Throughout the history of the sport, black bodies have been seen as fast, strong and powerful on the football field. However, there have long been questions associated with African Americans in leadership positions on the field of play. Today, nearly 70% of the players in the NFL are African American, yet very few have led their team as quarterbacks.
Inspired by these factors, our panel of former and current quarterbacks will explore the history of those that have held the position, the status of black men represented in leadership today, and the best path for success going forward.
Join us for an inspiring event moderated by Bill Rhoden, award-winning sports writer and visiting professor at Arizona State University. Panelists to be announced soon!

Global Sport Institute is heading to SXSW 2020 to host a dynamic conversation on Empowering the Athlete in the Post-Sport Journey.
Collegiate and professional athlete transitions are unique due to the typical length of preparation, intense level of identity and connectedness, and the unpredictable nature of when one’s career can end. This often leads to identity foreclosure, where an athlete sacrifices their education and additional identity options or career aspirations. We know that the more you prepare to transition out of the original dream, the more time you have to focus on the next dream and move into the reality of a new working life. Transition is eased for athletes who engage in continuous learning and when a transition plan is securely in place before the athletic experience ends. This panel will dive into the effects of transition and what can be done to help athletes prepare for life outside of sport.
