John Dee Bright was an American professional football player in the Canadian Football League (CFL). A troubling racist incident he endured as a college football player in the U.S. caused rule changes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. After his emigration to Canada, he played a starring role as an Edmonton Eskimo and also became a school principal and an important role model for black Canadians and aspiring athletes in Edmonton. Bright played college football for the Drake Bulldogs
