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.

Whether You're a Hockey Fan Or Not, If You Grew up in Pittsburgh, The
page 1 of 3 (Editorial Note: This was originally posted on ThePensandthepen.com. Whether you’re a hockey fan or not, if you grew up in Pittsburgh, the Civic Arena almost certainly resides in a special place within your memory. The shiny, stainless steel dome peeking out as you round the ramp to Center Ave., the aroma of popcorn that would hit you just as you crossed the threshold, and all of the historic events that took place within; there was always an electricity about it, no matter what the event was. It’s an iconic place that symbolizes Pittsburgh. It’s not flashy or Time’s Up. The Last Regular Season Game at Mellon Arena high-end. It is what it is; it’s utilitarian. It has done its job for 50 years, and it’s still cool in its own way. Now, after all of the history, after all of the memories, after all of the excitement and emotion that the concerts and hockey games, circuses and political events engendered beneath its dome, its fate is unknown. It sits there, fenced off, dark and silently looking towards its replacement: the bright, spacious, state-of-the-art Consol Energy Center (CEC). The two buildings couldn’t be any more different. But then again, they couldn’t be more A Postgame Goodbye to my Second Home: E17 Row C Seats 5&6 similar. They are both loved and hated. The Civic Arena was cramped, dingy and sorely outdated. But, it had character - a personality all its own - and a soul that all of the old hockey barns, like Boston Garden and the Montreal Forum had.

Antitrust Law: Procedural Safeguard Requirements in Concerted Refusals to Deal: an Application to Professional Sports-Denver Rockets V
ANTITRUST LAW: PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARD REQUIREMENTS IN CONCERTED REFUSALS TO DEAL: AN APPLICATION TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS-DENVER ROCKETS V. ALL-PRO MANAGEMENT, INC. (C.D. CAL. 1971). Professional sports are a continually growing source of enter- tainment for millions of Americans. Going hand in hand with this growth has been a number of complex and heretofore unresolved legal disputes. Perhaps the most important of these disputes is the role that antitrust laws will play in the area of professional sport leagues and associations. For example, it is argued that pro- visions such as reserve and option clauses, college player drafts and eligibility requirements are designed to increase integrity and competition in the leagues, a necessity for maximum fan enthusi- asm and a successful sports industry. Others believe that these regulations are unduly restrictive towards athletes, are necessary. only to increase the profit of the hierarchy of professional sports,- and are violative of the antitrust laws. The debate and litigation is continuing. In Flood v. Kuhn,' a case which many thought would provide a solution in this area, the Supreme Court of the United States failed once again to give an adequate answer to the question of antitrust laws as applied to professional sports.2 Nonetheless, the extent of the antitrust laws' role in the sports in- dustry must be decided if one is to chart the future of professional sports in this country. A possible indication of future judicial re- sponse in this area has emerged in Denver Rockets v. All-Pro Man- agement, Inc. (Haywood).3 In that case, the court found an estab- lished National Basketball Association4 rule to be in violation of 1.
