The Williams Sisters Dominate And Redefine Tennis, Richard C. Crepeau
The Williams Sisters Dominate And Redefine Tennis, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Last weekend at Wimbledon the traditional fortnight at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club ended with a victory by Serena Williams in yet another all Williams Ladies Final. This was the third Williams sister meeting in a Grand Slam final, and the second win in a row for Serena who defeated her older sister just a few weeks earlier in the French Open final. Venus won the first of Grand Slam sister events at the U.S. Open in 2001.
The Cursed All-Star Game In Milwaukee: Bud Lite Makes The Bad Worse, Richard C. Crepeau
The Cursed All-Star Game In Milwaukee: Bud Lite Makes The Bad Worse, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
From the beginning the omens were bad. At the home run hitting contest Sammy Sosa ran out of gas in round three and could only get one out of the park. Then it started raining and for a brief moment ESPN showed that beautiful waterfall coming off the roof. Was this part of the construction flaw at the brand new Miller Park, Bud Selig's monument to himself extorted from the people of Wisconsin?
Death Of Ted Williams: A Tribute, Richard C. Crepeau
Death Of Ted Williams: A Tribute, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Ted Williams is dead at 83. A simple sentence that most American sports fans have seen or heard in the past twelve hours. What follows for each person will vary by age and background. For me it is one of those moments when you are aware that something that has been a constant throughout your life is no more.

Deaths In Baseball: Jack Buck And Darryl Kile, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The loss displayed on the faces of his teammates was palpable. At the extraordinary gathering in St. Louis Wednesday afternoon Darryl Kile's teammates, past and present, together with family, friends and fans paid tribute to the pitcher who died last Saturday of heart failure at the age of 33.

Title Ix Turns 30, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of the passage of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 whose section, Title IX, transformed sport in America. After thirty years the achievements of Title IX are impressive, while the controversy over it has been growing steadily especially over the last few years.

Phil Jackson And Scotty Bowman In The Coaching Elite, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This past week both Phil Jackson and Scotty Bowman won a record ninth championship in their given sports. These two coaches now join the elite in the coaching fraternity and just in their own sports. Bowman and Jackson have become two of the great coaches in the history of professional sport in North America. When the names of the great coaches like Lombardi, Auerbach, McCarthy and Blake are cited, the names of Scotty Bowman and Phil Jackson must now be listed with them.

Cheerleading Cheating - Jesus And Baseball In Georgia - The U.S.Open Golf- Coin Flip At Fifa, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past several weeks a number of small stories have been floating in my head. The most instructive involved cheerleading which some people are now claiming is a sport. If sport is defined as anything done in competition, something that colleges give scholarships for, and something that leads to cheating, then cheerleading qualifies.
Steroids In Baseball: Say It Might Not Be So If You Can, Richard C. Crepeau
Steroids In Baseball: Say It Might Not Be So If You Can, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I am shocked! There may be crying in baseball, but certainly not steroids. Say it isn’t so Bud, Mark, Sammy, Barry, Ken, Jose and all the rest!

Baseball Labor Negotiations: A Strike Or Lockout On The Horizon?, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Here it is not even Memorial Day the traditional first marker in the baseball pennant races and the talk of a baseball strike is already in the air. What a lovely thought as spring moves on towards summer. Last week the news came that Donald Fehr and other Player's Association executives have been telling players to prepare themselves for a possible strike.
Sexual Abuse Of Players In Junior Hockey, Richard C. Crepeau
Sexual Abuse Of Players In Junior Hockey, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
On Tuesday I was listening to the "Jim Rome Show" while driving into the campus and I heard a painful and astounding interview with Sheldon Kennedy. As some of you will remember Kennedy was the NHL player for the Boston Bruins who revealed in late 1996 that as a young boy and then young man he was subject to repeated sexual abuse by his hockey coach Graham James.

Formula One: Is Winning Always The Goal For All Competitors, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Which is more important, the team or the individual? A rather simple question which seemingly should have a simple and easy answer. Of course not all team sports are purely team sports. Some team sports are as much or more individual sports than team sports. The mix varies. Some team sports are only marginally so. This can confuse the issue.

Is it just me or does headhunting in the National Hockey League look to be on the rise in this new playoff season?

The Bad And Ugly: Cell Phones Invade The Arena, Canadian Athem Booed, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It has been one of those weeks when the good, the bad, and the ugly have appeared on my television screen - In sports, not in the news. In two cases, the bad and the ugly, fans are at center stage.

Caught In Eurosport World - What I Saw And What I Missed, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I have been away for the last two weeks, off into the land of EuroSport where real men play real sports in which feet figure heavily. As a result I have missed much of the action of the first two weeks of the baseball season, except for an occasional glimpse at a Mets or Yankee highlight, which seem to be the only baseball fragments shown on CNN World News.

The U Conn Women And The State Of Women's Sport, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In the Final Four that concluded yesterday in San Antonio basketball with a retro look graced the hardwood court (or was it some synthetic composite) for the first time in years. Those who have watched the University of Connecticut glide with precision to their undefeated season and NCAA Championship have been treated to a brand of basketball emphasizing team play, sharp cuts and passes, and a group of women who play with great intensity and joy.

The Beauty And Corrupting Power Of March Madness, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
March Madness has the power to mesmerize a nation. It has done so to me. The games of the past two weekends offered precisely the sort of thing that makes college basketball so compelling and entertaining.

It should be noted that the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, Kathleen A. Blatz, signed the ruling in which the court refused to review a lower court decision preventing the contraction of the Minnesota Twins in Bud Selig's master plan for major league baseball.

Olympic Impressions: Drugs, Judging, High Quality Hockey, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Looking back on the two plus weeks of the Winter Olympics a number of things stand out. As I have noted here this was an extraordinary experience for me as I had never been to any Olympics before. Beyond that I would like to look at three areas that seem of some significance to me.
The Mormons, The Olympics, The Fans, And The Venues, Richard C. Crepeau
The Mormons, The Olympics, The Fans, And The Venues, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The opportunity to attend the Winter Olympics was something I never really thought I would have, but due to a number of coincidental circumstances and the generosity of friends I was able to attend the first ten days of the games.
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
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
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
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
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 …

Mabopa : Sejarah Dan Perkembangan Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia, Suhaillah Abdullah
Student Works (2000-2009)
Laporan Penyelidikan ini dijalankan untuk mengetahui sejarah dan perkembangan Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia (MABOPA) sepanjang 31 tahun penubuhannya (1969-2001). Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia merupakan antara persatuan yang bergiat aktif dalam mempertingkatkan industri perbukuan negara. Walaupun begitu, terlalu kurang sumber bertulis yang menceritakan tentang kegiatan dan peranan Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia dalam arena penerbitan negara. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan sebagai 'sambungan' kepada kajian perintis yang pemah dilakukan oleh saudari Rabiatuladawiah Arshad pada tahun 1991. Dalam tempoh hampir 10 tahun, kajian susulan yang di buat menunjukkan Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia telah mengalami pelbagai perubahan. Realitinya Persatuan Penerbit Buku Malaysia semakin matang …
