Calcutta Cricket & Football Club

Founded in 1792 as Calcutta Cricket Club Clippers and later in 1965 as Calcutta Cricket & Football Club after merging with Calcutta Football Club, CCFC was the first sporting institution in erstwhile British India. The club was established as a gentlemen's club in Kolkata, the capital of British India. The club was the founding member of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). The oldest cricket club in the world, it has significantly contributed to sports development in India.

Calcutta Football Club was established in 1872 as a rugby union club. It was the oldest patron club outside the UK to form Rugby Football Union. Club membership was restricted to people belonging to the upper strata of British middle class. Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari, known as the father of football in India taught association football to his classmates at Hare School after observing British soldiers playing in the Calcutta FC ground. The club was one of the founding members of the Indian Football Association (IFA) in 1893, then run by British administrators. The primary sport Rugby, later suffered because of the departure of British regiments. Bicycle Polo division (now known as Cycle Polo) was formed in 1901–02, and being played since then in CC&FC.

After acquiring both "Ballygunge Cricket Club" (1864–1950) and "Calcutta Football Club" (1872–77; 1884–1965) in 1965, the institution completed all the absorptions to introduce themselves under the name of "Calcutta Cricket and Football Club" (CC&FC). Sports still being practised at the club include: cricket, football, field hockey, rugby, cycle polo, swimming, tennis, and bridge.

In this blog, we will be focusing on the club's football section. After being established in 1872, the club became one of the first three European football clubs in India- the other two being Dalhousie AC and Calcutta Rangers. They soon emerged as one of the leading football teams in the Bengal Presidency. It then consisted of European players and enjoyed fierce rivalry predominantly with the indigenous outfit Mohun Bagan AC. The team for the first time was defeated by Mohun Bagan in 1923 in the return leg of CFL but managed to clinch both the league and IFA Shield titles in that season. Calcutta FC was the most successful team in British India, winning 8 CFL titles & 9 IFA Shield titles. The 1936 edition of the IFA Shield was the club's last notable campaign in which they reached the final but failed to win the title as Mohammedan Sporting became the first all-Indian team since 1911 to clinch the title, beating CC&FC 2–1. The crest of CC&FC has numerous versions, while the present version contains a shield, with four stripes, in club colours black, red, and white, with initials of "CCFC" and foundation year 1792. Red and white as club colours, were introduced in 1877, during the tenure of G. A. J. Rothney as CC&FC's honorary secretary and treasurer, who played the crucial role in funding the club.

Due to the absence of a permanent venue in earlier days, the club used grounds in Esplanade, parallel with grounds on the bank of river Hooghly, between Fort William and Government House. In 1825, 'Sketch of the Maidan' was done by the club, and in 1841, they were allowed to enclose the ground. The club used the eastern end of the Eden Gardens from the 1860s until shifting its base to Ballygunge in the 1950s. CC&FC later established its earlier known headquarters at the Eden Gardens and built a pavilion there in 1871. Today, the club uses Calcutta FC Ground in Maidan.

In the present day, the club competes in the Calcutta Football League premier division. The CFL, which was once India's premier football league has been reduced to a state league that only employs Indians, reducing the overall quality of football. The club which was once one of the biggest in the subcontinent has lost its importance today. Nevertheless, the club's contribution to the development of sports such as football, hockey, cricket and rugby union in India will never be forgotten.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

June 2, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

JUN 03, 2024

Today is the one-hundredth anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act, which declared that “all non-citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.”

That declaration had been a long time coming. The Constitution, ratified in 1789, excluded “Indians not taxed” from the population on which officials would calculate representation in the House of Representatives. In the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, the Supreme Court reiterated that Indigenous tribes were independent nations. It called Indigenous peoples equivalent to “the subjects of any other foreign Government.” They could be naturalized, thereby becoming citizens of a state and of the United States. And at that point, they “would be entitled to all the rights and privileges which would belong to an emigrant from any other foreign people.”

The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, established that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But it continued to exclude “Indians not taxed” from the population used to calculate representation in the House of Representatives.

In 1880, John Elk, a member of the Winnebago tribe, tried to register to vote, saying he had been living off the reservation and had renounced the tribal affiliation under which he was born. In 1884, in Elk v. Wilkins, the Supreme Court affirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution did not cover Indigenous Americans who were living under the jurisdiction of a tribe when they were born. In 1887 the Dawes Act provided that any Indigenous American who accepted an individual land grant could become a citizen, but those who did not remained noncitizens. 

As Interior Secretary Deb Haaland pointed out today in an article in Native News Online, Elk v. Wilkins meant that when Olympians Louis Tewanima and Jim Thorpe represented the United States in the 1912 Olympic games in Stockholm, Sweden, they were not legally American citizens. A member of the Hopi Tribe, Tewanima won the silver medal for the 10,000 meter run. 

Thorpe was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, and in 1912 he won two Olympic gold medals, in Classic pentathlon—sprint hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, and middle distance run—and in decathlon, which added five more track and field events to the Classic pentathlon. The Associated Press later voted Thorpe “The Greatest Athlete of the First Half of the Century” as he played both professional football and professional baseball, but it was his wins at the 1912 Olympics that made him a legend. Congratulating him on his win, Sweden’s King Gustav V allegedly said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”  

Still, it was World War I that forced lawmakers to confront the contradiction of noncitizen Indigenous Americans. According to the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, more than 11,000 American Indians served in World War I: nearly 5,000 enlisted and about 6,500 were drafted, making up a total of about 25% of Indigenous men despite the fact that most Indigenous men were not citizens. 

It was during World War I that members of the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations began to transmit messages for the American forces in a code based in their own languages, the inspiration for the Code Talkers of World War II. In 1919, in recognition of “the American Indian as a soldier of our army, fighting on foreign fields for liberty and justice,” as General John Pershing put it, Congress passed a law to grant citizenship to Indigenous American veterans of World War I. 

That citizenship law raised the question of citizenship for those Indigenous Americans who had neither assimilated nor served in the military. The non-Native community was divided on the question; so was the Native community. Some thought citizenship would protect their rights, while others worried that it would strip them of the rights they held under treaties negotiated with them as separate and sovereign nations and was a way to force them to assimilate. 

On June 2, 1924, Congress passed the measure, its supporters largely hoping that Indigenous citizenship would help to clean up the corruption in the Department of Indian Affairs. The new law applied to about 125,000 people out of an Indigenous population of about 300,000.

But in that era, citizenship did not confer civil rights. In 1941, shortly after Elizabeth Peratrovich and her husband, Roy, both members of the Tlingit Nation, moved from Klawok, Alaska, to the city of Juneau, they found a sign on a nearby inn saying, “No Natives Allowed.” This, they felt, contrasted dramatically with the American uniforms Indigenous Americans were wearing overseas, and they said as much in a letter to Alaska’s governor, Ernest H. Gruening. The sign was “an outrage,” they wrote. “The proprietor of Douglas Inn does not seem to realize that our Native boys are just as willing as the white boys to lay down their lives to protect the freedom that he enjoys." 

With the support of the governor, Elizabeth started a campaign to get an antidiscrimination bill through the legislature. It failed in 1943, but passed the House in 1945 as a packed gallery looked on. The measure had the votes to pass in the Senate, but one opponent demanded: "Who are these people, barely out of savagery, who want to associate with us whites with 5,000 years of recorded civilization behind us?"

Elizabeth Peratrovich had been quietly knitting in the gallery, but during the public comment period, she said she would like to be heard. She crossed the chamber to stand by the Senate president. “I would not have expected,” she said, “that I, who am barely out of savagery, would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them of our Bill of Rights.” She detailed the ways in which discrimination daily hampered the lives of herself, her husband, and her children. She finished to wild applause, and the Senate passed the nation’s first antidiscrimination act by a vote of 11 to 5. 

Indigenous veterans came home from World War II to discover they still could not vote. In Arizona, Maricopa county recorder Roger G. Laveen refused to register returning veterans of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, including Frank Harrison, to vote. He cited an earlier court decision saying Indigenous Americans were “persons under guardianship.” They sued, and the Arizona Supreme Court agreed that the phrase only applied to judicial guardianship.  

In New Mexico, Miguel Trujillo, a schoolteacher from Isleta Pueblo who had served as a Marine in World War II, sued the county registrar who refused to enroll him as a voter. In 1948, in Trujillo v. Garley, a state court agreed that the clause in the New Mexico constitution prohibiting “Indians not taxed” from voting violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments by placing a unique requirement on Indigenous Americans. It was not until 1957 that Utah removed its restrictions on Indigenous voting, the last of the states to do so.

The 1965 Voting Rights Act protected Native American voting rights along with the voting rights of all Americans, and they, like all Americans, are affected by the Supreme Court’s hollowing out of the law and the wave of voter suppression laws state legislators who have bought into Trump’s Big Lie have passed since 2021. Voter ID laws that require street addresses cut out many people who live on reservations, and lack of access to polling places cuts out others. 

Katie Friel and Emil Mella Pablo of the Brennan Center noted in 2022 that, for example, people who live on Nevada’s Duckwater reservation have to travel 140 miles each way to get to the closest elections office. “As the first and original peoples of this land, we have had only a century of recognized citizenship, and we continue to face systematic barriers when exercising the fundamental and hard-fought-for right to vote,” Democratic National Committee Native Caucus chair Clara Pratte said in a press release from the Democratic Party.

As part of the commemoration of the Indian Citizenship Act, the Democratic National Committee is distributing voter engagement and protection information in Apache, Ho-Chunk, Hopi, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshone, and Zuni.

Don Shula

Physique: Average Build Height: 5'11" (1.80 m)

Donald Francis Shula (January 4, 1930 – May 4, 2020) was an American professional football player and coach who was best known as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, the team he led to two Super Bowl victories, and to the only perfect season in the history of the NFL. He had only two losing seasons in his 33-year career as a head coach in the NFL. He currently holds the NFL record for most career wins as a head coach, with 347. Shula was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997. Shula is regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. He died on May 4, 2020 in Indian Creek, Florida, at the age of 90.

Back in the day, the Miami Dolphins was my second favorite team and looking back now, Don was the reason why. Handsome, thick with a jutting jaw and and if you look closely you will note that he has a ferociously furry chest. he had a fierce look, whether pacing the practice field, demanding that his players be prepared, or exhorting his teams from the sidelines. I would have love to start on his team as a tight end and finishing up as a wide receiver. You know what I’m talking about. A Shula dick down.

The Grand River, OH native was married twice with eight total children, 16 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He falls into my "loves to fuck theory." He was the kind of man I could spend hours with. Look at him, he just look like he could give you a good ass-pounding. But being a devout Roman Catholic, he would probably disagree. Although you have to admit, it's a crying shame that Shula wasn't a bull butt-fucking regularly at gay orgies.

Native American activists under attack via cancel culture say they hope to stop woke efforts today from obliterating wide swaths of United States heritage and history.  

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Boy Scouts of America both appear to be erasing traces of their Native American heritage, according to activists and to the evidence as well. 

Also, America’s most famous Chiefs fan right now, Taylor Swift, is being hailed by some as the great woke hope who can force the franchise to cave to charges of racism and end its “tomahawk chop” chant.

Not in Our Honor, a Kansas City-based group, said it was “hopeful” that Swift would be an “ally” in their effort to force the team to end the tradition, according to media reports during the football season. 

The legacy of popular Kansas City, Missouri mayor and Arapaho tribal member Harold Roe “Chief” Bartle could be obliterated in the fallout. He is a foundational figure in the history of both the Chiefs and the Boy Scouts — at least until he’s canceled, American Indians fear. 

“It’s a woke firing squad looking to tear everything down by telling us that Native Americans and Americans need to be divided,” social media influencer Maurice the Native Patriot (@lanativepatriot), a Swinomish Indian from Washington state, told Fox News Digital in an interview last week.

“It’s become popular to think that even seeing a Native American image is racist.”

Bartle was mayor of Kansas City in the 1960s, when the AFL’s Dallas Texans moved to town. The team was renamed in honor of his efforts to land the franchise, according to the team website and many other sources. Bartle also spent much of his life in the service of the Boy Scouts. He was a champion of civil rights, according to several biographies, as well as devoted to Native American heritage. But his multicultural legacy is in jeopardy now as both the Chiefs and the Scouts are distancing themselves from their Native American roots. 

“Native American history is American history,” Tony Henson, the executive director of the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), headquartered in North Dakota, told Fox News Digital.

“This effort to divide us comes from the ‘hate-America’ Marxist crowd that wants to tear down tradition and rebuild the United States in their own image,” Henson said. 

Yet the Boy Scouts are “looking to remove all Native American aspects of the program,” one Pennsylvania troop leader wrote in an e-mail obtained by Fox News Digital.

The troop is also said to be scrambling to create a new insignia to replace “a Native American chief/brave logo” that it’s been using “for over 60 years” to meet what the letter claims is a new directive from the Boy Scouts of America. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the organization, which refuted those claims. “There is no national mandate from the BSA to remove all Native American imagery from the Scouting program,” Scott Armstrong, national spokesperson for the Boy Scouts of America, told Fox News Digital in response.

He said local Boy Scouts troops may have “misinterpreted” guidance about dialogue with local First Nations leaders. 

“The goal is proper respect, not removal,” said Armstrong.

Top 5 Upcoming Gay Movies in 2023

5. The History of Sound - Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor in a gay romance period drama? We’re looking forward to that actually! Anyways, they were supposed to film it this year, but they had busy schedules. Current plan is next year. Also Paul was hanging out with the director last month, so maybe something’s cooking. 4. Glitter & Doom - described as a summer romance musical feature told with the iconic tunes of folk duo Indigo Girls. Film follows a musician who wears charisma as camouflage and a carefree guy about to run away with the circus as they fall in love at first sight. Sounds fun. 3. Nuovo Olimpo - any Ferzan Özpetek fans? Any Manuel from Un professore fans? Well, looks like we won. Period drama set in Italy, following two men who have a chance encounter and then fall deeply in love, and then are torn apart. The film then follows them both over the next decades as they attempt to find each other again. 2. Strangers - yes, another one with Paul Mescal... yes, I’m crazy. And hi Andrew Scott. Directed by Andrew Haigh (Weekend, HBO’s Looking). Word on the street is that their characters will be romantically involved since Mescal's character corresponds to a woman who has a romance with the protagonist (Scott) in the original novel. We will be tuning in. 1. Bonus Track - film set in 2006, follows a small-town boy with dreams of being a gifted musician. When the son of an iconic musical duo enrols at his school, a powerful bond between the boys begins to grow. Based on an original story by Josh O'Connor (yes, him) and Michael Gilbert.

Anyways, that is it. There are a lot of movies that weren’t released THIS year yet, and I’m looking forward to them (Punch, Aristotle and Dante, Spoiler Alert,...). But I would be just repeating myself, so I’m not gonna talk about that.

HISTORY:

[ murder mention tw, death mention tw, supernatural stalking tw, infidelity mention tw ]

CHILDHOOD

Born Baskar Reza Klein, youngest child of Joost Klein, a second generation immigrant from the UK, and Citra Batubara, a local woman and a school teacher, in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 14th of April 1995.

Has two older sisters who are 18 and 13 years their senior, with the first one out of the house and married before Baskar turned one. Before they turned six, their eldest sister Abhati immigrated to the United States where she now has three children, and their other sister Naina immigrated to Singapore and has one child.

Their mother was a beautiful woman, even nearing her forties she did not loose the look that made her so wanted: petite, flowing hair, and a dazzling smile, many wondered why she stayed with her husband, who had been balding and turning grey by thirty-five.

[ murder tw ] When Baskar was six, they watched their father kill their mother in the backyard with a shovel before running off into the night. According to the police his body was later found near the beach. 

The exact motives wouldn’t be revealed until a few years later when a DNA test showed Baskar was not biologically related to their father after a letter was found containing details of Laji’s affair.

Before that however, the family got into a legal battle for custody of the youngest child. For three years he lived in a home until his grandparents, his father’s parents, won. 

ADOLESCENT

His grandparents stayed with him in Indonesia until he was fourteen. Then they moved to the UK.

The reason behind the move was that Baskar had begun to display odd behaviour speaking of a man who looked like his father bringing him to school and picking him up, or watching him at football practice. He insisted that the man was really there but his grandparents and others were never able to spot him.

In the UK the behaviour didn’t change, he still insisted his father was following him. 

The day after his sixteenth birthday his father asked him to come away with him. To which Baskar said no. He hadn’t minded his father's company when he’d been a boy, but as he grew older he’d begun to fear this man.

His father kept asking, and later turned to measures to create distance between Baskar and the people around him. He’d harass classmates, break things and blame Baskar for it, and deliberately steal things he’d borrowed from others. It still did not make Baskar agree to his offer.

[ murder tw ] Half a year later, his father murdered his classmate and his crush in the woods behind the grandparent’s house. Baskar found them when it was already too late, and remained with the body until the cops showed up.

Despite there being no evidence that Baskar had done it, he was still arrested and put on trial. Just after his eighteenth birthday the judge delivered the verdict that he was innocent. 

The damage had already been done. And his grandparents offered him no respite. Baskar left. 

ADULTHOOD 

Baskar moved around the UK for the decade to come, settling in new places, starting new careers, learning new skills, even attempting to study twice. But his father always found him. And if not his father, then someone in his circle would dig up the articles about the murder and he wouldn’t know anymore if they believed him or if they thought he was truly capable of that. So he’d cut ties and move again. 

He learned how to cope, how to make connections fast, and not to feel too sad when he had to end them. Yet he still lived in fear, fear that his father would appear and ask him: “Do you want to come away with me?” 

HEADCANONS:

Their favourite movie is Inside Out. They haven’t seen Inside Out 2 yet. They are pretty sad they probably won’t ever see it. (Will be very grateful to anyone who has seen it and can tell them the plot).

They will tell people to call them Baski like their friends do. None of their friends ever called them that before they suggested it but most of them would comply.

Always has an escape plan. Even on the island when they believe they don't need one.

When they first get their power they ‘hear voices’ and currently they think aside from being able to hear everything, they can hear ghosts. 

They’re a very bad liar. They don't like to lie at all.

They were born in Indonesia, but they haven't been back since they were fourteen. They tried really hard to retain their accent but after four years in a town near Bristol they lost it. 

Studied (or tried to at least) electrical engineering and later robotics but dropped out because of their father’s haunting.

They are a decent singer and love karaoke.

They moved around a lot since they turned 18, never staying in a place for longer than 2 years (mostly in the UK). They’ve developed interesting methods to try and fit in quickly because of it.

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

As people in America are watching the Superbowl this weekend, there may be articles pointing out the racist history of the Kansas football team's name. Before you dismiss this as harmless, please remember that Native American and Alaska Native communities are currently in a legal fight to prevent the overturn of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).

This act was created to stop cultural genocide. Until the late 1900s, Native American and Alaska Native children were routinely kidnapped and placed in residential schools and white families, where they faced abuse, forced assimilation, and sometimes murder. ICWA was passed in 1978 to stop this by allowing tribes to control the foster and adoption placement of Native American and Alaska Native children.

If overturned and the government is allowed to resume taking kids from Native families, it will be violating tribal sovereignty and be nothing less than cultural genocide.

Now, no, the football team's name is not nearly on the level of this. But when people say, "Oh, I don't care about this issue. I just want to watch football." They are ignoring how it plays in to the bigger context. They are dismissing the calls from Native American and Alaska Natives to get rid of the name, placing their nostalgia about a team name over the wishes of the people they are appropriating it from. They are normalizing the disregard of Native voices, culture, etc. They are promoting the idea that White people have supremacy over the use of other cultures as they see fit.

And you'll find this attitude in the opponents if ICWA. They'll say it doesn't matter what Indigenous people want, that what matters is that children are raised in a good home...thereby implying that a) Indigenous people are less caring of their children than white people, and b) it doesn't matter what sovereign nations want; the U.S. should be able to ignore them and take their children.

thinking about the sociology of football and wondering why the Spanish team is so white, compared to other European teams

if you suppose that a fair amount of players grew up poor and with an immigration background

you expect to see guys whose roots are specific to the country’s history (former colonies and post-WW2 economic migrants)

so for instance, in the Belgian team, you see black guys with Congolese ancestry (Lukaku, Kompany) and used to see white guys with Italian names (Belgium ~imported Italians to work in the country’s coal mines)

in the English team: Commonwealth guys; in the French team: West African guys; in the Dutch team: Surinamese and Caribbean guys; etc 

I don’t even have to look up Luxembourg’s team to know there’ll be Portuguese names in there

and of course Turkish names in the German team (maybe Syrian names someday?)

so what is the whiteness of the Spanish team a reflection of?

did it attract fewer migrants because it was poorer than other European countries?

does this same idea apply to other white teams like Poland and Croatia?

but then again Denmark was rich but its team is white too?

or did Spain attract people from South America whose kids don’t stick out in the national team because they’re white with Spanish-sounding names?

I’ve also got questions as to why the women’s teams at the Euro were all super white except for France?

I obviously don’t have a problem with teams being white or not, I’m just genuinely curious as to how it all happens

like the fact that you don’t see guys with Indian/Pakistani ancestry playing for England, it’s interesting sociologically
