das duas grandes ligas profissionais da época, que o futebol americano desponta como o grande esporte dos Estados Unidos. Isto se deu, em parte, é verdade, ao seu dinamismo quando comparado ao baseball, vital para o sucesso na era da televisão6. A partir de então, também o football elege seus grandes mitos, como a grande final da NFL de 1958 (o chamado “the best game ever played”), o primeiro Super Bowl, grandes jogadores, passado por nomes como Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, e chegando até o mais contemporâneo Jerry Rice, além de toda uma gama de tradições muito próprias. É fato conhecido, mas nem por isso deixa de ser extraordinário notar, que o dia da final do campeonato da NFL, o Super Bowl, é praticamente considerado um feriado nacional, sendo este o evento esportivo televisionado de 4 POWERS, Richard G. op. cit. p.226-227; RADER, Benjamin G.
