Send us a textProfessor Louis Moore joins Matt and Jeff to discuss his essential new book, The Great Black Hope: Doug Williams, Vince Evans and the Making of the Black Quarterback. Our engaging discussion with Lou took us deep into the history of Black quarterbacks and athletes in general in the NFL and he talks about the journey he took as he was writing the book. However much progress you might think has been made in the NFL (and beyond), this discussion -- and Lou's book -- will remind you that there's a lot that still needs to be addressed.Lou also shared his history as a music fan and the formative experiences he had as a listener growing up, and why Life is...Too $hort is still one of the most important albums in his collection.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Louis Moore. A Professor of History at Grand Valley State University, Dr Moore's research and writing examines the interconnections between race and sports. He is the author of two recently published books, I Fight for a Living: Boxing and the Battle for Black Manhood, 1880-1915 and We Will Win the Day: The Civil Rights Movement, the Black Athlete, and the Quest for Equality. Gus learned a bit more about former black prizefighter Sam Langford. A contemporary of black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, Gus found out Langford was nicknamed: "The Boston Tar Baby," Smoke," and "The Original Nigger In The Wood Pile." This prompted Gus to dig more. The timing of this broadcast can not be overstated. We just spoke with Suspected Racist Dr. Katherine C. Mooney about her research on White Supremacy and horse racing. Dr. Mooney is cited in I Fight for a Living. Even more, Isaac Murphy and the prominence of 19th and 20th century black jockeys is talked about along side the success of black boxers like "The Boston Tar Baby" and "The Desperate Coon." The latter is a black male boxer who's legal name was lost. These Racist "nicknames" highlight how black males were denied manhood and humanity in spite of their knockout power. Black hunger is a major component of this book. And White homoeroticism and lust for black male bodies. We also hear a fascinating segment about racially ambiguous fighters like Mervine Thompson - who Jack Sullivan outed as having negro blood. This is another great illustration that White people cannot be ignorant about Racism - or racial classifications. #BattleRoyal #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

EP. 424 Walk to the Line PT. 2 SEASON FINALE This season has been filled with growth and a deep look into some of the more painful times of my life. From the loss of my Grandmother to the deaths of 4 of my family members, 2 College Friends, 2 more people my age. And those are just the deaths I have had to deal with. God has a way of also blessing you through some of the toughest times in your life if you are familiar with his voice. Those same blessings are often in themselves adversities or test geared to develop you and test your worthiness. I complain, I grieve , I fail, but I FIGHT. This season has seen the re-launch of my website, a legitimate merchandise distributor as well as other platforms for me to grow and build. Work wise I have struggled to adapt to many personalities while also fighting my own ego and selfish views. In 2014 an injury that we have witness take out some of the best NBA players of all time ( Achilles Tear) hit my favorite basketball player Kobe Bryant. He calmly walked to the line and sank two clutch free throws before leaving the game. I didnt quite realize that what I was witnessing was one of the greatness displays of resilience and toughness to date. I'm no Kobe Bryant but the Mamba Mentality thrives within me and is something I call on in the toughest times of my life.

This special 100th episode of the show marks the beginning of a new series on The End of Sport: EOS Panels. The EOS Panels are meant to capture the very best of the academic conference panel--free-flowing discussion among experts on a common theme, but without the cursed academic conference paywall that inhibits access. In the first of this series, we had the pleasure of being joined by Louis Moore, Lucia Trimbur, and Ryan King-White to discuss how they navigate the tensions of being critical sports scholars with children who participate in sport. This is a wide-ranging discussion that delves into fundamental questions about the value of youth sport, potential forms of harm, and even interrogates the very nature of competition itself. We think you'll enjoy it! Lou Moore is Professor of History at Grand Valley State University, co-host of the Black Athlete Podcast, and author of the books I Fight for a Living: Boxing and the Battle for Black Manhood and We Will Win the Day: The Civil Rights Movement, the Black Athlete, and the Quest for Equality.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, we look at the complicated history of black athletes in US history. I’ll speak with historian Louis Moore, author of two new books on African American athletes, I Fight for a Living: Boxing and the Battle for Black Manhood, 1880-1915 (University of Illinois Press), and We Will Win The Day: The Civil Rights Movement, The Black Athlete, And The Quest For Equality (Praeger). In the first half of our conversation, we discuss the emergence of black boxers in the late nineteenth century. These men overcame poverty and racism to compete in the ring with fellow African Americans, but also white Americans. For black boxers, success in the ring earned them financial success and the opportunity to engage in a vibrant “sporting” culture. Their success also symbolized the African American quest for respect and equal rights. The most famous of these men was Jack Johnson who became heavy weight champion in 1908. His success, and his flashy lifestyle, in an a when Jim Crow was being imposed across the nation infuriated many white Americans. When no white boxer could defeat Johnson in the ring, federal authorities used the legal system to end his career. In the second half of our chat, Louis Moore walks us through the long history of African American athletes and the Civil Rights movement. He talks about the well-known incidents like John Carlos and Tommy Smith raising their fists in the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics, as well as many protests by people lost to history. Suffice it to say that Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the National Anthem is part of a long tradition of black athletes and protest. Among the many things discussed in this episode:  The emergence of African American boxers in the 19th century. How middle-class African Americans initially opposed black boxers but gradually came to embrace them as symbols of achievement. Why interracial boxing matches in the early 20th century, in large measure due to the dominance of black boxers over white opponents, were outlawed. How African American athletes were purged from many sports in the Jim Crow era. The rise and fall of the great African American boxer, Jack Johnson. Why riots broke out across the US when African American boxer Jack Johnson defeated Jim Jeffries in 1910. The long tradition of African American athletes using sports and protest to further Civil Rights. How protests and boycotts by the black community in cities like Washington, DC and New Orleans forced NFL franchises to bring on black players. How the NFL required cities like Atlanta, Houston, and New Orleans to desegregate before awarding them a football franchise. Where Colin Kaepernick fits into the history of protest by African American athletes.
