Thats my alma mater, i've been on the phone making them aware of my extreme disgust and cessation of any further alumni support
Here's the Foundation members if there's any other alumni who want to let them know how they feel about a unhinged racist professor being employed there https://www.urifoundation.org/s/1638/03-Foundation/interior-wide.aspx?sid=1638&gid=3&pgid=936 |

There's not much that pisses me off, but when you talk smack about Ricky Bobby or Tom Brady, I do get bothered. Everybody hates a winner, it seems. |

I am surprised that there aren't more white quarterbacks. Clearly all they have to do is exploit their white privilege

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. View Quote |

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. |

Quoted: 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. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0820472514/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0 View Quote "Informed by whiteness studies, Kyle Kusz's groundbreaking book examines the role that sport discourses play in reproducing a central, normative, and superior position for white masculinity in American culture and society at the turn of the twenty-first century.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with Tom having more rings than a jewelry store. View Quote That and the fact that he is one of the best and most successful quarterbacks to ever play the game and is still going strong at 42. It's all about white supremacy. Couldn't possibly anything else. |

This author wrote a very similar piece about Andre Agassi years ago. He’s been peddling this trash idea for a while now.

Tom’s OK in my book.
This guy interacts with a plethora of serious black men EVERYDAY. One day a week some others are tasked with destroying him. He gets it. |

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? View Quote |

Do you know what "kinesiology" is? Guy is a fucking physical therapy professor. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
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. Guy is a fucking physical therapy professor. Interpretive research is a research paradigm that is based on the assumption that social reality is not singular or objective, but is rather shaped by human experiences and social contexts (ontology), and is therefore best studied within its socio-historic context by reconciling the subjective interpretations of its various participants (epistemology). Because interpretive researchers view social reality as being embedded within and impossible to abstract from their social settings, they "interpret" the reality though a "sense-making" process rather than a hypothesis testing process. This is in contrast to the positivist or functionalist paradigm that assumes that the reality is relatively independent of the context, can be abstracted from their contexts, and studied in a decomposable functional manner using objective techniques such as standardized measures. |
