Molinet was recruited to play professional football with the Frankford Yellow Jackets of the old NFL for a single season. In the 1930s, Mexican national JoseÌ MartiÌnez-Zorrilla achieved 1932 All-American honors. These are the beginnings of the Latino experience in American Football, which continues amidst a remarkable and diversified setting of Hispanic nationalities and ethnic groups. This history of Latinos in American Football dispels the nativists' and sports' myths that baseball, boxing, and soccer are the chosen and competent sports for Spanish-surname athletes. It documents their fascination for the sport that initially denied their participation but that could not discourage their determination to master the game."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a National Football League $x History. 610 27 $a National Football League. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00547559 650 0 $a Hispanic American football players $v Biography. 650 0 $a Hispanic American football players $x History. 650 0 $a Football $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Football. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931362 650 7 $a Hispanic American football players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957392 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Iber, Jorge, $d 1961- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A1038E0A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
