Expansion In Professional Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The big news in Florida sports last week was expansion. The Florida Marlins sent two farm teams onto the field for the first time, and the dreams of future glory were put into motion. Also the Tampa Bay Lightning began stocking its roster, first with the castoffs of other teams, and then in the entry draft. The big news this week in Orlando was the drafting of Shaquille O'Neal, finally.

The Beauty Of The Athleticism In The Nba And The Nhl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Two or three decades ago there was a joke that circulated about a kindergarten teacher who asked the children if they knew the four seasons of the year. An eager young boy waved his hand, and shouted the answer: Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey. That cute little joke has lost all of its meaning in this, the last decade of the 20th century.

Nba And Nhl:Success And Failure, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

While watching NBA and NHL playoffs over the past few months I have been struck by the remarkable difference between what has happened to these two professional sports leagues in the last ten to fifteen years. Under the leadership of David Stern the NBA has prospered with Bird and Magic, expanding its presence to what is now approaching world-wide dimensions; while the NHL first with Gretzky and now Lemieux languished with John Zeigler at the helm.

Father's Day Tribute To My Father, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This week I want to talk about the man who taught me a love of sport, and especially a love of baseball, and who taught me much about life.

Indy 500 - Lyle Alzado And Ed Gantner- Fsu And Uf Bowl Money, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the past few weeks a number of small items have caught my eye. They are not large enough issues and topics to occupy the entire commentary, so I have been saving them for a chance to dump them all together.

The America's Cup, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I have a confession to make. I enjoy the America's Cup. I watch it on television. It is neither exciting nor rollicking fun, but I find it interesting, and at times filled with tension. Apparently unlike most sports fans I am not bored by it.

Title Ix, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Twenty years ago Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act made sexual discrimination illegal for any high school district or institution of higher education that received federal aid. This meant that it applied to almost every school in the nation. It also meant that in the area of sport, discrimination against women was illegal. This legislation was opposed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the NCAA. At the time of Title IX's passage college athletics for women were under the auspices of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, the AIAW.

Isaac Murphy: A 19th Century African-American Jockey, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The name Isaac Murphy is not exactly a household word in American Sport, and I suspect even among those who follow horse racing the name is not likely to evoke recognition. But on this day before the Kentucky Derby it might be worth recalling the career of Isaac Murphy.

The Babe: Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If you like scatological humor, overdone caricature, stupidity masking as innocence, then you might well enjoy The Babe, the over hyped, over promoted new film from Universal Pictures starring John Goodman as the Bambino. If you go to this film in search of the definitive life of George Herman Ruth, as is promised by Director Arthur Hiller and writer-producer John Fusco, you will be greatly disappointed.

Hockey Strike Ends - Arthur Ashe Hiv - Magic Ticket Price Increase, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The last words of last week's commentary were, "This could be a long a one." It wasn't. The Hockey Strike is over, and it was a short one, ten days. Did the Sure-Footed Northern Rink Rat succumb to the call of the Stanley Cup? Or did the owners cave in under the economic pressures of the moment? Who blinked first, the players or the owners?

The National Hockey League Strike, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

For just over a week now something has been happening in sports that has never happened before. In the seventy-five year history of the National Hockey League there has never been a strike. Many thought there never would be.
