Technology, Chemistry, And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 2000

Technology, Chemistry, And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The American historian Bruce Catton once said that people in the scientific and industrial age are governed by a basic rule: What we CAN do, we MUST do. When both the risks and the rewards are high, and because the rewards are more immediate and the risks more distant, this rule governs the uses of science and technology in sport.


The Sydney Games And Cathy Freeman Overshadow The Corruption And Distortion, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 2000

The Sydney Games And Cathy Freeman Overshadow The Corruption And Distortion, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The Sydney Olympics, like all those before it, had both its wonderful moments and its controversies. For Sydney undoubtedly the defining moment occurred when Cathy Freeman took the gold medal in the 400-meter race. A nation stopped and gave its undivided attention as one of its citizens of aboriginal origin ran away from the field. The 110,000 fans in Olympic Stadium cheered wildly, thousands just outside the stadium watching on a large screen television did the same, and in downtown Sydney yet another large vocal crowd screamed in joy at the sight of Freeman's exquisite run. As if to underline …

Australia's Olympics Of Yesterday Today, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was last Friday and the Olympic Games were about to begin. Little did I know that the time-space continuum was about to collapse in upon me.

The Bible Belt, The Sun Belt, And Christian Symbols In Sport, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 2000

The Bible Belt, The Sun Belt, And Christian Symbols In Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Sometimes I am amazed by the news from the world of sport, but most of the time that's because I forget where I am. The recent flap over the Supreme Court ruling on prayer at high school football games is a case in point. This should not surprise me at all as for the past thirty-five years I have lived in, or all too near, the Bible Belt.


Sport And Sex, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 2000

Sport And Sex, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The Orlando Predators, reigning champions of Arena Football for two years running, had a billboard promotion at the beginning of this season showing a close-up of the more than ample breasts of a local woman known as "Laurie." The billboard caption read, "Fake Right. Fake Left." Now I know people around the country are saying, "what do you expect in a state that is the home of a mammary-themed restaurant chain?" but in fact there were people locally who found this in bad taste.


The Pga: Six Hours Of Riveting Golf With Tiger And Bob May, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 2000

The Pga: Six Hours Of Riveting Golf With Tiger And Bob May, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

At no time in my life could I possibly have imagined that I would sit and watch golf on television for nearly six hours and be able to retain my sanity. I still find it hard to believe that I did just that this past Sunday as the PGA Championship was played to its riveting conclusion.


Is Sydney Ready For The Olymics And Are The Olympians Ready For Sydney?, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 2000

Is Sydney Ready For The Olymics And Are The Olympians Ready For Sydney?, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is now less than a month from the opening of the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where it will be winter when the games begin and spring when they end. It will be fall in the Northern Hemisphere before the games end, and summer nowhere, expect perhaps in Lausanne where the sun always shines at the Court of Juan Antonio the Great.


The Decrease In The Number Of Female Coaches For Girls And Women's Athletic Teams At The High School And Collegiate Level, Debra A. Pope Aug 2000

The Decrease In The Number Of Female Coaches For Girls And Women's Athletic Teams At The High School And Collegiate Level, Debra A. Pope

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the decreased numbers of female coaches at the high school and collegiate levels on females participating in athletics. To research this subject matter, a survey was conducted. This survey was administered to 40 female athletes at the high school level that were attending a summer girl's basketball camp in the state of North Carolina. With the range of age between 13 and 17, it was felt that the best possible overall spectrum of information for school-age female athletes would be discovered. While researching past studies, reading past and recent …


The Orlando Magic And Their Cloudy Future, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 2000

The Orlando Magic And Their Cloudy Future, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

When we last left the Orlando Magic they had just completed a highly successful season of "Heart and Hustle" basketball under the leadership of novice head coach Glenn "Doc" Rivers. Magic GM John Gabriel cleaned house after Penny Hardaway took his whine and left for the desert and no one expected much from the Prestidigitators. Just barely missing the playoffs the Magic had been a highly entertaining team during the millennial season.

Buying Cuba And Other Absurdities, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

New York(AP)-At a hastily called press conference today the New York Yankees announced that they had purchased Cuba, the island and the country. A Yankee spokesman would not reveal the purchase price, believed to be in the ten or eleven figure range, but did say that Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner would spare no expense to ensure that the Yankees would remain competitive.


Division On Campus Over Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 2000

Division On Campus Over Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

How many out there remember the name Jan Kemp? Or Linda Benzel Myers? My guess is that more people are likely to remember the name Murray Sperber? All three have several things in common. They publicly criticized the athletic programs at their universities, and as a result became unwelcome members of their university community and were subjected to harassment. All paid a high price for their insistence on academic integrity and standards.

Mid-Summer Beauty In Sport: The Events And The People, Richard C. Crepeau Jul 2000

Mid-Summer Beauty In Sport: The Events And The People, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

We are without a doubt deeply into the dog days of summer. That catatonic look brought on by unrelieved heat is commonplace. The celebrations of the fourth of July, the Wimbledon fortnight, and baseball's All-Star game are all behind us. The grind of baseball's pennant races are beginning to take their toll. Everyone seems to be a bit testier than usual, some even more so than Roger Clemens.

The Excellence Of Tiger Woods, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If you were lucky enough to watch Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open last weekend you could not help but be impressed by the excellence of play, the poise of this young athlete, and the fact that you were watching an athlete redefining their sport.


Baseball Bashes Itself In Blue Ribbon Report, Richard C. Crepeau Jul 2000

Baseball Bashes Itself In Blue Ribbon Report, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Clearly the biggest surprise in this week's blue ribbon panel report on the state of baseball is the fact that George Will prefers a command economy over free enterprise, and that he is foursquare in favor of installing socialist principles into the very fabric of the national pastime. It makes one wonder who really won the Cold War. Say it ain't so, Geo!


The Silly Season For Cubs And Congress, Richard C. Crepeau Jun 2000

The Silly Season For Cubs And Congress, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It could be the full moon again. Or perhaps silliness is now the norm. Whichever the case, two items caught my eye this week. First, the Chicago Cubs are talking about trading Sammy Sosa, and second the U.S. Congress is considering legislation to ban legal betting on college sports. Which is the sillier of the two? Medieval theologians could debate that for decades.

The Stanley Cup Final Has It All And Thensome, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was one of the best events of the early summer. The finals of the NHL Playoffs, the Battle for Lord Stanley's Cup, hit high gear and produced two of the best games in any sport over recent months. Indeed the last two games were among the best ever.

Maurice Richard And The Canadian Psyche, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It's always difficult to think of Canada as a foreign country. I once went to Canada without a passport or any other legitimate documents for border identification. Oddly, only the U.S. authorities had a problem with that.

Ioc And Bribery - Bobby Knight And His Temper, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This week there was a full moon an astronomical event with which strange occurrences often coincide. So perhaps it was no more than lunar destiny that produced a rash of tortuously argued and ludicrous decisions by alleged intelligent people. Or perhaps it was just another case of arrogant defenders of privilege rationalizing themselves silly.
