Title: Rocket Men Author: John Eisenberg Narrator: Brad Sanders Format: mp3 Length: 14 hrs and 39 mins Release date: 09-05-23 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 4 ratings Genres: Sports History Publisher's Summary: In Rocket Men, John Eisenberg offers the definitive history of Black quarterbacks in the NFL—men who shaped not only the history of football but the cause of civil rights in America. From early pioneers like Fritz Pollard to groundbreaking modern standouts like Marlin Briscoe and James “Shack” Harris, Black quarterbacks had to be twice as good as their white counterparts to get playing time—and even then, many never got that chance. That didn’t begin to change in earnest until the 1990s and the 2000s, when racist notions about what Black quarterbacks supposedly couldn’t do began to fade.
