Baseball's All-Star Game, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up on Tuesday at Coors Field in Denver, one of the newest, and by all accounts one of the liveliest stadiums in all of baseball. In this year of the home run this All-Star Game in the thin air of Denver could turn into a tribute to the long ball.

Academics, Advocacy, And Activism, Jill Dolan

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

One of the ways in which CLAGS distinguishes itself from other academically based research centers is through our firm commitment to bridging the academic and activist spheres within the larger lesbian and gay social and political communities. This Spring, we sponsored a roundtable discussion addressing arts censorship that included twenty-five academics and activists concerned about the ways in which the decrease in public arts funding on national and local levels around the country is meant to further disenfranchise lesbians, gay men, and people of color (whether or not they're lesbian or gay).

Meta-Ethnographic Development Of A Dialogue Methodology Applied To Organization Discourse, Shelley P. Gallup

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

A gap exists between theoretical stances that acknowledge the importance of dialogue as a dynamic within socially constructed structures, and "steersmanship" of those constructs--e.g., directing, intervening or transforming organizations. A "mechanism" which links theory with practice is missing, leaving practitioners with an acknowledgment of dialogue's central position, but without tools to enact this centrality in practice or research. This research constructs a conceptual model of dialogue, derived from the literature. Using this model as a base, the research seeks to generate a dialogue methodology bridging theory and practice with respect to organizational dialogue. The model, methodology, and research results are …

Scotty Bowman And The Detroit Redwings, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Most of the focus on sport in the United States over the last week has been on the achievements of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls as they won their sixth NBA championship in eight years, their third consecutively. The discussion of this dynasty has been extensive, comparing it to the great Laker and Celtic teams of the past. Michael has emerged as an even larger figure both off and on the court with Fortune Magazine dubbing him the ten billion dollar man.

Father's Day, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This week for Father's Day 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.

Rodman Rules, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After watching Michael and the Bulls win a sixth NBA championship you can only come away with a sense of awe at what this team has done. In the process however one Bull doesn't get his due as a basketball player, although one hears and sees more than enough about him for his off-court activity.

World Cup But Not A Big Deal In The U.S., Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The frenzy has begun over the biggest sporting event in the world. It started this week in France and will continue over the next several weeks until its conclusion on July 12. This is the greatest tournament in the history of sport, the quest for the World Cup, the Coupe du Monde.

Nba Draft, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The NBA draft has come and gone, once again leaving in its wake any number of questions about the future of the NBA and about those whom entered the draft process. But those questions can wait. This night of less than scintillating television looked very much like a glorified meat market presenting itself as a magical dream machine.

Turner Broadcasting, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I don't know about you, but most everyone seems to be underwhelmed by the announcement from Turner Broadcasting and NBC last week that they were preparing to launch a new professional football league. Reactions have run the gamut from charges of stupidity to diagnoses of insanity.

Karolj Seles, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I never have cared much for her as a player. The awkward looking two-handed shot was too easily contrasted to the grace of Chris Evert's two-handed backhand. And Chris didn't emit that godawful grunt. It alone is enough to drive you from center-court at Wimbledon on a beautiful clear summer day.

Wayne Huizinga And The Dismantling Of The Florida Marlins, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If the Florida Marlins never win another game, they will already have won too many. This weekend came the latest episode in the baseball version of a "scorched earth policy" usually done as an army retreats in defeat and humiliation. The man orchestrating this operation, Marlin owner and pyramid king of South Florida, H. Wayne Huizenga, has produced another Blockbuster Deal worthy of a man who began his career in trash and is now selling used cars. The only difference here is that Wayne is scorching the earth in victory, and then producing the defeat and humiliation.

This past Thursday U.S. District Judge Anne Conway sentenced former University of Central Florida football coach, Gene McDowell, for his string of lies to federal agents, prosecutors, and a grand jury about the cell phone scandal within the UCF football team.

The Ncaa And Jobs For Athletes, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Is it possible to do something both nostalgic and progressive at the same time? Would it be a shock if the doer of the deed turned out to be the NCAA?

Baseball Strike Again On The Horizon - Salary Arbitration Still The Key, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Barring an eleventh hour settlement, today will mark the beginning of the fifth strike and eighth work stoppage in major league baseball over the past quarter century. At stake in this struggle is whether or not after twenty years the owners will be able to reverse the power flow into the hands of the players. The rise of the Major League Baseball Players Association under the skillful leadership of Marvin Miller, coupled with some astoundingly inept moves by ownership precipitated a power shift in baseball from management to labor.
