  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

  • Marques Haynes a Unique Talent for Basketball Took Him from Small- Town American to the World
    Marques Haynes A unique talent for basketball took him from small- town American to the world. He’s a true Globetrotter Chapter 1 — 1:00 Introduction Announcer: Marques Haynes played basketball for more than 50 years, weathering bumpy roads, drafty buses and not-so-subtle racism. He logged 12,000 games and entertained millions in 106 countries with his trick shots and masterful dribbling. Marques was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, representing all of the great black players of his era— like Goose Tatum and Meadowlark Lemon, who played for touring teams before minorities were allowed in the NBA. Marques’ talent got its start in Sand Springs, Oklahoma in a three-bedroom house with a mother who preached education first and then basketball. The wallpaper of that three-bedroom house consisted of the Tulsa World and the Tulsa Tribune. Marques Haynes became known as the world’s greatest dribbler. He tells his story in this oral history presentation made possible by the generosity of foundations that believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time on VoiceofOklahoma.com. Chapter 2 — 8:25 From the Beginning John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is December 8, 2011. Marques would you please state your full name please? Marques Haynes: Marques Oriole Haynes. JE: Where did your middle name come from? MH: I don’t know. I haven’t found that out. JE: Your date of birth? MH: March 10, 1926.

  • Judicial Deregulation of Consumer Markets
    HELVESTON.36.5.3 (Do Not Delete) 6/7/2015 12:30 PM JUDICIAL DEREGULATION OF CONSUMER MARKETS Max N. Helveston† The dangers posed by insufficiently regulated consumer markets are both real and monumental. While the rights of consumers expanded drastically in the mid- to late twentieth century, these protections have weakened in the new millennium. One of the forces driving this change has been the judiciary, where an anti-consumer jurisprudence has taken root. This is surprising, given the courts’ history of defending individuals’ commercial rights and combating unfair market practices. Despite the significant ramifications that the removal of consumer protections has for every individual, the evolution of anti-consumerism in the courts has received scarce attention from the academy. This Article fills this gap by collecting and analyzing the decisions underlying the judiciary’s shift on consumer law issues. It describes how changes in courts’ views about contractual interpretation, the propriety of judicial intervention in private relationships, and deference to alternative means of regulation have stripped consumers of their rights. It goes on to discuss the normative goals of consumer protection law and develops a framework for future pro- consumer governmental efforts. This framework challenges the pragmatic viability of doctrinal solutions to consumer law issues and describes why legislative and administrative measures are better suited to protecting consumers.

  • Long-Term Care and the Tax Code: a Feminist Perspective on Elder Care
    LONG-TERM CARE AND THE TAX CODE: A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON ELDER CARE NANCY E. SHURTZ* ABSTRACT Elder care is an increasingly important sector in the comprehensive health care matrix in the United States. It is a realm of particular import to women: women live longer, develop degenerative conditions at higher rates than men, and are more likely to receive and provide care. Women earn less income, pos- sess less net wealth, and are far more likely to live in poverty. Public policies regarding elder care add to the increasing strain on women by systematically rejecting home-based caregiving labor as ªlegitimateº economic activity, ren- dering it unworthy of subsidized support. As a result, a secondary policy bias develops, favoring institutional (market) elder care over home-based options, which creates demonstrably poor health and life-quality results and adds sub- stantial monetary costs to both affected individuals and taxpayers. This Article examines the state of elder careÐespecially in the long-term contextÐand its impact on the lives of women as both care recipients and caregivers. Employing various strains of feminist thought, this Article establishes elder care as an inte- gral component of feminist concern and examines current policy approaches that incorporate tax-based and non-tax-based reforms to stimulate improve- ments to the elder care industry, raise life quality outcomes, expand elder care choices, and encourage higher participation in caregiving labors in an area of vital need.

    Life Care Funding Group | 2008 Life Settlements The Silver Tsunami White Paper By: Chris Orestis, Principal Life Care Funding Group care 888.670.7773 lifefunding group [email protected] www.lifecarefunding.com Life Settlements: The Silver Tsunami White Paper | 2 Executive Summary The approaching surge of Baby Boomers and the ever expanding ranks of the 65+ gen- eration have been on our radar screen for years. But today, it is no longer a concept far off on in the future. The reality is that the conversion of Baby Boomers turning into bona-fide seniors is actually now upon us. The oldest Baby Boomers began qualifying to take government benefits last year, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, in less than three years 8,000 Americans will start to become Medicare eligible every single day. This generation, from the youngest Baby Boomer to those now in their eighties, will require innovative solutions from life insurance, annuities, health and disability coverage, and long term care to address their financial needs. But how well do we really know these people? What are their plans for the future and are they financially prepared? What are the realities that will confront them as they move across the age continuum of Baby Boomer to 65-- and then continue aging for many years to come? In this paper we will look at statistical data from a wide range of sources to create a picture of the Baby Boomers and the 65+ seniors ahead of them. Together they are a “Silver Tsu- nami” that will hit the U.S.
