  • 1959:A Curious Case of the 13Th Import
    The Professional Football Researchers Association A Curious Case of the 13th Import The 1959 CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll Quick! What major league pro football team went into a regular tailback as coach. Filchock's first move was to import another season game with the LEAST chance of winning? The 1976 American, former Notre Dame All-America Frank Tripucka, to do Tampa Bay Buccaneers? The 1960 Dallas Cowboys? Perhaps the his quarterbacking. 1943 Chicago Cardinals, a mob so mopey that the players had faces redder than their jerseys? Although these fabled Frank Tripucka is better known today as the father of Kelly aggregations managed to stumble through their seasons without Tripucka, the pro basketballer, but back then he was a talented once tripping over victory, they each had a mathematical chance of signal caller and passer. By the time he got to Canada, Frank was winning every time they were able to find their way out of the locker a proven commodity, having seen service with several NFL teams room before kickoff.

  • The Migration of African Americans to the Canadian Football League During the 1950S: an Escape from Discrimination?
    IASE/NAASE Working Paper Series, Paper No. 07-13 The Migration of African Americans to the Canadian Football League during the 1950s: An Escape from Discrimination? Neil Longley†, Todd Crosset††, and Steve Jefferson††† June 2007 Abstract The institutional racial discrimination that existed in American professional team sports prior to World War II resulted in African American players effectively being barred from playing in the major professional leagues. Although the NFL color barrier did officially fall in 1946, to be quickly followed by the fall of the MLB color barrier one year later when Jackie Robinson made his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, these events were just the beginning of the struggles for African American athletes. Integration proceeded very slowly during the next two decades, and economists have shown that African Americans continued to suffer from a variety of forms of discriminatory treatment. However, it is the argument of this paper that the literature that examines discrimination during this era is incomplete, in that it ignores the experiences of a small, but relatively significant, group of African American football players who actually chose to leave their own country – and correspondingly leave the racially-charged environment of mid-20th century America – to head north to play professional football in the Canadian Football League (CFL). †Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003, Phone (413): 545-5059, e-mail: [email protected] ††Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 †††Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 Beginning in 1946, a steady flow of African Americans began to migrate to the CFL which, at the time, was a legitimate competitor league to the NFL.

  • Bc Lions Football Club Community Partnerships
    BC LIONS FOOTBALL CLUB COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS CODE OF CONDUCT October, 2019 1. Context This Code of Conduct ("Code") has been adopted by the BC Lions Community Partnerships Division as part of an overall set of conduct-related policies applicable to the Club itself, its directors, officers, players, employees, and volunteers. In so far as the players, coaches and other team staff are concerned, this Code should be read in conjunction with and supplementary to the code of conduct adopted by the CFL, the CFL constitution and the collective bargaining agreement entered into between the CFL and the Canadian Football League Players Associations ("CFLPA"). Where this Code conflicts with the code of the CFL or the CFLPA collective bargaining agreement, that code and that agreement shall prevail. The CFL code principally addresses conduct occurring on the football field or during or related to a football game event. This Code is intended to have a wider application. It is recognized that no written code of conduct can cover every situation; rather, the standards of conduct set out in this Code are stated in broad terms, indicating the general direction and rules by which conduct should be measured. It is expected that all personnel will comply with the spirit as well as the letter of this Code of Conduct. Where any person whose conduct is subject to this Code has any doubt about whether a particular course of action may or may not breach the Code, that person shall have access to the Club's President, General Manager and Director of Community Partnerships as may be appropriate in the circumstances, for advice and consultation in order to determine the appropriate course of action.

  • Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
    Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league.

  • A Brief History of Canadian Football
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-012-0006-3 Snow on the Gridiron: A Brief History of Canadian Football Authors’ contribution: Curtis Fogel A) conception and design of the study Lakehead University - Orillia, Canada B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT Football is played throughout the far regions of the world. There is no other sport that brings so many people together locally, nationally, and internationally. Football is not, however, a unified sport with shared rules, customs and histories across time and space. In contrast, football is largely a different sport depending on where it is being played. This paper traces the development of Canadian football as a unique sport with strong similarities to and subtle differences from American football, as well as clear distinctions from forms of football played outside of North America. KEYWORDS football, sport, history, Canada Introduction The term football can refer to different sports depending on the geographic, cultural, and historical location in which it is being played. Football, for many individuals around the world, refers to a game that involves kicking a ball into the goal of an opposing team. This sport is commonly referred to as soccer in North America. In Australia, the term football denotes a game that involves pushing a ball up an oval shaped field by kicking, handballing, and running, with the end objective of kicking the ball through the goal posts of the opposing team (Piesse 1995). In Ireland, a form of football termed Gaelic football is played that involves a combination of carrying, kicking, and hand-passing a ball with the objective of kicking the ball through the uprights of the opposing team to score one point, or through the goal posts of the opposing team for three points (Mahon 2001).
