Kyle Kusz, a kinesiology professor at the University of Rhode Island, published a book this month titled “Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence in Post-Obama America." He theorized that Brady became popular due to the rise of “white rage and white supremacy,” according to Campus Reform.

There is still a lot of amazing professors out there. But news isn't about reporting on the good ones, it's much better headlines to find the kooks.

The problem is that the idiots like this know they can say stupid shit and gets their name out and people talking about them.

Same deal when actors, celebrities, political talking heads, youtubers, etc.. go out of their way to say something controversial. It brings them exposure/views and gets people talking.

The first thing I thought of was "Let me guess, he has a book for sale..." and sure enough, right there on Amazon.

It's all about self-promotion.

Boston sports radio was all over this today. They read the online rating system for professors and this guy has a 2.9/10 rating. Most of the comments at the rating site said the guy was leftist prick and they'd never want to take another class with him as professor.

So Tom Brady worked his ass off to get where he is in life.  Obviously loves his parents, family, etc if you watch any interviews of him......and that contributes to the white rage crap???!!!

And that's EXACTLY what these types are after.

Want to beat them? Ignore their bullshit and don't give them the spotlight. But stories like this are a lightning rod for the media and everyone has to get their comment in on it. Media plays right into their hands.

Right.

Tom Brady continues to be one of the hardest working people we know. You might could say the same for Donald Trump.

That guy needs to stick to kinesiology. Leave the book writing to someone who's not a complete dumbass.

If you go over to Tom Brady's Instagram he has pics from his two Kentucky Derby trips. One year he has 15 guys with him, two of them are black. The other year he has 16 guys with him, again, 2 of them are black dudes.

Now, with blacks making up appx 13% of the US population, doesn't want that make his black friend numbers in line with the population of the US?

My research critically examines the patterns and particularities of the stories told about white men in popular culture, reading them as politicized allegories of particular moments in history. Thus far, my work has focused on stories produced in American sport media—especially the realms of spectacle, film, and celebrity. I conceptualize these stories as under-theorized political terrains that play a key pedagogical role in forming how various publics make sense of the changing ideas of race, gender, class, and nationalism that circulate in culture. More broadly, I take seriously the critical study of popular culture, understanding it not only as a key terrain through which people develop their perceptions and beliefs about themselves, their social worlds, and American/global history and culture, writ large, but as an index of the dynamic ideological currents circulating through various American social formations. Previously, I have written about the racial and gender politics of the performances, cultural representations, and personal narratives of sport celebrities like: Tom Brady, Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, Pat Tillman, and Freddy Adu; sport-related films like: Dogtown and Z Boys, Jerry Maguire, The Fan, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Murderball; and sport formations such as extreme sports and skateboarding. Some of these analyses can be found in my book, Revolt of the White Athlete: Race, Media and the Emergence of Extreme Athletes in America (Peter Lang: New York, 2007) and in various anthologies and journals. All of this work is united by a focus on illuminating the dynamic representational strategies and logics used to re-center whiteness, reproduce white male privilege, reconstruct white nationalism(s), and commodify blackness within specific historical conjunctures of post-civil rights era America.
