gold star for USAHOF

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Joe Bob Priddy

Joe Bob Priddy
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: North Dallas Forty (1979)
  • Actor/Actress: Bo Svenson
  • Position Portrayed: Offensive Lineman
  • Played For:: North Dallas Bulls
  • Why you should vote:: He was a memorable character in a sports film. That is what this Hall is about.
  • Why you should not vote:: Should a racist character be rewarded here?
  • It is a little hard to watch the racist “good ole boy” Joe Bob Priddy in North Dallas Forty without cringing at his backwards thoughts and misogynist actions; yet he is a form of guilty entertainment, and every time he was on the screen we couldn’t wait to see what he would do next. That makes him a worthwhile candidate for the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame.
