  • 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.

    Headlining ShoBox for the Second Time, Rob Brant Says He’s Still in Shock Over His Own Success Minnesota’s Rob “Bravo” Brant (18-0, 11 KOs) won’t lie… He’s still amazed by the level of success he’s already achieved in his young professional boxing career. “I don’t want to water it down. It’s a huge shocker,” admits Brant. “I was boxing fan before I was even a boxer. So now, to rub shoulders with big guys in the sport like I am, I sometimes have to remind myself not to ask fanboy questions. I worked hard to get here, but I’m still surprised.” Tonight, 25-year-old Brant will face Atlantic City’s Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 KOs) in a 10-round battle for the NABA Middleweight Championship to headline a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader of fights, live from the Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona. Tickets for “Boxing at Casino Del Sol”, which is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions and Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions, are priced at $25, $40, $75 and $100, and are available through the Casino Del Sol Resort web site (www.casinodelsol.com). Please click on “Featured Promotions” and then “SHOBOX Fight” to buy tickets. In the co-featured televised bouts, undefeated heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (15-0-1, 13 KOs) will take on Cleveland’s Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder for the NABA Heavyweight Championship and undefeated Kazakhstani power puncher Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 KOs) will look to keep his perfect record intact against Jared Robinson (16-2-1, 7 KOs), of Sumter, South Carolina in an eight-round welterweight battle.
