The Year, Richard C. Crepeau
The Year, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As years go 2014 was an interesting one in sportsworld. Some might characterize it as depressing while others may look back on it as exhilarating. Whatever the case may be we know that at some point in the future we will look back on the year 2014 with nostalgia and/or perhaps a year of pivotal change. Maybe even historic, whatever that means.
Bowling, Richard C. Crepeau
Bowling, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Every few years I like to take inventory of the Bowl Games. Each football season concludes with these loss leaders for intercollegiate football teams. Almost without exception teams who have been honored with an invitation to a bowl game will lose money with the cost of bowling exceeding the payouts for bowlers. The theory is that the exposure is worth more than real budgetary dollars.
Fearsome Foursome, Richard C. Crepeau
Fearsome Foursome, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The much anticipated day of revelation has arrived. No, not the second coming of Bear Bryant, but rather the announcement from the Committee of Justice that yesterday revealed the top four teams in college football. In case you were being held in solitary confinement and missed it, let me reveal to you, in order of quality, the four chosen ones: Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, and Ohio State, sorry, The Ohio State University.
South Africa’S History Of Struggle And Liberation, Myra Ann Houser
South Africa’S History Of Struggle And Liberation, Myra Ann Houser
Articles
Clive Glaser’s The ANC Youth League, Colin Bundy’s Govan Mbeki, and Saul Dubow’s South Africa’s Struggle for Human Rights together contribute to Ohio University Press’ new series, Ohio Short Histories of Africa. The three works fit within the larger set of eight brief monographs, written by eminent scholars in a simple and publicly digestible format. The series provides an entry point for new scholars and the general public to familiarize themselves with contemporary histories in a format that is short and easy to read. At the same time, all three works have many challenges to offer more established …
Rice Decision, Richard C. Crepeau
Rice Decision, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
How surprising was it when the arbitrator in the Ray Rice case ruled that Roger Goodell had acted “arbitrary in his discretion,” and had punished Rice twice for the same offense? In addition when Goodell claimed that Ray Rice misled him about the severity of the incident, the arbitrator found otherwise. Goodell was fully apprised by Rice as to the severity of the incident.
Thanksgiving, Richard C. Crepeau
Thanksgiving, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As with all American traditions, if it happened once or twice it is one. Therefore I present my traditional Thanksgiving piece.
Football And Police, Richard C. Crepeau
Football And Police, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past few weeks college sport has once again taken over the lead in ink and air time; not actually games, of course, but stories that illustrate the corruption of higher education in America by the presence of intercollegiate athletics on campus, or more precisely football on campus.
On The Origin And Future Of Poetry: Notes Towards An Investigation, Carlos Aguasaco
On The Origin And Future Of Poetry: Notes Towards An Investigation, Carlos Aguasaco
Publications and Research
An exploration on the historical and material conditions that allowed the emergence of metaphors and poetry alongside language. This article analyzes the historical relation between poetry and technology across history. It discusses the so-called ontological crisis of poetry and opens the conversation on its future.
Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau
Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There are many terrific and zany baseball quotations that make there way across the nation at this time of year. Between Dizzy Dean, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto almost all aspects of the game were covered. Broadcasters too have added to the diamond lexicon. My favorite, however, comes from the former pitcher for the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals, the incomparable Joaquin Andujar whose most memorable line covers nearly all of the possibilities of the game.
Goodell's Press Conference, Richard C. Crepeau
Goodell's Press Conference, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
After last week’s debacles in the NFL and Goodell’s retreat into a cave somewhere, I read a number of references to Goodell as a Nixonian figure. These were amusing and vaguely resonant. Then came Friday’s Follies as Goodell surfaced publicly and assured us that he would not resign, that he would get it right, and that the NFL remained a moral leader that America could count on.
The Mechanisms Of The Optional Protocol To The Genocide Convention And Its Links To R2p, Jean-François Bussière-Wallot
The Mechanisms Of The Optional Protocol To The Genocide Convention And Its Links To R2p, Jean-François Bussière-Wallot
Jan Karski Conference
The Optional Protocol to the Genocide Convention was drafted taking into account the UN Charter and practice to fit neatly into the UN and regional system. This is done by respecting the various roles and powers assigned to the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Regional Organizations under the UN Charter. The specific roles of each under the Protocol will be discussed, as well as the specific mechanisms for Regional Organizations under Article 5. The decision-making on genocide and its preparatory steps under Article 3, working in conjunction with Article 4, creates an obligation to act on normally non-binding …
Goodell's Quagmire, Richard C. Crepeau
Goodell's Quagmire, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The continuing saga of the NFL and Ray Rice has now become basically the Roger Goodell story. The Commissioner has not managed to stay ahead of the news cycle and has failed to cut his losses. Rather than to accept responsibility for his mistakes and missteps he has continued to deal in what now seems to be his only task as Commissioner, to Protect the Shield. And it’s not going well.
Women In Sportsworld, Richard C. Crepeau
Women In Sportsworld, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Roger Goodell is the Commissioner of the most popular professional sports league in the United States. This week he demonstrated just how much he learned at the feet of his predecessors, Paul Tagliabue and especially Pete Rozelle.
Little League, Richard C. Crepeau
Little League, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The Little League World Series is often the occasion for comment but usually it involves subjects such as rabid parents or hyperventilating coaches. This time the comments coming out of Williamsport, where fracking rather than baseball usually dominates the landscape, had a feel good aspect to them.
O'Bannon And The Five Giants, Richard C. Crepeau
O'Bannon And The Five Giants, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
At this point in August there are those who think that football season is already in full swing. They are probably deceived into thinking this by the increase in the number of assault arrests being made of both the professionals and the collegians. There seems to be little difference between the two, and indeed the myth of that difference was rejected this week by a federal judge in the O’Bannon Case. As if in anticipation of the decision, the NCAA itself negated its claim of amateurism once again by approving a change in its rules that will allow the five …
Re-Entry And Disorientation, Richard C. Crepeau
Re-Entry And Disorientation, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I have been out of the country for less than three weeks and it is mid-summer when not much happens of note. The first thing I confronted on returning was a total reorganization of the local supermarket. Under the influence of jet lag I found this quite disorienting. As it turned out, this was only one of many changes that faced me.
World Cup, Richard C. Crepeau
World Cup, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I am not a fan of The Beautiful Game, although I do watch and appreciate its beauty especially when it is displayed by the likes of Lionel Messi. Soccer, as with all games, when played with skill and competence is a beautiful game. The same might be said of hockey, baseball, basketball, or curling. When any skill is combined with artistry, whether in sport or some other human endeavor, it has a beauty worthy of admiration.

Product Of The Past: The Struggle Between The Lakota Sioux Nation And The United States Government, Brittany Lombardo
Product Of The Past: The Struggle Between The Lakota Sioux Nation And The United States Government, Brittany Lombardo
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
Many may be familiar with the national landmark that is Mount Rushmore, located in South Dakota. The heroes represent the leaders of the United States, the founding fathers. However, it shadows a rich history that is what came before the United States' invasion. The Lakota Sioux roamed freely throughout the Midwest, that is until the the US began to expand westward. The rich history of the Lakota lingers throughout their lives today, but is suppressed under a thick lair of oppression and mistreatment by the United States Government.
Huge Week, Richard C. Crepeau
Huge Week, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I’m just now getting into the World Cup as the recent sports calendar has been overloaded with prime events. With the battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup raging on, the NBA Finals testing the bounds of credulity, and the U.S. Open Golf Tournament on the menu, trying to fit the World Cup into my thoughts and my schedule was nearly too much to manage. Perhaps foolishly, I will try to do some justice to each of these penultimate sporting events here.
Triple Crown, Richard C. Crepeau
Triple Crown, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
By late Saturday sportsworld will know if there is a Triple Crown winner for the first time in thirty-six years. The last winner was Affirmed in 1978. No one could have guessed that it would be this long before another horse would accomplish this feat again. After all Affirmed was the third horse of the 1970s to win the Triple Crown. Seattle Slew won the Crown in 1977 and the great Secretariat did it in 1973.

There are times when marginally related events converge and raise questions about issues related to sport. Such a convergence occurred in my corner of sportsworld over the past week.
Realignment: Highways And Livability Policy In The Post-Interstate Era, 1978–2013, Michael R. Fein
Realignment: Highways And Livability Policy In The Post-Interstate Era, 1978–2013, Michael R. Fein
Humanities Department Faculty Publications & Research
While federal policy makers have pursued “livable” communities since the late 1970s, they have rarely agreed on precisely what “livability” entailed and how best to achieve it. When U.S. Secretary of the Department of Transportation Ray LaHood promised in 2009 to make livability the hallmark of an ambitious interagency partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Environmental Protection Agency—and, in the process, to undo long-standing patterns of auto-dependency—it appeared that LaHood was poised to shift American transportation policy in a bold new direction. And yet other policies, such as those that govern the alignment of highway …

Sterling, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There are times when something happens in the world of sport that is so startling that reactions come hard and fast and seem to overwhelm events. The Donald Sterling soliloquy hit with this sort of force, and the reaction was beyond what could be anticipated but was still more than appropriate. It was required.
A Special Week, Richard C. Crepeau
A Special Week, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It was one of those very special weeks in SportsWorld. At least three things stood out: two in baseball and one in the bizarre world of the NCAA.
Masters Golf Tournament, Richard C. Crepeau
Masters Golf Tournament, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
On Sunday, as I usually do on Master’s weekend, I turned to CBS to get an overdose of saccharine. Jim Nantz was in fine form developing storylines, both real and contrived, to keep the focus on the players and the natural beauty of Augusta National. The camera guys had all the obligatory shots of the dogwoods and redbud trees, the flaming and cooling azaleas, and to complete the scene, an occasional magnolia. Words like “idyllic” were used with abandon and those close ups of tense competitors nearly made golf look like an action sport.
Submarines For Aviators, Randy Hoffman
Submarines For Aviators, Randy Hoffman

Nw Case, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
For the first time an official body uttered words that did damage to the term “student athlete.” About a week ago a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board defined a football player as an employee of a university. Football players, it concluded, are not primarily students.
Ncaa Madness, Richard C. Crepeau
Ncaa Madness, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Sitting in the middle of March Madness it is easy to forget that this annual orgy of basketball and money is a relatively new phenomenon. It was the transformation of television with the arrival of cable and all-sports networks that turned the NCAA basketball championship into a national obsession. Whereas in 1960 it was impossible to see the NCAA finals on television outside the major markets, it is now possible to see every game in the six weeks of games involving 68 teams in every market. And if you can’t see it on television you can see it on any …
