  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo.

Cresse was mired in a miserable College World Series before his final at-bat. The senior was 1- for-12 in the CWS prior to his game-winning single. Trey Hodges pitched four scoreless innings for his second win of the tournament. Hodges, who Brad Cresse overcame a slump at the plate to retired 10 of the 11 batters he faced, also picked up a save and was selected as the most out- drive in the title-winning run for LSU June 17. standing player of the College World Series.

  • Its Effects on America's Pastime and Other Professional Sports Leagues
    BASEBALL JURISPRUDENCE: Its Effects on America’s Pastime and Other Professional Sports Leagues Allan H. (“Bud”) Selig* and Matthew J. Mitten** INTRODUCTION This article analyzes leading baseball-related judicial decisions, arbitration awards, and federal legislation regarding the Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner’s “best interests” power, baseball’s antitrust exemption, and labor relations with MLB players as well as the scope of league, club, and players’ intellectual property rights. As the first law review article authored or co-authored by a current or former commissioner of a North American major professional sports league, it provides a unique insider perspective regarding baseball jurisprudence and its effects on the historical development and business affairs of MLB and its member clubs as well as their relationships with baseball players and their union, fans, and others. It also briefly considers how baseball jurisprudence has influenced the evolution, operations, and relationships of other North American major professional sports leagues such as the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and National Hockey League (NHL) as well as others such as Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). I. COMMISSIONER “BEST INTERESTS” POWER The first commissioner of any United States professional sports league was Kenesaw Mountain Landis, a Chicago federal judge who became Major League Baseball commissioner on January 12, 1921, to protect the integrity of the sport, specifically to ensure that “game fixing” like the infamous 1919 * Commissioner Emeritus, Major League Baseball, and Distinguished Lecturer in Sports Law and Policy, Marquette University Law School; Commissioner, Major League Baseball, July 9, 1998–January 24, 2015; Owner and President, Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club, April 1970– January 2005; National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee, July 30, 2017.

  • Deanna Rusch* —Baseball Must Ascend and Aspire to the Highest Principles Œ of Integrity, of Professionalism, of Performance
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL & DRUG TESTING: A LEGAL CRITIQUE OF THE CURRENT POLICY AND A LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF DRUG TESTING IN THE MLB Deanna Rusch* I. INTRODUCTION “Baseball must ascend and aspire to the highest principles – of integrity, of professionalism, of performance, of fair play within its rules.”1 Spoken by Bart Giamatti, former Commissioner of Major League Baseball (hereinafter “MLB”), that sentiment seems consistent with most public comments made by the MLB administration, team owners, union representatives and players. More specifically, the integrity issue often arises in public efforts to justify and/or promote drug testing within baseball. In a 1997 memorandum on drug policy, prevention and testing, addressed to all MLB clubs, current MLB Commissioner (then chairman) Bud Selig wrote, “[a]s in the past, the health and welfare of those who work in baseball will continue to be our paramount concern. No less compelling, however, is the need to maintain the integrity of the game.”2 Drug testing in baseball has been established in order to protect and promote the health and welfare of the players, to guard the integrity of the game, and to encourage professionalism in a sport that is a career for many. But does the current MLB drug testing policy actually address these concerns? Does the policy, along with its consequences, act as enough of a deterrent in order to achieve the goals it was implemented to accomplish? As Commissioner Selig and others push for a drug testing *Deanna Rusch, Gonzaga University School of Law, Juris Doctorate Candidate – May 2006. The author would like to thank Professor Vickie J.
