  • We the North Finalsubmission
    We the North? Race, Nation and the Multicultural Politics of Toronto’s First NBA Championship Funké Aladejebi, Kristi A. Allain, Rhonda C. George & Ornella Nzindukiyimana1 Abstract The Toronto Raptors’ 2019 NBA championship win, a first for the franchise and for a Canadian team, “turned hockey country into basketball nation” (CBC Radio 2020). Canadians’ growing embrace of the team and the sport seemed to point to a growing celebration of Blackness within the nation. However, we problematize the 2019 championship win to tell a more expansive story about how sport and national myths conceal truths about race and belonging in Canada. We explore two particular cases, the We the North campaign and the media coverage of Raptors superfan Nav Bhatia, to highlight the contradictory ways that the Raptors coverage mobilized symbols of the North and multiculturalism in order to produce the team as quintessentially Canadian and rebrand basketball for Canadian audiences. We further explore how these stark contradictions manifest in the racialized policing of basketball courts in the Greater Toronto Area. These cases demonstrate that the celebrations of the Raptors and basketball not only continued to police racialized bodies, but also ensured their inclusion was contingent on the maintenance of the status quo. Keywords: basketball, Canada, Raptors, the North, Blackness, Whiteness, Toronto 1 Introduction In June 2019, at the close of a long victory parade and in front of thousands of fans, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Toronto Mayor John Tory handed the keys to the city to Kawhi Leonard, the hero of the Toronto Raptors’ historic basketball season.

    Gender Pay Inequality in Professional Sports: How Policy Shapes A Consistent Divide Is it possible for male and female professional athletes to receive equal compensation? A look at how gender pay inequality persists in the policies that govern three professional sports and whether there is room for policy intervention. Undergraduate Honors Thesis Sanford School of Public Policy Duke University Durham, NC Ellie Winslow February 2021 Winslow 2 Acknowledgements Thank you to both of my advisors, Penny Fleming and Alison Hagy, for your guidance and support throughout this process. Thank you for challenging me to think more critically about my conclusions. I am grateful to Penny for continuing to support my goals beyond being my pre-major advisor. Thank you to Professor Hagy for encouraging me to see my ideas through a different lens. I also want to thank my family and friends for their continued encouragement. This research combines three important areas of interest for me: gender equality, public policy, and sports. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to explore disciplines that I am passionate about.
