Title Ix, Richard C. Crepeau
Title Ix, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
How many more times will the courts need to rule before university athletic administrators and presidents finally understand that Title IX really does mean that men's and women's sport must be dealt with on an equal basis? This, in effect, is what has been said for the fifth time by the courts, when The Supreme Court this week refused to hear the appeal by Brown University of a lower court ruling of last November.
Fantasy Baseball: A Distortion Of The Game, Richard C. Crepeau
Fantasy Baseball: A Distortion Of The Game, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I have a confession to make. I vowed I would never do it. It was just too twisted, too much of a perversion of a sacred American institution. But I did it, and I have been doing it for several years.
Tiger Woods, Richard C. Crepeau
Tiger Woods, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There is a character in Thomas Klise's 1974 novel, The Last Western, whose name is Willie. The young man was born in New Mexico, became a baseball pitcher with a supernatural pitch, and was of multi-racial origin. As he developed his athletic skills he quickly achieved perfection, which vaulted him into the public limelight and super stardom. Shortly the public tired of his perfection, being bored by it. He was cynically manipulated by greedy sports owners and ultimately the public turned on him.

Jackie Robinson, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
On Tuesday, April 15, President Clinton will go to New York and Shea Stadium for ceremonies commemorating the Fiftieth Anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color line in major league baseball. On that date in 1947 Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in their opening day game against the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.
Basketball Championship, Richard C. Crepeau
Basketball Championship, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Championship games should be close and intense with the players giving every ounce of their energy and coaches struggling to adjust and readjust as the game unfolds. The only flaws in this year's struggle between the Wildcats of Kentucky and Arizona were provided by CBS which continues to be unable to identify its best announcers and commentators, and whose broadcasting crew has grown like kudzu in August.
Final Four, Richard C. Crepeau
Final Four, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
If you are a lifer in Minnesota you are having the Final Four experience for the first time. As a Minnesotan-in-exile and an alumnus of Marquette University and Florida State University I have had the Final Four experience on other occasions. As a Gopher alumnus, however, it is a new and exciting experience.
Calgary, Dean Smith, Richard C. Crepeau
Calgary, Dean Smith, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It was about as varied a week in sport for me as I can remember. I have been off to western Canada where the big story was the Brier, or I guess I should say the Labatt's Brier, Canada's national curling championship, being contested in Calgary at the Saddl edome, or rather the Canadian Airlines Saddledome. Some things don't change even when you cross the 49th parallel. The television and newspapers were full of stories from the Brier, which drew almost a quarter of a million people to the Saddledome during the week, riveting the attention of a nation.
Iditarod: The Last Great Race On Earth, Richard C. Crepeau
Iditarod: The Last Great Race On Earth, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It's the first week in March and in sporting terms that means it is the time of the first sounds of spring. No not the crack of the bat hitting ball, but the sounds of dogs barking and men and women urging them on down the trail. These are the sounds of "The Last Great Race on Earth," the Iditarod.
Jerry Tarkanian And Bill Musselman, Richard C. Crepeau
Jerry Tarkanian And Bill Musselman, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The calendar says March. Time for March Madness. The Big Dance. The Road to the Final Four. The Road to Big Dollars from Big TV revenues. The Road to Commercialism and Compromise. The Road to Corruption.

Fishing, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It is mid-February, just past mid-winter in those regions to our north. It is the shortest month, while at the same time the longest month for those caught in winter. On the sports calendar it is the time between, when the Super Bowl is over and we await the NCAA Road to Wherever to be followed by the NBA and NHL playoffs. Nothing much is happening.

Baseball Commissioner, Richard C. Crepeau

Acting Baseball Commissioner for Life Bud Selig is currently making noises suggesting that it's time to choose a permanent Commissioner and that he doesn't want the job. I do, and I offer the following manifesto as my application for the position.
Dennis Rodman, Richard C. Crepeau
Dennis Rodman, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Once upon a time he was the scourge of the NBA. He skipped practices and road trips; head-butted two players and then a referee; threw a bag of ice at his coach in San Antonio; used profanity in a live post-game interview; and kicked a television cameraman in the groin at a game in the Target Center. All of this earned him 24 games in suspensions, a suspension from one playoff series, and one indefinite suspension, $67,000 in fines, and millions in lost wages.

If you are tired of hearing about the frozen tundra you had better change stations now, because I am going to talk about the team from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers.
Super Bowl Excesses, Richard C. Crepeau
Super Bowl Excesses, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There is always one little item that catches the eye; the one that both embodies and summarizes the excess. This year for me it is the Little Penny Commercial. Here in Fantasyland they have been touting the making of this little obscenity of American excess for the past several weeks. Celebrities have been rolling in and out of town, in and out of their limos and private jets, to be seen in this year's breathlessly awaited Super Bowl commercial. The parties have been numerous, the celebrity watching prime, and the press coverage worthy of the outbreak of World War III.
Coaching And The Abuse Of Authority, Richard C. Crepeau
Coaching And The Abuse Of Authority, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The breakdown of authority is often cited as a primary cause of the disorders and maladies of society. The loss of respect for authority is seen as a major problem among the young. Many of the symbols of authority have lost their luster and seem no longer capable of evoking deference.

Super Bowl Xxxi, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
If the Carolina Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaguars meet in Super Bowl XXXI Pete Rozelle will come back to present the trophy. He will do so not only to symbolize the extraterrestrial character of the event, but also to symbolize how deeply Rozelle's legacy of parity has become ingrained into the fabric of the National Football League.

Some called him the Pope of the National Football League. Others saw him as a minor deity of the mid-twentieth century's religious devotion to sport. Whatever the perspective, it is clear that Alvin "Pete" Rozelle is among the most significant figures in the history of Sport in America and the world in the Twentieth Century.

Jerry Reinsdorf's Smoking Gun And Baseball Labor Settlement, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
They called him The Old Roman. In 1919 Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox so angered his players with low salaries and his cheapskate ways that they turned on him and fixed the World Series. In 1996 White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf so angered his fellow owners by his high salaries and wild spending that they turned on him, reversed their vote of the previous three weeks, and approved the new baseball collective bargaining agreement. Maybe they should call Reinsdorf, the New Roman, or Roman Nouveau.

The History of both Thanksgiving and Football go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would come together in modern America.

Nick Anderson Accused: Don't Rush To Judgement, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Last Wednesday Nick Anderson of the Magic called a press conference to deny that he had raped a woman last February. It was an emotional scene at which a tearful Anderson told the press that a complaint had been filed with Orlando police in early October, and that he had been threatened with public exposure by the Pan African InterNational Movement (PAIN) unless he paid them $600,000.

Holyfield And Tyson - When Magic Play At Arena, City Loses Money, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
A week after the Boston College story broke the gamblers took a bath, not on college football but on the godfather of sports gambling, boxing. Evander Holyfield's upset of the century over Mike Tyson was a disaster for those who set the odds and cover the bets. With odds running 25-1 to open and dropping to 5-1 just before the fight, bookmakers lost several million dollars. Major money was placed on Holyfield in the last few days, at least some of it coming from the Holyfield camp itself, and the smart money on the favorite never surfaced as betting closed.

Boston College: Fixing And Gambling In Sport, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
When word spread early this week that football players at Boston College were suspected of fixing games, a number of people feigned shock. Whatever turns out to be the ultimate finding of investigators at Boston College, no one should be shocked by this news.

The Braves / Yankees World Series, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
When Charlie Hayes went falling into the third-base dugout and failed to make the catch on Mark Lemke's pop foul to end the sixth and final game of the World Series there was a brief moment of hope when Braves fans thought just maybe fate had turned. It had not. On the next pitch Hayes made the catch down the third-base side near the stands and the 1996 World Series was history. Only five nights earlier Atlanta fans had been talking about the possibility of a sweep, but not the one that occurred.

I had never heard of a language called Papiamentu and I had only a vague notion that Curacao was an island off the north coast of Venezuela. I suspect that by now Atlanta Braves fans are learning more and more about the largest island in the Netherlands Antillies and its capital city, Willemstad.

While sitting around waiting for Gene Budig's resignation as American League president, or even for someone in the press to suggest that it might be appropriate, I have been trying to see as much of the American and National League Championship Series as possible--or the LCS as it is called, which sounds more like a religious cult than a sporting event. There has been some interesting baseball and even more interesting American melodrama.
Baseball's Musical Managerial Chairs: Minority Hiring Weak, Richard C. Crepeau
Baseball's Musical Managerial Chairs: Minority Hiring Weak, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past few weeks I have noticed a familiar phenomenon in baseball which is reflective of sport generally. The annual purge of the managerial ranks in baseball has begun after a relatively quiet regular season. The most spectacular of the regular season firings was that of Tommy LaSorda in Los Angeles although it was thinly disguised as a resignation for health reasons. Bill Russell was named interim manager and after some doubts were raised the former shortstop had the interim removed yesterday.
