Redspin Sports looks at the connections between the U.S. sports industry & the political, social & economic forces that sustain U.S. imperialism, both at home and abroad. We examine the history of activist athletes and this generation's reemergence of athlete activism, the history of American football through a critical class struggle lens, and the politics & labor dynamics that characterize the modern pro sports leagues. Highlighting the connections between billionaire team owners, the permanent war state, real estate gentrifiers and slum lords, private prisons, education privatization, police militarization & much more; all of which are critical to fully understanding the social and political forces that define our time.

    Robert E. Lee HS Name Change?, Sports & Lasting Legacy of Ahistorical "Lost Cause" Mythology

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 2, 2021 16:48


    In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports podcast for another edition of our weekly segment “The Red Spin Report.” They discuss efforts to remove the name of Confederate general Robert E. Lee from Washington-Lee University in Virginia and Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as the intellectual bankruptcy of the “Lost Cause” narrative advanced by new-confederate factions.Nate coached high school football for the now (since desegregation & white flight) nearly all black Lee Generals (Jacksonville, Fla.) varsity football team in 2009 & 2010, and he connects how that experience -and the role team sports play more broadly in identity formation for players and alums- affects and complicates the issues of school names & mascots. As always, the social and political contradictions that exist as a natural byproduct of living under a fundamentally exploitative economic system that continues to fuel augmenting income & wealth inequality, are unpacked and explored within the context of the still ongoing battles over appropriately characterizing the Confederate government for what it was -and the logic of its reactionary ideology still is, a criminal enterprise built on naked economic exploitation, an unparalleled system of human trafficking, & the violently enforced bondage of the most basic human rights of enslaved African peoples. The enduring mythos of "The Lost Cause" is a testament to the power of white supremacy in these United States. Why? If not for the -racist decision- to abandon the promises made to emancipated peoples in the form of ending federal military reconstruction in 1877 (a decision long in the making by the time it became official), the militarily, but not necessarily ideologically, vanquished "redeemers of the South" never could have returned to power to institute a Jim Crow system of racialized terror in the 1880's and 1890's. Furthermore, "Lost Cause" propagandists such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy would not have had the political power to advance their ahistorical narratives into K-12 school curriculums across the states of the former Confederacy and beyond; it is precisely because of the UDC's ideological victory in being able to craft racist and classist narratives about the Civil War and what it was truly fought over (i.e. SLAVERY and the "rights" of slavers to expand their "peculiar institution" into the westward and rapidly expanding settler colonial geography of the mid 19th century United States).So the reality is as William Faulkner so accurately put it: "the past is not dead, in fact, it's not even past." Those words couldn't have been more true on Thursday, March 25th, in both the auditorium and overflow crowd in the adjacent library of Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Checkout the 90 seconds (I -Nate- could have managed better but was caught off guard after waiting nearly 4 hours to speak) I had to speak on this issue in the tweet below. Despite the self-criticism, it still gets at the core issue: the continued power of the fallacious "Lost Cause" narrative which tries to explain away why the "morally superior" Confederacy was vanquished on the battlefield. Those who ascribe to "Lost Cause" history are invariably delusional, masters of white "grievance politics," acting as if they are somehow "the victims" while ignoring and having contempt for all who dare point out the ahistorical contradictions their arguments rest upon. https://twitter.com/NateWallace9/status/1378023534048514054?s=20Recorded and aired on Friday, March 26th, 2021 in Washington, DC.If you enjoy Redspin Sports, please consider supporting our work on Patreon so we can produce more of it.

My most recent book, Blood, Sweat, and Tears chronicles the development of black college football in the twentieth century, and is among the first comprehensive histories of black college athletics. Using the biography of Alonzo “Jake” Gaither and the history of the football program at Florida A&M University (FAMU), he shows how black college football and its supporters created successful programs during segregation by relying on a network of athletic enthusiasts in the media, on campuses, and in the community. I have published articles in New Politics, The Journal of African American History, the C.L.R. James Journal, the Journal of African American Studies, and the Florida Historical Quarterly. I co-host “The Black Athlete Podcast” with Professor Louis Moore, Grand Valley State University, and I tweet from @blackstar1906.Bio Credit: https://aaas.as.uky.edu/users/dwh249If you enjoy Redspin Sports, please consider supporting our work on Patreon so we can produce more of it.

    ESPN Bigot Dan Dakich's Vile Attacks on End of Sport Pod Hosts who are Fighting Back & Duke's Jalen Johnson

    Former Indiana Hoosiers player and Bob Knight assistant basketball coach, Dan Dakich, who now works for ESPN calling college basketball games and hosting a sports talk radio show on 107.5 FM "The Fan" in Indianapolis. At issue in this installment of Nate Wallace's weekly Redspin Report on Radio Sputnik's "BAMNecessary" with Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman, is Dakich's M.O. of attacking unpaid college athletes for "quitting," calling for Duke Basketball's (unpaid) Jalen Johnson a quitter for making a business decision to prepare for the 2021 NBA Draft, rather than continue playing this money grab of a college basketball season amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Even worse is Dakich's threatening sexual violence against End of Sport co-host and college professor, Johanna Mellis, and doxing fellow EOS co-host and professor Nathan Kalman-Lamb after being unable to respond to legitimate criticism regarding Dakich's latest disgusting remarks. We also discuss the New Cold War against China taking hold in Canada with a mainstream lawmaker's appeal that the 2022 Winter Olympic Games should be moved from China to Canada on human rights grounds concerning an alleged Uyghur Genocide; a claim made only by a right-wing evangelical zealot named Dr. Adrian Zenz, who is a bizarre and dangerous figure from the German Christian Right.https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/canada-should-not-host-the-olympics-everCheckout some of the developments that have ensued in the days since we recorded. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...​https://www.newsobserver.com/article2...​https://thespun.com/more/sports-media...​https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/dan-...​https://www.indystar.com/story/sports...​https://twitter.com/marcisenberg/stat...​The Jalen Johnson opt-out is a totally legitimate decision the young man made given the fact that "loyalty" is never a two way street whenever a player's presence becomes something a university deems to be not in their interests.
