Sciullo ............................................................................ 201 After the Seattle Seahawks won the NFC Championship game, the postgame interview of Richard Sherman, a defensive back for the Seahawks, became subject to racialized discourse in the media. This article draws upon important concepts of black danger, blackness and the media, and racial animus to explain how media pundits and online commentaries about the interview have created a modem-day version of the bogeyman. In so doing, the article theorizes a new logic to racial animus-the myth of the bogeyman-to expound on the confluence of race, law, and sports. This new approach will help to explain covert racism in the professional sports industry and in the media at large, and the complex politics of racial acceptance on the backdrop of sports media's whiteness. RIGHT-SIZING BROADBAND SPECTRUM AUCTION LICENSES: THE CASE FOR SMALLER GEOGRAPHIC LICENSE AREAS IN THE TV BROADCAST INCENTIVE AUCTION by William Lehr and J. Armand Musey ...................................... 231 This article examines the potential impact of smaller-sized license territories in the context of the FCC's upcoming 2016 Broadcast Incentive Auction-the largest, most complex auction to date. The purpose of the auction is to free up to 120 MHz of prime spectrum in the 600 MHz band, currently licensed to over-the-air television broadcasting, to repurpose for licensing mobile broadband and other higher value wireless services. This article argues that using smaller territories is more consistent with the longterm direction of efficient spectrum management reform and future wireless market. The article also explains how adopting small geographic territories is necessary to promote competition and other important economic and social goals, while acknowledging that right-sizing the license territories may not, by itself, be sufficient to ensure adequate competition and participation by smaller carriers and entrants. The analysis and findings in this article are generally applicable to other spectrum auctions in the United States and abroad.
