The Olympics On Tv And Live And In Person, Richard C. Crepeau
The Olympics On Tv And Live And In Person, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The Olympic experience in person is considerably, perhaps even radically, different from the Olympic experience on television, especially American television. NBC's "virtually live" Olympics, which we were told was necessary during the games from Sydney because of the great time difference, continues at the Winter Games for some complex of other bogus reasons offered up by NBC.
Ski Jumping At The Olympics, Richard C. Crepeau
Ski Jumping At The Olympics, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The first thing that you need to know coming from Florida is that it is called the Winter Olympics because it takes place in the winter. Therefore it is cold. At times it is bitterly cold, but most of the time it is just cold. As this was my first Olympics and the Winter Games are my favorite none of this mattered as we headed off for Olympic Park and the 90m ski jumping competition on Sunday.
Patriotism And The Super Bowl - Drugs And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau
Patriotism And The Super Bowl - Drugs And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Watching the Super Bowl on Sunday one could not avoid being moved by some aspect or another of the patriotism on display. 9/11 remains strong in the memory of us all and as I noted last September sport does provide us with opportunities for collective mourning, remembrance, and expressions of patriotism. I also noted that it is a characteristic of Americans to move toward excess in almost everything we do in public ritual.
Excess And The Internet At The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
Excess And The Internet At The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Is there anyone alive in the United States today who does not know that the Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday? It is Super Bowl XXXVI, thirty-six in real numbers, and will be played in what should be the permanent home of the Super Bowl, New Orleans. There is no venue more appropriate, save perhaps Vegas, for this mid-winter festival of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous waste, not be mention decadence, in these high holy days of the American Empire.
Capriati's Comeback Capped At The Australian Open - Ty Tryon's Meltdown, Richard C. Crepeau
Capriati's Comeback Capped At The Australian Open - Ty Tryon's Meltdown, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It was just a year ago that Jennifer Capriati completed her remarkable and inspiring comeback with a victory in the Australian Open. She went on to win the French Open last year, her second grand slam victory, in what was certainly her best year of tennis since the early days before she hit the wall and her career disintegrated.
The Unwritten Rules Of Nba Officiating: When Will Mark Cuban Learn, Richard C. Crepeau
The Unwritten Rules Of Nba Officiating: When Will Mark Cuban Learn, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban goes off to manage a Dairy Queen today it is a reminder not only of his insult of NBA referees but of three basic facts of American life. First, it takes no particular intelligence to become a billionaire. Second, some people have way too much money. And third, it is an absolutely futile exercise to criticize the referees in the National Basketball Association.
Beaten To Death On Ice: Out Of Control Parents And Youth Sports, Richard C. Crepeau
Beaten To Death On Ice: Out Of Control Parents And Youth Sports, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
On Friday forty-four year old Thomas Junta was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Costin on July 5, 2000 in the Boston suburb of Reading. This piece of news is nothing extraordinary as similar items can be found in most daily newspapers across the country once or twice a year. What made this case of extraordinary interest across America, put it on Court TV, and attracted extensive coverage on the 24/7 news channels was the particular setting and circumstances of the case.
David Zang's Sportswars: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau
David Zang's Sportswars: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Every now and then I read a book that for some reason strikes a particular chord with me. This doesn't make it a great book, but for me it is an important book because it evokes significant emotional or intellectual responses. When that happens I generally tell everyone I know that they need to read this new book.

On Sport and Society
If the first few days of the New Year there are many indications 2002 could turn out to be much more than simply a palindromic delight. The seismic rumblings out of Gainesville, Florida yesterday overshadowed the Category Five Hurricane that swept from California to Nebraska on Thursday. The totally unexpected resignation by Steve Spurrier as Gator football coach would easily have overshadowed such an action by the governor of the state, and perhaps even that of the governor's brother. It has been front-page news across Florida for two days now, and local television news has been overrun by this story …
