Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compulsively readable sports narrative by senior NFL writer for ESPN's The Undefeated (now Andscape), Jason Reid, chronicling both the history of Black players in the NFL, such as Warren Moon, and the recent careers of groundbreaking Black quarterbacks, including Colin Kaepernick. In September 2019, ESPN's The Undefeated website (now Andscape) began a season-long series of articles on the emergence of Black quarterbacks in the NFL. The first article in the series was Jason Reid's enormously popular, "Welcome to the Year of the Black Quarterback." The series culminated with an hour-long television program in February 2020, hosted by Reid himself. The Rise of the Black Quarterback: What It Means for America will expand on Reid's piece—as well as the entire series—and chronicle the shameful history of the treatment of Black players in the NFL and the breakout careers of a thrilling new generation of Black quarterbacks. Intimate portraits of Colin Kaepernick, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Kyler Murray feature prominently in the book, as well as the careers and legacy of beloved NFL players such as Doug Williams and trailblazing pioneers Marlin Briscoe and Eldridge Dickey. Reid delves deeply into the culture war ignited by Kaepernick's peaceful protest that shone a light on systemic oppression and police brutality. Fascinating and timely, this page-turning account will rivet fans of sports, cultural commentary, and Black history in America.

Book excerpt: The reason I wrote this book about black quarterbacks being underrated and some being denied the opportunity to play as quarterbacks in the NFL is because of how people still perceive the black quarterbacks. There are at least six starting black quarterbacks playing in the NFL. Racism against the black quarterbacks is alive and well. I feel that white and black people need to wake up and realize that racism is still a problem in America. White people still want to believe they are superior to the black man. White people believe that to be a quarterback you have to be the most intelligent player on the field and have leadership skills. They only think that white quarterbacks have the intelligence to play as quarterback. That is why I wrote this book.

Available in print and digital formats. Running the numbers in the NFL: are great black quarterbacks paid less than great white quarterbacks? At lower levels of productivity and salary, there is not much difference between how black and white quarterbacks are treated. A difference is observed when one looks at the game’s very best quarterbacks. Specifically, white quarterbacks who excel are paid more than similarly productive black quarterbacks. It appears there’s a difference in how the best quarterbacks are perceived...

This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pro Football Black Quarterbacks and the N-Word Matter highlights a select group of Black quarterbacks and the psychological and sociological sacrifices they made in order to play the sport--a 101 course on the Black male's struggle to succeed in life and sports. It also discusses Black athletes who wanted to become leaders on the football field but were denied the opportunity to show their skills by racist notions still prevalent in our society. The book explores the relationship between the Black quarterbacks in the NFL and the Black male in society, and exposes the flawed thinking and stereotypes that often hold Blacks back--whether in the military, on the football field, or in the political arena. And finally, it focuses on the psychological cost of achieving success at a position historically considered "Whites Only," like the restrooms and water fountains of the Jim Crow era. If you want psychological and sociological insights into the saga of professional football--and the N-word--this is your crib sheet!

Book excerpt: An acclaimed sportswriter offers an inside look at the Black quarterbacks whose skill and grit transformed the NFL In Rocket Men, John Eisenberg offers the definitive history of Black quarterbacks in the NFL—men who shaped not only the history of football but the cause of civil rights in America. From early pioneers like Fritz Pollard to groundbreaking modern standouts like Marlin Briscoe and James “Shack” Harris, Black quarterbacks had to be twice as good as their white counterparts to get playing time—and even then, many never got that chance. That didn’t begin to change in earnest until the 1990s and the 2000s, when racist notions about what Black quarterbacks supposedly couldn’t do began to fade, paving the way for today’s stars like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Drawing on deep historical research and exclusive interviews with Black quarterbacks and players, coaches, and talent evaluators who have worked alongside them, Rocket Men is a celebration of the athletes and activists who transformed the game.

Book excerpt: Pass Interference sheds light on the struggles of Black quarterbacks dealing with racial stereotypes that kept them off the field. Throughout this book Black players express their anguish as they struggled to prove themselves as valuable players. In many instances, you can see that their struggles, criticisms, and let downs were real. They share their stories of how they endured racism, pushback, put down, and verbal abuse from the fans, been left out of important decision making meetings, while being overlooked in the NFL draft despite their success and accomplishments. The interviews go all the way back to the 1950s during pro football's early years when there was a ban on Black players. The journey covers barriers broken with the first Heisman trophy winner Andre Ware, the first Super Bowl winner Doug Williams, and the first overall pick Mike Vick. It tells the story of those who were extremely successful in college but were ignored and passed over for players who weren't as good record wise or statistically. The book takes a look at every aspect of race and how owners, coaches, media, and fans consistently created the false narrative that Black athletes were not smart enough and would not lead a team to a championship. From the dark side of football as seen through the eyes of players, some of whom have passed on, others who are still with us, we are enlightened through their own words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part history, part biography, this study examines the Black athlete's search to unify what W.E.B. DuBois called the "two unreconciled strivings" of African Americans--the struggle to survive in black society while adapting to white society. Black athletes have served as vanguards of change, challenging the dominant culture, crossing social boundaries and raising political awareness. Champions like Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Wilma Rudolph, Roberto Clemente, Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, Serena Williams, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James make a difference, even as many in the Black community question the idea of athletes as role models. The author argues the importance of sports heroes in a panic-plagued era beset with class division and racial privilege.
