In a book that is destined to generate heated debate and social
analysis, noted sports attorney Donald Maurice Jackson attacks the
high incidence of criminality and irresponsible conduct among
African American athletes as well as the root causes of their
inappropriate behavior. Discrimination, selectively harsh
treatment, outright racism, irresponsible conduct, breakdown in the
African American family.which factor most frequently lands African
American athletes behind bars? From youth leagues to colleges, from
high schools to professional sports leagues, Jackson attacks these
issues head on and dispenses blame where blame is due. His
exhaustive research and unique knowledge of sports results in a
work that will have lasting relevance in the sports world.
This hard hitting book exposes the underbelly of the sports
world and the all too common consequences felt by African American
athletes that are all too often entirely unprepared to deal with
the consequences of their stardom. Are the "perpetrators" in effect
"victims" of their own fame?
"Fourth Down and Twenty Five Years to Go" is a groundbreaking
and exhaustive look into the links between athletic stardom, RACE,
fame, money and the legal system. The findings are alarming. Is
America ready for a book that looks so intensely, so honestly-so
uniquely-at the issues of race, media and sport? Thanks to Don
Jackson, we're all about to find out.
