Nba Finals, Richard C. Crepeau Jun 1994

Nba Finals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There were times when I thought I was watching the World Wrestling Federation. All that was missing was a gold lamay cape worn by Patrick Ewing, cowboy boots and stetson for Charles Oakley, or designer trunks with matching shoes for John Starks. As for Pat Riley he has always looked the part.

Baseball's All-Star Game, Richard C. Crepeau Jun 1994

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

On Sport and Society

Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up on Tuesday in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, one of the old style cookie-cutter ballparks of the early 60's. Although the concept of an All-Star game dates back to 1858 and a game between all-star teams from Brooklyn and New York, it was sixty-one years ago that the first modern all-star game was held, July 6, 1933.

College Athletes And Payoff's, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

As the station went off the air to increase power one of the biggest stories in college sport was coming out of Tallahassee by way of Sports Illustrated. It was not the swimsuit issue, but Florida State University must have felt nearly naked as the story of players taking payoffs from agents became public.

Formula One Driver Ayrton Senna, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The biggest story in the world of sport this past week was not the abrupt and quick end of the Orlando Magic season, although clearly in Central Florida it was and continues to be the biggest topic of conversation among sports fans. It is a story clearly worth some comment and I will return to it at a later date.

Indiana's Civil Rights Commission: A History Of The First Five Years, David Sabol Apr 1994

Indiana's Civil Rights Commission: A History Of The First Five Years, David Sabol

Graduate Thesis Collection

Indiana's Civil Rights Commission evolved from the need to combat the often subtle racial injustices that permeated Hoosier society in the late 1950s and 1960s. A tradition of segregation along racial lines in Indiana was being challenged in the early 1960s by newly elected leaders who believed that their fellow black Hoosiers deserved to be treated fairly under the laws that were designed to protect their citizenship. For that reasonr Indiana's new leaders chose to create a state government agency based on the federal model for a civil rights commission. With the formation of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission [ICRC] …

City Of Orlando The Magic Contract And Al Davis' Desires, Richard C. Crepeau Apr 1994

City Of Orlando The Magic Contract And Al Davis' Desires, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Is there a sinister force stalking Orlando? Are the taxpayers of the city about to be relieved of some of their excess cash? Are the citizens of Orlando ready to turn over $30M to $40M to Al Davis along with a piece of real estate, and another $4M to the DeVos clan? These indeed are worthy charities, and the people of Orlando through their representatives should support these charitable enterprises. Orlando has long been noted for its support of public welfare for the worthy, the oppressed and the downtroden.

"The 125th Anniversary", Richard C. Crepeau

For the past six weeks or so I have been looking with some curiosity at the patch being worn by major league baseball players this season. It is the logo of major league baseball with an inscription reading "125th Anniversary."

Wayne Gretzky, Richard C. Crepeau Apr 1994

Wayne Gretzky, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This past week Wayne Gretzky became the career scoring leader in the National Hockey League. For fifteen seasons now The Great One has been the dominant figure in hockey and in sport. But to call him The Great One is to grossly understate his significance. Wayne Gretzky holds sixty NHL records and now has added one more to the list, as he has broken Gordie Howe's record in over 600 less games, and eleven fewer seasons than Howe.

Jimmy Johnson, Richard C. Crepeau Apr 1994

Jimmy Johnson, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was a week to remember in Dallas. Even by Texas standards this story was as big and slimy as they come. Jimmy Johnson was gone, Barry Switzer had arrived, and Jerry Jones had just swapped the two biggest egos in football coaching for one another. Proving in the process that he has the biggest ego of all. Not to mention the most power.

Baseball's New Landscape: Playoff Structure, Richard C. Crepeau Mar 1994

Baseball's New Landscape: Playoff Structure, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In a week when those looking for signs of the end of the world saw Jimmy Johnson leave Dallas and the Gators make the final four, major league baseball also presents a new face. The 1994 season opens with three divisions in each league, producing three divisional champions, plus one wild card team, and an extra tier of playoffs. The compelling force in this change is television, which can only make money on playoffs and the World Series and loses money during the regular season.

Money And March Madness - Money And Bobby Knight, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The Big Dance. The Road to Charlotte. The Road to the Final Four. March Madness. All those colorful names created by the people at CBS, for what is in fact the Big Paycheck, the road to the bank, recruiting madness, and the road to the final corruption of college sport.

Spring Training In Florida: Renewal And History, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There is no other time like it in sport. Spring training in Florida is a dream, a fantasy, and a time of eternal optimism. It is a dream for all those caught in the endless winter trying to become spring. And it is a dream for all those players at every level of the game trying to start or consummate the march to the majors.

Winter Olympics: Nordic Combined - Oksana Baiul - Hockey Final- Tomba, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

With just a few days remaining it appeared that most of the great moments of the Winter Games had already taken place, but then starting on Thursday one remarkable moment after another came across the television screens. There was the Norwegian medal sweep in the Alpine combined, the great skiing of Deborah Campononi of Italy in the salom, and Espen Bredesen's gold for Norway in the 90 meter ski jump.

If you have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, the sounds being heard over the last week are starting to resemble an avalanche at the Tom MacCann factory. I'm talking, of course, about the Tonya Harding Story, or is it the Nancy Kerrigan Story, or perhaps the Three Stooges meet Tonya.

Super Bowl: Corporate Excess And Roman Numerals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It's that time of year once again. One of America's premier sporting events is about to take place. The one which identifies itself using Roman Numerals. It is less than forty-eight hours from Super Sunday, and there probably hasn't been this much Yankee pillaging in Atlanta since Sherman's troops were in town 130 years ago.

Ncaa Scholarship Cuts And Black Coaches Assn.- Nfl Conference Finals, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1994

Ncaa Scholarship Cuts And Black Coaches Assn.- Nfl Conference Finals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The NCAA decided a year ago to cut the number of scholarships for men's basketball from fifteen to thirteen. Two weeks ago that body in convention rejected an attempt by a number of coaches to restore one of the two scholarships. This produced cries of pain from several of the coaches, and from one coaches group, the Black Coaches Association. They claimed racism, and threatened a boycott. The threat was withdrawn when the Congressional Black Caucus and the Justice Department displayed some interest in the subject. One can only speculate that the NCAA would have preferred a boycott to the …

Winning isn't everything, its the only thing. The words of course of that great American philosopher Vince Lombardi. I was reminded of them once again this week as the bizarre story of the attack on Nancy Kerrigan unfolded. And as it unfolded the nature of this commentary changed dramatically.

Sugar Bowl Fans, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1994

Sugar Bowl Fans, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is fascinating to be in the middle of a sporting event and to be surrounded by thousands of people who are rabidly involved, and to be in a position in which you are essentially indifferent to the outcome. The most startling thing about this experience is the realization that human beings could get worked into a frenzy by something of such little significance, while knowing that you yourself would be in the same state if it was your favorite team that was involved. In some ways it is a sobering experience.
