It was the first major sports magazine aimed specifically at African Americans.[4] The magazine was the brainchild of Allan P. Barron, who became president and editor. Barron teamed up with William L. Doneghy, who was vice-president and controller.[3][5] In 1971, Bryant Gumbel became editor, leaving the following year.[6]
The magazine had low circulation and limited success and was forced to close after the final issue was published in June 1978.[1]
