Caught In Eurosport World - What I Saw And What I Missed, Richard C. Crepeau
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
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
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.

Spring Break, Spring Training, And March Madness In Many Forms, Richard C. Crepeau

It is March Madness in America. Consider the many signs.

Contraction, Baseball, The Courts, The Commissioner, And The Sale Of The Red Sox, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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
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
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
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
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.

Steve Spurrier Resigns, Dennis Green Fired, Ty Williamham Hired - More Bcs, Richard C. Crepeau
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 …

The Year Of Sport And Society In Review, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Normally I don't do a year in review piece although I think I did review the year in Sport and Society one time. I will do it because of the fact that one event so dominated American consciousness this past year that it will make this calendar year a very memorable and special one.
"Ali" The Film: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau
"Ali" The Film: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Across the world in this century there is no other sports figure better known and more admired than Muhammad Ali. In the United States there may be no sports figure more admired and reviled in any century than Muhammad Ali. For these and other reasons the opening of the film "Ali" today is a much-anticipated event.

George O'Leary And Notre Dame's Integrity, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
George O'Leary's tenure as head football coach at the University of Notre Dame was shorter than even his most vehement detractors had predicted. It took him only five days to self-destruct which could be a NCAA record.
Sport And The Theater Of The Absurd, Richard C. Crepeau
Sport And The Theater Of The Absurd, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There are times when I think that the entire world of sport was put on this earth to amuse me with unending scenes from the theater of the absurd. The last several days brought repeated waves of this feeling.

Pearl Harbor And Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As predicted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt December 7, 1941 was a day that has lived in infamy. Sixty years ago the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor drew the United States into World War II.

The Bcs And The Non-Sense It Spawns, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
About this time each year since the creation of the BCS I have posed the question, "Who took the "C" out of the "BCS?" Each year there are different answers to the question, and this year there are many and there may be still more to come.
Thanksgiving And Football, Richard C. Crepeau
Thanksgiving And Football, 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) The History of Thanksgiving and of Football both go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would become intertwined in modern America.
Mark Mcgwire Leaves The Game: His Legacy, Richard C. Crepeau
Mark Mcgwire Leaves The Game: His Legacy, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Mark McGwire has retired. He will be best remembered as the man who broke Roger Maris' single season home run record. He will be remembered in tandem with Sammy Sosa for that wonderful season of 1998 when the two of them chased Roger Maris across the sands of time and then both caught him. He will be remembered for the wonderful scene as he broke Maris' record. He will be remembered as one of the "Bash Brothers" who, along with Jose Canseco, redefined the term "long ball" and became a "murderer's row" of two.

Downsizing Mlb, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
When asked if it was a sad day for baseball when it was announced that two major league baseball teams would be eliminated within the next few weeks, Bud Selig, Baseball's Wizard of Oz, said "no." What did you expect from the man who cancelled the World Series?
Patriotism Post 9/11 And Contraction, Richard C. Crepeau
Patriotism Post 9/11 And Contraction, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Now back in the country among My Fellow Americans, but still wandering the highways and byways, I watch with some interest the spectacle of the baseball playoffs and the World Series in the new Post-9/11 World. I am struck by the intensity of the patriotic pageantry prior to each game. The often beautiful and moving singing of the National Anthem; the excessive displays of the red, white and blue; President Bush throwing out the first ball at the World Series; all conspire to mark these events as great moments of communal remembrance and/or celebration.

The Late But Still Great World Series: Bob Brenly Is Blessed At The Bob, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In many ways this unpredictable World Series was highly predictable, in other ways it was one of the wildest crapshoots in recent history. It was also one of the best World Series ever, rivaling the 1991 Twins-Braves in my memory bank.
The Canadian Sports Scene Dominated By Hockey - Baseball A Footnote, Richard C. Crepeau
The Canadian Sports Scene Dominated By Hockey - Baseball A Footnote, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Last Thursday morning I was awakened by a voice with a slightly different accent reciting the score of every hockey game that had taken place in Canada the previous night. Clearly there are more hockey teams than gas stations in Canada. As usual the CBC announcer told me the major league baseball scores only from the games involving Montreal and Toronto, no others. There was one concession as the Barry Bonds watch was mentioned.

Sport Commemorates 9/11, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
If there was any doubt about the significance of sport in American life this past weekend should put those doubts to rest. The events of Friday night in New York at Shea Stadium alone were a reminder of just how sport can bring a community together, sometimes to celebrate and sometimes to mourn. In this case to do both.

Sport In Time Of National Crisis Or Disaster, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
One week ago at about this time sitting in the mountains of North Carolina doing some writing and listening to classical music on the radio, I was distracted by a special news bulletin. The announcer said there had been what appeared to be an attack on the World Trade Center in New York. I quickly moved to turn on the television and was struck by a sense of total disbelief at what I saw.
