The objective of this research is to compare the discourse established by Mário Filho in the second edition of “O Negro no Futebol Brasileiro”, from 1964, and the news reported by newspapers of the time, related to the blame attributed to black players for the defeat of 1950. Were they really considered guilty by Brazilian press or is this just a tradition invented by Mário Filho surrounding soccer? In order to solve the issue, we used the precepts of discourse analysis, from the perspective of Eni Orlandi and two widely circulated national journals were selected: the newspaper “O Estado de Sao Paulo” and “O Cruzeiro”. Based on the materials investigated, we could see that he does not settle any kind of racial prejudice, because, the other black players on the team worked satisfactorily, according to the journals. Thus, it is possible to say that the discourse of Mario Filho, when addressing the so-called "rise of racism," from the narrative of the defeat of 1950, appears as an invented tradition.
