"The Return of the Jewish Athlete"

In a Huffington Post article, Professor David Fontana writes about "The Return of the Jewish Athlete." Historical Jewish athletes, including basketball player Ossie Schectman, baseball player Hank Greenberg, and football player Sid Luckman all played a meaningful role in major American professional sports. After largely disappearing in the 1950s, Jewish athletes began to rise to prominence again in the early 2000s, which Professor Fontana speculates is due to changing demographics of Jewish communities.
