Consequently, in March of 1950, Tryzub’s pioneers called a general organizational meet- ing. The assembly resolved to charter the Ukrainian Sport Center (eventually renamed to “Ukrainian American Sport Center”) — Tryzub and elected its first Board of Directors and Executive Committee. They registered Tryzub’s soccer teams in the PSL as “Ukrainian- American Sports Club” and elected to play ball under the colors red-and-black that con- tinue to adorn its players’ uni- forms to this very day. Distinguished Ukrainian ath- letes and sports enthusiasts, who had been active in their homeland and in various refu- gee camps in Europe, began to flock to Philadelphia.

  • American, United Statian, Usamerican, Or Gringos?
    AMERICAN, UNITED STATIAN, USAMERICAN, OR GRINGO? Luís Cláudio Villafañe G. Santos A little cultural war passed almost unnoticed in cyberspace at the end of March 2002. The first salvo of that war was fired by Thomas Holloway in an e-mail posted at the H-LatAm1 discussion list on March 26th. He asked for an alternative to the word “American” when referring to people from, or citizens of, the United States of America.2 The fact that the citizens of the United States call themselves “Americans” causes discomfort for many Latin Americans, who see the appropriation by the United States citizens of the collective identity of all peoples and countries of the continent as a clear act of cultural imperialism. In fact, the thirty-four other countries of the hemisphere can claim to be as "American" as the United States. Taking advantage of the issues raised on the debate that followed Holloway’s posting at H- LatAm discussion list, I will discuss why the development of the national idea in the United States led to the consolidation of the word “American” as the official name/adjective for the citizens of one particular country in the whole American continent. In contrast, in Spanish America and Brazil, the process of national affirmation led to the weakening of the collective “American” identity and the strengthening of particular characteristics of each local community in order to build the new nations. Terms used to identify peoples, cultures, and regions have lately come under intense scrutiny. It has been recognized that those words can harm people not only because they are sometimes received as an overt insult but also because they can propagate a debasing representation of those people which affects their social status, political leverage, and access to public goods.

  • Ukrainian Nationals Playbook for Players, Coaches, Parents V2.0
    UKRAINIAN NATIONALS PLAYBOOK FOR PLAYERS, COACHES AND PARENTS Forward This is a living document and meant to be updated annualy. Each player, parent and coach is required to read this with an understanding of the content, and an acknowledgement of the intent and a recognition of the consequences for lack of compliance with this or any other club policies. This document covers many topics in a comprehensive manner, but is not comprehensive. The key to successful interpretation of this guidance is to understand the intent and not to search for loopholes. Ultimately, the Ukrainian Nationals Board of Directors will have the final say in interpreting this document. The “Spirit” of this document not the letter is what is most important. We will hold ourselves to the highest standard regardless of any outside influences. The expectation is that our players, coaches and parents model principles of discipline, professionalism, courtesy and sportsmanship in all interactions. There are entire clubs and teams that do not set or enforce these types of standards and the result is a negative perception in the eyes of their peers (e.g., parents screaming at referees, parents coaching from the sidelines, players cursing, coaches not demonstrating good sportsmanship). Poor behavior choices on the part of opposing players, parents or coaches will not serve as an excuse to enable retaliatory behavior from members of this club. We will lead by example and lead from the front. The Board of Directors of this club is comprised of volunteers dedicated to the best interest of the Ukrainian Nationals. The Board expects each team to monitor and police themselves unless there are situations where an intervention is necessary.

  • Burying the Ghost of Degaulle: Anti-Americanism and Ideology in France
    Burying the Ghost of DeGaulle: Anti-Americanism and Ideology in France Introduction The American preoccupation with the opinions other nations hold of the United States can be traced back to the concern that the founding fathers expressed in the Declaration of Independence for a “decent respect for the opinions of mankind.” Benson (1968). Few nations have invested comparable resources into developing, monitoring, and analyzing their international image. French criticism of the United States seems to cause a particular sting, and the French are frequently stereotyped as inveterate anti-Americans. Although French opinions about the United States are far from being the most negative in the world, or even in Europe, (Pew 2009) the French stand out in their ability to attract American ire. This paper examines the ideological loading of French anti-Americanism among the mass public from 1982 to 2006. It finds both a broad tend in shifting ideology, and short term effects of specific political debates. Anti-Americanism does have a long pedigree in France. As described by Phillipe Roger, Anti- Americanism is a discourse shared across French political families (Roger 2002). It has, historically been more prevalent at the extremes of the ideological spectrum. During the cold war both left and right indulged in anti-American discourse, albeit with the understanding on the part of the center left and center right that a security arrangement with the United States was indispensible given the potential threat of the Soviet Union. However, the nature of anti-Americanism differs along the ideological spectrum. If leftist anti-Americanism centered on capitalism, and the deficiencies of the American overreliance on the market, the left was divided on the geopolitical position of France during the cold war.

  • Anti-Americanism, Patriotic Messages, and Attributions of Blame
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 701-721 1932–8036/20130005 Why Do (We Think) They Hate Us: Anti-Americanism, Patriotic Messages, and Attributions of Blame JASON GILMORE LINDSEY MEEKS DAVID DOMKE University of Washington This study explores how news coverage about anti-American sentiment interacts with U.S. adults’ sense of national identity and affects their understandings and interpretations of such negative attitudes. We build on scholarship on patriotism and social identity to conduct an experiment in which participants read one of two news stories focused on anti-American impressions. The findings suggest that news content influences both (a) how Americans interpret anti-American sentiment in general and (b) how Americans draw upon their identification with the nation in formulating attributions of blame for such sentiments and in deciding on what foreign policies to support. Keywords: anti-Americanism, national identity, patriotic messages, news, attributions of blame Americans have long been fascinated with how the rest of the world sees their country. In the eyes of many U.S. adults, America is “a land of opportunity that is the envy and aspiration of humankind” (Ivie & Giner, 2009, p. 361; Kohut & Stokes, 2006). But such a rosy view of America’s image is at times ruptured by international conflicts, cultural missteps, and economic crises. In these situations, the U.S. public encounters a less positive reality—that being a global superpower can spur distrust, resentment, and, sometimes, hate (Ceaser, 2003; O’Connor, 2004). Such hostile sensibilities underlay the 1993 car bombing at the World Trade Center, the 2000 suicide bombing in Yemen on the USS Cole, the attacks of September 11, 2001, and worldwide protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
