Download or read book CONIFA: Football for the Forgotten written by James Hendicott and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book about football. Well, it is, in a sense, but it's also a book about overcoming the odds. About being rejected from the sporting mainstream, but fighting back. About training for an international tournament with only a single ball. It's about representing one country, but being forced to live your life in another. About finding sporting representation as a rank outsider; overcoming political superpowers to find a place. It's about scrambling a team together in a few weeks to represent millions of people, or fronting a multi-continental organization on a near-bankrupt shoestring because it's that important to your indigenous reindeer-herding Scandinavian ethnic minority that they have their own global, international outlet. Those last two paragraphs probably sound like hyperbole. I couldn't quite believe it either, but every word of them is real. Follow me on a journey down a footballing rabbit hole, where sport and politics mingle in glorious, positive harmony. This is CONIFA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first fifty years of America’s most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the “complete story” of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that “complete story” has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears’ Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis? Or the two one-armed players who suited up for NFL teams in 1945? Or Steelers owner Art Rooney postponing a game in 1938 because of injuries? These are just a few of the little-known facts Dan Daly unearths in recounting the untold history of pro football in its first half century. These decades were also full of ideas and experimentation, such as the invention of the modern T formation that revolutionized offense, unlimited player substitution, and soccer-style kicking, as well as the emergence of televised pro football as prime-time entertainment. Relying on obscure sources, original interviews, old game films and statistical databases, Daly’s extensive research and engaging stories bring the NFL’s formative years—and pro football’s folk roots—to life.

Book excerpt: "Dave, honey. Are you sitting down? We have to talk. Your dad and I have something to tell you." "What is it, mom? Is everything alright? Are you getting divorced? Is it grandma?" "No, no. Grandma's fine. But - well, there's no easy way to say this." Mom exhaled. "The Sixers just traded Charles Barkley for Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang, and Tim Perry." That couldn't be right, I thought. She must've misheard. "What about Kevin Johnson? Or Thunder Dan? And the picks? How many picks, mom?" She shook her head, like she couldn't even believe the words that were about to come out of her mouth. "No KJ or Majerle. No picks, sweetie." ----- A Sixers Odyssey is a collection of 76 essays on forgotten players from the last thirty years. Why did everyone boo Kenny Payne on draft night? Where were you the night of the James Anderson Game? Wait, Tom Chambers played one game for the Sixers? Authored by a Philadelphian and former 76ers writer, A Sixers Odyssey combines personal memories with exhaustive research to highlight the other guys - the guys not named Charles Barkley or Allen Iverson. From Willie Burton's 53-point game to Jeff Ruland's run-in with a luggage cart, and countless stories in between, A Sixers Odyssey is a humorous journey through the good, the bad, and the forgotten.

Download or read book The Forgotten Indians written by Harshit Kumar and published by Harshit Kumar. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This captivating book sheds light on the remarkable contributions made by Indians in various fields, highlighting their groundbreaking discoveries and extraordinary achievements that preceded those of individuals from any other part of the world. Astonishingly, these individuals have been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the widely celebrated accomplishments of Greek figures. Within its pages, readers will discover a wealth of knowledge about the pioneering endeavors of Indian visionaries who were ahead of their time. While the names of Alexander, Pythagoras, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton are frequently discussed and praised, it is a curious phenomenon that the equally deserving figures such as Ashoka, Aryabhata, and Brahmacharya remain in the shadows of historical discourse. The book compellingly explores this disparity, offering insights and answers to the questions that naturally arise. Moreover, this book is merely the first installment in a captivating series that promises to delve deeper into the subject matter. With subsequent parts already in the works, readers can anticipate a multitude of future volumes that will further unveil the rich tapestry of Indian contributions throughout history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining compelling narrative and grand historical sweep, Forgotten Allies offers a vivid account of the Oneida Indians, forgotten heroes of the American Revolution who risked their homeland, their culture, and their lives to join in a war that gave birth to a new nation at the expense of their own. Revealing for the first time the full sacrifice of the Oneidas in securing independence, Forgotten Allies offers poignant insights about Oneida culture and how it changed and adjusted in the wake of nearly two centuries of contact with European-American colonists. It depicts the resolve of an Indian nation that fought alongside the revolutionaries as their valuable allies, only to be erased from America's collective historical memory. Beautifully written, Forgotten Allies recaptures these lost memories and makes certain that the Oneidas' incredible story is finally told in its entirety, thereby deepening and enriching our understanding of the American experience.

Download or read book The Forgotten History of African American Baseball written by Lawrence D. Hogan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text gives readers the chance to experience the unique character and personalities of the African American game of baseball in the United States, starting from the time of slavery, through the Negro Leagues and integration period, and beyond. For 100 years, African Americans were barred from playing in the premier baseball leagues of the United States—where only Caucasians were allowed. Talented black athletes until the 1950s were largely limited to only playing in Negro leagues, or possibly playing against white teams in exhibition, post-season play, or barnstorming contests—if it was deemed profitable for the white hosts. Even so, the people and events of Jim Crow baseball had incredible beauty, richness, and quality of play and character. The deep significance of Negro baseball leagues in establishing the texture of American history is an experience that cannot be allowed to slip away and be forgotten. This book takes readers from the origins of African Americans playing the American game of baseball on southern plantations in the pre-Civil War era through Black baseball and America's long era of Jim Crow segregation to the significance of Black baseball within our modern-day, post-Civil Rights Movement perspective.
