	Black Athletes in 20th Century United States
		What is generally missed by many sport historical writers is that virtually all these players who broke the perennial color line distinguished themselves on the field as well as in their personal lives.
		In track and field, particularly in the coming Olympics, the overwhelming number of Black American athletes in proportion to white Olympians is radically disproportionate to the Black population in overall U.S. society.
		The dean of American sports writers, Sam Lacy, sports editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, noted in 1967 that "the African American player was much quicker to sign a contract than white players, and in comparison, was woefully under paid.".14*.

	ESPN.com: GEN - American football, Samoan style
		But if you want to find this cradle of football, you'll need a globe and a good eye, because Tutuila, the population center of America Samoa, is a 54-square-mile volcanic island in the South Pacific, more than 4,500 miles from the U.S. mainland and 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii.
		Yet an increasing number of college football programs are recruiting the island, plucking players from its six high school teams and placing them directly onto their squads or at junior colleges.
		Football was barely a blip anywhere on the planet when the United States annexed most of what would become American Samoa in 1900.

	Bookreporter.com - Sports Feature - FALL FOOTBALL READING
		This fall, to coincide with what appears to be another banner football season, an outstanding crop of football books is available for those fans who wish to supplement their love of the game with a good book.
		Very few if any of the players are paid for their efforts, and indeed most players purchase their own equipment and often must contribute towards travel expenses and other team costs.
		If the players portrayed in DREAM SEASON represent one end of the football-playing spectrum, the athletes who are the subject of Bill Pennington's THE HEISMAN symbolize the cream of the football crop, combatants whose football careers contribute to the legend of the game.

	Pro Football Hall of Fame
		Great players like Tom Sestak, Lionel Taylor, Johnny Robinson, Abner Haynes, and numerous other American Football League stars are ignored by the "pro football" hall of fame, because they played in the wrong league.
		The "pro football" hall of fame was formed as a Canton, Ohio community effort and needed the support of the NFL to prosper and grow.
		Even after American Football League writers were added to the hall’s selectors (only after the leagues merged), the majority of selectors were from NFL cities.

		For many Latin American players, Buenos Aires is a stop on the way to Europe: the springboard from which they can reach, once and for all, the wealth and fame that they have sought since they were children.

	American Chronicle: Is online gambling about to go the way of the manual typewriter?
		If there was probably a group of athletes who may succumb to mental illness, it’s an NFL player and in lieu of the Terrell Owens situation, I am wondering just what kind of health coverage the current players and retired players have in their respective packages.
		It’s unfathomable for me to think that a professional football player can be a happy go lucky guy and that he is just happy to be playing.

	MacAddict Forums / Football vs Football (American vs Soccer)
		It is also a fact that a soccer player could go play any other sport and be good at it but those players of other sports couldn't play soccer.
		I guarantee you that if you take a tennis player and have him play soccer for the first time, that he will be much better at soccer than a soccer player forced to play tennis for the first time.
		Personally I'd put my money on Alexander Karelin (I know he's retired, but I think without a jersey to get pulled over his head any hockey player would be at a loss).

	Scout.com: Gatski's Number 72 Joins Long List Nationwide
		Gatski, and other Marshall players in 1941-42, could earn no all-league honors for these years as the Herd was an independent, belonging to the West Virginia Athletic Conference in a non-competing basis, although Hunt, Pearcy and Gatski were mentioned in newspapers of the era as among the best in the state.
		The University of Tennessee had retired the numbers of four players in 1946 who were killed in the war; just recently, they announced they would add Reggie White, Peyton Manning and Doug Adkins to that list, causing outrage in some quarters while others said it was about time.
		Now, for the first time, a football number will be set aside as #72, worn by Frank "Gunner" Gatski, will not be worn again...except by Ryan Baynes, the junior Herd guard who currently wears the number and will, one presumes, allowed to wear the number until his career is over in 2006.

		BORDEAUX, France (AP) - After seven years of domination by a cancer survivor, the Tour de France has now discovered that one of the favourites to succeed Lance Armstrong, former teammate Floyd Landis, is riding with an arthritic hip so painful he plans to replace it with a prosthetic after the three-week race.
