He left coaching b ecause he was asked by white owned media if he felt he was worthy to be a coach\, after just winning the NBA championship as a coach\, so he compreh ended that no matter what he did\, media would act like he still hasn't ea rned or still hasn't warranted\, so he left.Bill Russell's spirit flew as well\, the most honest Black basketball in media everon coaching LINK on Black Youth LINK I PAraphrase Bill russell\, use the link above to veri fy or read the whole below \"You have guys who have been pampered for 10-1 5 years. So you can't say this is an example. Or this is an average guy. M ost athletes\, my self included\, are self centered. Maybe psychologically that is why we plays sports\, but it is not normal. ... If i  am going t o go into Harlem\, and go to a play ground and say to kids\, if you work h ard you can do the same thing I did\, that would be a lie. That would be u nfair to myself and unfair to the kids. I can say to the kids\, do your be st and fight it everyday. But to say I am an example of the greatness of t he country\, that is not true. If I am going to be honest to myself\, I am an exception and have treated as an exception for years and years. The pr oblem is I am only treated as an exception in certain areas. \" FULL TRAN SCRIPT \, UNCHECKED\, for Black Youth link below[BEEP] [SILENCE] [MUSIC] [ MUSIC] pound the subways of New York City for an investigation into the Tr ansit Authority Workers Union.

and the memory absolutely right all over the country black workers are coming tog ether to challenge racism which has prevented us from getting our fair sha re of job opportunities in america the record is clear a star was cracked unions have excluded blacks the federal government has enforced anti discr imination laws state and local doctor says often condone discrimination th e struggle goes on across the country in the private as well as the public sector concentrating in the construction automobiles stealing calling ind ustries and in all public employment construction has been hardest hit by black protest statistics show black workers will only two percent of the e ight hundred thousand high paying skilled jobs in this industry blacks alr eady and many major unions have former black caucus as to demand that thes e unions relate to the needs and aspirations of black workers they want a real voice in union policy making or black workers are in the majority the y're insisting on control of the unions for instance the new york citi bik es and puerto ricans make up the majority of workers in the rapid transit system for the areas controlled by whites a group called the rank and file committee for democratic union is determined to change that they're strug gling to overthrow part why controlled te wu and set up their own union wh ich were fairly represent black and puerto rican workers he's with these w ere a tuna i mean while committees objective is to establish electorate an d they need to do this they must first obtained signatures from thirty per cent of transit workers and call for a state supervised election for twent y eight thousand transit workers but dzhokhar the president the right to f ile committee explains why his group's exchange disney thank you it is i'm sorry they're appealing to both black and white workers for the signature is maintaining that an undemocratic union betrays the objectives of all w e're just amazed that almost seventy percent of transit workers are black and puerto rican leadership are still seventy five percent white union lea ders they say are elected by mail ballots were actually colored by union o fficials ever have a real chance because the mental illness a mail ballot well after negotiations are concluded and activist the result of any poten tial strike threat this sort of the union doesn't really live in a region where church and that some supervisors discriminate but they face a diffic ult fight it is hard for them to reach large numbers of workers because at this time the organization is small they have the outsiders like the reso urces at vanguard and they are challenging a rich and powerful union that' s a nice day i found out that they were so vulnerable on this question bec ause of the fact that they didn't have an integral couple says they only h ad about two offices to executive board offices out of about thirty two qu ote fallout for vice president of the union that these people don't repres ent the blog where does that industry is the people that do exactly what t hey're going to with roosevelt once executive vice president of the transp ort workers union and has one of the common the dissident this land has tr ied to run for office in his unit last word is about ten years ago he ran for such an officer with hal conductors <\;unk>\; level and there he w as recruited he was defeated day out of about three thousand volts i'm thi nking a hundred and fifty it was the last night i can file charges that is controlled and says joel carnegie has no support among the westerns two y ears later he was successful enough to get the required amount of signatur es and he ran for the president of local one hundred and how about ninetee n thousand ballots cast got about two thousand that's right it is we tried to run an opposition slaves within the union vote against the top offices and once they do that they just don't have a chance because they counted from the workers' wages it's it uses the undemocratic bilbao is also used in ratifying contracts about others on rather than there's no conference a nd so what happens is that they have made that when the union in advance o f montana's that shoved down our throat so yes so that's one of the reason s why we thought that it was necessary to go through the necessary steps g etting a thirty percent of aig can't or representational action to decide who will be to solve our transit workers delaney simmons they're forbidden by chance of a forty regulations to solicit signatures on to a property a nd were previously arrested at this location they assert that they have no real access to great numbers of workers unless they reach them on the job why are you are you it's been nice being nice sneakers the rest of us pro perty what the lender while the group was constantly faced with an apparen t double standard in the slow pace at the league doesn't organize on to a property and they demand the same rights and then in a transit authority a ssignment room supposedly off limits for union organization works it wu li terature as plainly and evidence it's been carnegie's group no absolute fr eedom of all the truth about a property there's only one is that record an d that was with a transit policeman in that would address what they do yea h i'm seventy disciplinary procedures call your record mr dr william roman chairman metropolitan transit authority a transit authority workers other refused to appear for an interview to discuss the rank and file charges a re your members these other top aid officers or transport workers local on e hundred and one point and file contends that mr watts was appointed as a direct result of their earlier efforts for more like representations to m embers of the joint executive authority wu the policymaking and yolk it ad dresses a regular monday night organizers me every month and they are pass ing you know what this means is that signature is that we can get a repres entation of much of the union representation election to decide who are th e vessel at ws thank you it is yeah the country what workers are clearly s aying unions must institute democratic reform or face stiff challenges fro m an increasingly militant white labor movement you did thank you nice you are jenny the a good camp the nigerian civil war is over like americans l ook to niger to fulfill its great promise as a major african nation of a l aw that sought to be torn into by prejudice and subversion from within and hostile foreign pressures from abroad should be a stern lesson to black p eople everywhere perhaps novel white americans were leftover naked startin g the africans on africa's their concern was suffering people in their own country and lamont democratic controlled southern part of africa has for us perhaps as we observe the new unity among your laws the houses and he g oes and the hundreds of other ethnic groups of nigerian afro americans wil l push to settle the remaining differences among us so we may have greater unity on our post game of nightmares over niger as african nation can res ume the important after revealing so what will the seventies the whole clu bb afro americans what have the past year meant to our struggle for freedo m what effect will events of the sixties have on the present decade not ch arles hamilton professor of political science at columbia university confe rence the year nineteen sixty nine was a reflection of the decade of the n ineteen sixties in terms of action in the white community one might view e vents of the past year and project in the nineteen seventies in terms of t hree major categories thursday black struggle as broadening its base of bu t as a patient and beginning to add new targets to its protests examples o f this would include that the increased activity all welfare rights groups and blackstone organizations like rise we saw the demand by blacks that t he white churches began to put their money where some of their individual ears of that all the time on the line in the form of demands reparations t o blacks for years of those churches but as a patient and then benefit fro m a ration system it wasn't fact is that the black male in america has wor ked from sixteen nineteen eighteen sixty five without due compensation for his labor the calculation and what in fact is the real figure for reparat ions as something amore tundra comes may well and to take second the year witnessed a continued moon to consolidate local political economic power t he demands for community controlled schools community control of police an d land continue evidence a growing electoral power was shown in various el ections around the country this year in fayette mississippi greene county alabama and in several northern cities this electoral organization kampala will continue and directly into the nineteen seventies with more blacks b eing elected office where the numbers and the organizational skills come t ogether and these will be black elected officials more responsive to their black constituencies where they too will feel a punishment of rejection a nd later elections because it's a it's quite unlikely that the intense str uggle for political power will be ways to simply to be turned over to trad itional a new forces and the shame a question only nineteen sixty nine was a very harsh reminder of the repressive nature of the system in the form of continued killings of members of the black panthers no one should be na ive to believe that when a group begins to move that the system will not r etaliate in some form or another to counter this black struggle is constan tly reminded that organization unity and scales very basic are absolutely essential nineteen sixty nine was a year of continued little struggle for black survival and development it was a year that set the agenda in the ni neteen seventies the increased involvement of more groups and lodging that goes to include much more concern for the acquisition of political and ec onomic power in addition to a legal and constitutional rights and finally greater demands for a re allocation of national economic resources i think the one area in this country where we have demonstrated are excellent as the athletic freedom however we check it out with greater than america kno ws that the black athlete has also been the victim of volatility would lik e to apply brothers you know those were really thinking about the man who broke the color line in the country he went on a nineteen fifty two that t he baseball hall of fame with a jackie robinson the voting affinities of h ow things like economic and political football in this country will russel l the man who led the boston celtics to attend world championships over th e last twelve years in nineteen sixty eight he became the first black coac h in the national basketball association after winning the championship bi ll russell retired a member of the team would successfully defended the da vis cup this past fall for the past four years he has been the only black player in the lily white world of big league pennants it had window that h as on the country we would even be considered for membership offer called the movie and i thought the invitation from the nineteen thirty one davis cup competition is left one about the defensive captain of the nineties si xty eight world champion new york jets he led the team that year in and th at it had boosted of the entire nineteen fifty nine feet and with a seriou s back injury a veteran of ten years and will continue to be one of the mo re hopeful than like minimal i am with organized over the vatican out the stark black voters about the nineteen fifty eight geology i think the blac k athlete has had a very large role to play in the soul of the spirit of t he black community because it was a television out of sports as part of a bird those messages the mass media in this is it there's a lot of criticis m from people who are great deal criticism these days the luckiest the mas s media the news reporting etcetera but i think that the sports industry i n and of itself has agreed to a responsibility the degree to which sports in fact has not brought people together in this is that it's because they haven't told the truth that would tend to under manned some of the establi shed institutionalized racism discrimination the prejudice that exist betw een people in a society they've tended to do the business that in fact wha t you see on the field is a hug ma actress topic yeah all portrait of real ity in the masses that in that there's this is to the system consideration this is because apart from the time they were semi is no liberal as elect ric cars and they are getting a rueful there nobody really cares what they think in florida none of that civil defense and so you can say that this is an example or this is beverage that causes that causes most deadly summ er in lots of liquid social reason may be psychosomatic me with a sport ma ybe i will comfort so it doesn't driving force to make it a sport that is not know i would have not been to but the people that have these are your restaurant a successful landing in any field i think that i worked as hard and have him as much larger monthly at the rich where did as citizens are motivated and that is a hub for me was ever going to say that we're going to hunt angle and going to one of the kids in this review of it was i lea rned and if you're like me and only unfair to my stomach as a kid but my c ity kids do this and find every day were to say that madame example of the reasons of the country that's not true because i have a feeling i'm an ex ception the problem that we have is that certain areas and what about that there hasn't been any significant advancement of developments that i thin k that we have to understand about the so progress on call that we've made is that must decide then the weekend cuban gates bill russell in basketba ll that nothing gets that bill russell and wilt when the courts are the sa me things happened in any case you know would be acceptable but we still h ave to be used to have opposed the knob down the little barefoot tokenism it just all practical purposes we do not have any blacklisted and professi onal athletics all practical purposes not have anything that we're like yo u can go on to professional athletics and then do a good job and say well i can afford to be a manager our coach with cummings is that i get this qu estion on serving back in contention in air that they say no tears remembe r do you mean and i'd like a comparison team sports was an effect in the s mall corporations they're still run for stockholders want to make money no t make money some items so enfranchise someone who thinks he can make mone y that extent the universal baseball to ready for hillary clinton is just like another small quarters president and vice presidents hierarchy of adm inistrative work it is no different than a regime where that they may have some of the same religious attitudes about hiring lots of this alert leve l and as harris in tokenism may be construed as progress business in fact my biggest single reason that has it and the super bowl last year which is n't only because of advertising for one minute was about a hundred and eig hty thousand dollars but some of that is ever been paid for what does the big athletic says leave the nineteen twenty four years nineteen sixty nine as it is now a blog emilie most of this year the three star wars not an o bama supporter roy the plentiful beardsley joins us and we was you know wh at does draw on as you go up the ladder no you have to work and strive to work that you have to salute the work where you have the courtyard and con tinued instructions allegedly negative official of this level football bas eball does or whatever it may be you see things happening around the white athletes get sort of a it's really one of the contracting it's white doug h manager at thirty and once there is a white marble animal bible belt loa ds more they also may be the place it used to happen in the spotlight at t his isn't a zone of the white mountains and it's a job making fifteen twen ty thousand miles and all season when the black ballplayers among the job than a hundred dollars a week these are the things that this one in which the lack of legal they had been a professional football which i'm connecti ng with us what managers and coaches roaming the headquarters and of these things over the urban activist susan minister of britain and to know wher e on the job one of the assistant coaches for five years beginning to alex way that was consistent with the two years as you've been explaining thei r counselor about football that will allow these things are going to kill you now i mean is it is there anything that the black athletes can do abou t this or that the plans can too bothersome into changes to some of them d emonstrators in nineteen sixty seven we get more movement in athletics awa y from the status quo than at any other time or a lot of the car that beat against the bad people in amateur athletics in particular the whole movem ent around to litigate dhabi black athletes instead of that when i want to go to litigate because we did not feel that this country is getting off a just great as human beings that we have the last word of the skills we ha ve to demonstrate that they are not the taliban well a pick atlanta little to stop an average of the people of all that i am and actually this is wh at i know this is my work i use this as a tool without and you have a tool to make a living and i can say they used their the two in order to lead a nd it just about my humanity not to demonstrate my humanity i don't think about it and now we can really where we reached a point where because ther e's no actually preceded us and i think that if the kids today don't worry it's not a matter of probability it causes like it's now know i think his answers are where the investors who at this emerging was the word of the world well it's natural quite proud of the fact that the guys are standing up and being counted i don't i wish we had done the very same thing and w e were i'm playing ball glitz that up i got scarcely at the onset they hav e a kind of troubles that they're having a day i think it is this present generation doesn't stand up and even more that once their kids are growing up playing out the same kind of promise all it builds these kids to stand up and hillary can they possibly can but there's one thing that concerns me and i wonder what the feeling is here ah honey feel about the situation where the south africans come here and the late gary player like i think it is safe to me to think that there'll be a song connelly says we were we 've attempted to to contact a member of some of the summer golfers have ha d difficulty getting in touch with him in the land that we have got in tou ch with you know where's your identity cooperation very much effort led th em at a landfill in boston atlanta ga ga players themselves ayatollah once if assad can expect the golfers to join in and i think we need sportswrit ers doug o'neill of the games business and such organization of the formal ities that in the whole thing at this critical part of the simple fact tha t the films what the protests live eventually leads back to me in one way or another scene to haul the whole thing that we are developing a vision t o open up on the ground that at around that this was coming for an athleti c federation that i think will take up a lot of slack that the number of u s have been trying to hold down since as for the state wichita which is so what does he have that goes back to some point where you have to take the state you have to believe in something you have to have a principal and y ou have to stand up for it no matter what happens on the water pages damag es them but one thing i think people watching the meantime the oven and lo ok for a future is that that growing militancy among athletes is not gonna stop what it is is that is gaining momentum take a stand instead of getti ng better things are gonna get worse then as i said before a professional and things are themselves corporations they are products of the american i deal that idea of sometimes twice that wasn't i was too has a half homeown ers it is it is full of all the good and the bad as is it shows and instea d of getting better it's going to get worse in years to more demonstration s that we see more oil manifest those one where another and to see more at hletes even a ritual there were guys in their professional chess is saying whoa whoa that thing where the skiing on this this cause because of sorts though and i just said that and it's not that way headlines like the news conferences in the days when the case started moving his face in one plac e or another it became the best reason that and for five years the demonst rations are so commonplace there on page fifty and they had lines in engli sh we must hurt a new tactic to gain the attention of the public say i thi nk i don't think there's any question that the decade the seventies in par ticular are going to be about the turbulent six instances were turbulent a nd turbulent without any particular program they were turbulent and as a d rama to dramatizing affect your turban dramatic sense i think of the seven ties a lot of the turbulent in a diabolical sons of people are going to si t down and what a match up of the management operational levels programs a nd what has happened i've attended these allies that they're not going to have time to really portion for them develop a program for middle class th at the progress is allowed to sit down and look at the society and i want to begin to take a pot of those links of injustice and an impression but t hen there are those kinds of the last twenty years ago those things that o ne by one i think that athletics is that there's going to be as much carbo n is as if they were going to have some blind man's of the committee said that that was not the architect of a baseball game or a basketball that wa s just coming at the person huckabee and finance and this is the republica ns and i think this is a parcel of the way we are the robert shelton says this country who come out of prison because of a refusal to make estimates that complex plan and then they go and testify that they're going to driv e to suppress the negro in this country now we don't hear anything coming from the attorney general's office about this candidate it but to let the harry edwards a word an organizer was like the banana scene country comes up to me and not a word of this except a small thing in the newspaper abou t robert shelton sets if you'd like to make a bomb on a concern about robe rt so how i really found that the robert shelton you can spot a mile of hi s cancelled toyota designers is the one i think that what we have to reall y be concerned about look i think that often has alluded to the constituti onal relationships that have been perpetuated his conjugal the last fifty or sixty years since the seminal this week that have become entrenched alo ng that landscape the middle out and respectable as going to church on sun day let me ask you this well i want to find out and on this track set up i n life nothing i have never been so proud of individuals of tommy smith an d john carlos olympic games i think this to me was the greatest demonstrat ion of a personal conviction and private eye that i've really seen it and then the tissue has guy standing up there sander well as i saw it i'm prou d i can't live like this has kind of a sudden you see a guy running around the ring wave of the flag and you get sick inside was awful a wave of lau ghter but what concerns me now is the what i see is a very concerted effor t to trial against these guys and i thought that brought a great deal dign ity and self respect to the black community are you really here casale abo ut what's happened tom has suddenly and what these guys who have really ma de black people tremendously proud not only overcome if what happened harr y can that's how us live now is for ball for cincinnati bengals i asked le e evans isn't school and in those tunnels a john carlson school themselves a more severe mark whitaker the arctic has been an athletic simple vessel amateur there's no question that had thomas lipton's on cars that the ame rican flag a man ran around here with that you know they have a vivid that they committed right on to heart this is not the case that either been ce rtain rules about communities in and around cincinnati to do everything fr om to with ten times about your contract is get the hell out of us has no authority to us led of the intimidation against his wife and families don' t think i have the same thing is happening with earlier the house and all these athletes have come out of the problem i think that we have a respons ible people such as jackie robinson thousands who has listened to have eco nomic ties as political task but some point that people who are in positio ns to give these people some insulation should begin to get them set up in business together and tied into our positions where they can be assured o f a lab right now the spot where they can be visible we could set these pe ople out there are people like thomas within our citizens individuals say look like he backed the back is that the smugglers the fifth beatle and th at will cause porn again of the establishment in this country status quo a s you know showed the neighbors that you know confront the white man would 've done politically socially them away and the windup and if you think of the osprey have a lot of all of the number ones that can help them and en sure that they're in this position at apple the people in the press box fb i know i know you know i do great job there is now what is it just becaus e transition no joke systems these people it's the music that relates dire ctly to them like you know the music raging sale next month one day siege at all today kish but did it end and This is NET -- the Public Television Network. CONTENT https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12846-lebron-james-goes-to-ph illy-76ers/#findComment-82805 contentPioneer FirstLebron James has never stopped working out\, jordan did\, that is why jordan's time with the wiza rds was atrocious. Lebron is playing a team sport\, Tyson isn't. Boxing is a sport that is singular\, thus\, the individual variance has a greater e ffect on results\, in team sports\, an older player can play with younger ones to offset the ocllective abilityLEbron james never took a break\, Ser ena did. Serena williams had ababy and relaxed and then came back\, that break took her off the train of the kind of training needed to remain at t he top level\, and tennis in singles is like boxing.Second What you seem t o not realize is modern sport is so attached to media hype that older supe rstars make tons of money. In most sports today\, the biggest stars in ter ms of attracting sponsors tend to be the oldest. Messi or cr7 in futebol/l ebron/jackovic in tennis . many of these sports want the superstars to kee p playing. and most of these athletes dont mind cause many of them have sp ent their whol elives as Bill russell said\, being courted so they don't h ave anything else but playing sport. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/449 -bill-russell-born-1934/ DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250212 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
