  • Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction?
    Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Glen ME Duerr Department of History and Government Cedarville University 104 HRS, 251 N. Main Street Cedarville, Ohio, USA 45314 [email protected] RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 1 Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Abstract This paper examines the interrelated issues of time and money in club and international football. Specifically, the focus is on small Caribbean countries and territories that are rich in talent, but poor in opportunities. In the past decade, several professional teams in the Caribbean have played in the minor league system in North America, but have been stifled by several factors. This paper argues that the creation of a ‘Caribbean division’ that plays in either the North American Soccer League (NASL) or United Soccer League (USL)-Pro league would enrich and develop teams and players from all parties involved, and they would be more competitive in FIFA World Cup qualifying. The key ingredient is correctly timing such a venture. Keywords: Caribbean, soccer, North America, USL-Pro, NASL RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 2 Introduction Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the regional governing body of soccer in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, sends three and a half teams to the quadrennial FIFA World Cup. The fourth-placed CONCACAF team plays a home and away playoff series against a team in another region, either in Asia, South America or Oceania, depending on the rotation. On every occasion since the number of berths was expanded to three in 1998, the United States and Mexico have taken two of the berths.

  • A Critical Media Approach to Puerto Rican Olympic Sports
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications Branded sports sovereignty: A critical media approach to Puerto Rican Olympic sports A Thesis in Media Studies by Rafael R. Díaz-Torres Copyright 2011 Rafael R. Díaz-Torres Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2011 ii The thesis of Rafael R. Díaz-Torres was revised and approved* by the following: Ronald Bettig Associate Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Thesis Adviser Michelle Rodino-Colocino Assistant Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Jeanne Hall Associate Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Marie Hardin Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Graduate Education * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This work studies the concept and idea of sports sovereignty and its application for Puerto Rican Olympic sports representations. A critical mass media approach is applied to the analysis of the role of corporate communications in the construction, representation and consumption of international sports participations and Puerto Rican athletes. Textual analyses of articles, testimonies and films are combined with political economy approaches that seek to question the ways American mass media‟s intervention in Olympic sports undermine the possibility of political power and mobilization for symbolic sports sovereignties that operate in colonial territories like the island of Puerto Rico. This thesis work also questions those discourses that describe the island‟s sports sovereignty as an instrument of resistance capable of generating political power in favor of political decolonization for the territory and its citizens. The operation of Puerto Rico‟s sports sovereignty as a form of commodity within a neo-liberal market economy threatens its progressive politics possibilities and instead transforms it into a reactionary practice that reproduces forms of media imperialism as it also fails to question the United States dominance on the island.
