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.

On Sport and Society

The first football game of the college season took place on Thursday night and there are a number of other games this weekend. Many colleges and universities are not yet in session and some players will play as many as four or five games before they see the inside of a college classroom. Yes, these are the student athletes of NCAA legend.

On Sport and Society

The latest in the "Survivor" series is currently being filmed in Kenya, where locals are amused and confused by the notion that survival in their everyday environment has been turned into a ludicrous game show by Americans. Indeed the reality television craze seems to be hitting new levels of unreality everyday.

Two of Minnesota's favorite athletes are being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Origins Of Baseball Revealed - Trying To Speed Up The Game, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The heat and humidity of late July is sending me slouching towards the Dog Days of August. The dread miasma is creeping in from the swamps and the vapors hang in the saturated night air. The tropics of Central Florida drain your energy and create hallucinatory conditions. Some days it's so bad that not a creature is stirring not even The Mouse.

Knight Commission: Another Futile Attempt To Reform College Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau Jul 2001

Knight Commission: Another Futile Attempt To Reform College Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Once again the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics has issued a call for reform. As was the case with the Jeremiad Sermons of the 17th Century Puritans, the call for reform has become a ritual whose primary function is to cleanse the sinner so that they might go forth and sin again. Any real prospect of reform and change is as remote in intercollegiate athletics today as it was for the debauched sinners in the Massachusetts of the Mathers. Or as they used to say in rural America, the horse has long since left the barn.

Eddie Scissons Syndrome, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over a decade ago Rob Sheinkopf and I examined Eddie Scissons Syndrome and its many manifestations in American society. This piece was published in Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature, after having been presented at a meeting of the Sport Literature Association in Florence, Oregon. A little over a week ago Rob offered an update of this peculiarity of human folly at the SLA meeting in Johnson City.

Tiger Woods Is God: Check The Website, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Quick, tell me the name of the golfer who won the U.S. Open last week. Now which golfer didn't win? If you are like most casual golf watchers you couldn't name the winner, but you knew that Tiger Woods did not win. My guess is that you could not name either of the players who were in the Monday playoff. And furthermore, like much of the rest of America, you did not watch the final round of the tournament on Sunday, nor the Monday playoff.

Hockey Night In Orlando: The End For The Ihl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Whenever I went off to see the Solar Bears of the International Hockey League in the O-rena, I liked to think of it as "Hockey Night in Orlando." With much fanfare and enthusiasm the Orlando Solar Bears opened play in the IHL six seasons ago. Two weeks ago they won the Turner Cup signifying the championship of the IHL. A few days later the IHL was out of business, and then two days ago the Solar Bears announced their exit from the scene.

Homosexuality And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

It was not a big story but it did set the sports talk shows buzzing for a few days and some print was expended on it. Brendon Lemon, editor of Out magazine let it be known that he has been involved in an affair with a major league baseball player, and that he just might reveal the identity of that player. Lemon said he was tired of the strain that this secret corner of his life was taking on him and his lover.

By all accounts it was a normal day at the Minneapolis Public Library. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed in the air. Then suddenly there was shouting, a shower of obscenities, and a general ruckus over in one crowded section of the main reading room. No, Governor Ventura had not arrived.
