Third and a Mile was a very different book. First of all, the subtitle to this book is "An Oral History" which can seem kind of strange given that this is in a print medium. However, once you start the book the subtitle makes perfect sense. William Rhoden, the author, spent hours upon hours interviewing athletes, coaches, team owners, league officials, and other relevant historical figures as he traces the struggles of a multitude of African-americans who faced and (and is some cases were overcome by) extreme racial prejudice within the realm of pro football. Starting with Fritz Pollard, the book walks you through oral history as shared collectively by the interviewees, and you get an "eyewitness" account that takes you all the way up to current NFL qurterbacks like Donovan McNabb. Special attention is given to the "Field Generals" - a group of African-American QBs, each having contributed to civil rights history in their own era by achieveing important milestones - comprised of Marlin Briscoe, Doug Williams, Warren Moon, and James Harris. Because of the interview/eyewitness style of the book, it is an easy read. I think this book is a great way to introduce civil rights history and issues to people who love sports but may seem uninterested in thinking about issues of both personal and systemic racism in America. I plan to use a chapter in my pop culture class this fall to get my students thinking about how politics and ideologies are expressed and even battled out within pop culture.
