Shoplifting And Shop Forgetting In Tallahassee: Fsu One More Time, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 1999

Shoplifting And Shop Forgetting In Tallahassee: Fsu One More Time, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It may be something in the air or perhaps the water but whatever the cause illegal shopping for wearing apparel seems endemic to Tallahassee, Florida. Or perhaps it is just the fact that two of the more corrupt institutions of our time are located there: government and a major college football program.

Bud Lite's Bloodless Coup - No Nfl In La, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Two sparsely reported and remarkable events from Sportsworld in the past week caught my eye and have gotten me thinking that we may be witnessing some fundamental shifts in the two sports that claim to be our national game. As one would expect these developments did not take place on the playing fields, but rather in the boardrooms. In baseball the positions of League President have been abolished, and in football it seems likely that the NFL will remain shut out of the Los Angeles market.

Espn's 20th Anniversary, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

"Anniversary of everything these days. Enough to give a guy the creeps." This line from Robert Coover's brilliant baseball novel "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop." speaks to our excessive penchant for celebrations of milestones and anniversaries.

Killing The Umpires Union, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Kill the Umpire! Kill the Umpire! It's one of the oldest cliches in American sport. And in the early days of baseball sometimes they tried, and on the rare occasion they succeeded.

Raising Standards And Beating The System: Forget Reform, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1999

Raising Standards And Beating The System: Forget Reform, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The beauty of intercollegiate athletics and the NCAA attempt to control them is that whatever is done, something else follows that will corrupt the solution. In a perfect world it would also produce new and more elaborate levels of corruption. The current case in point revolves around the attempt by the NCAA to mandate minimum SAT and ACT scores and thus guarantee some modicum of brain wave activity in the recruited student athlete.

Pee Wee Reese And Stefi Graf And Us, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

One of those inevitabilities of human existence struck twice over the past few days in the world of sport, reminding us that the ultimate failure of the human body remains the fate of us all. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why we put such a high value on sport, representing as it does the transcendence of the body over reality, often driven by the mind and heart.

Sport And Education In Osceola County: A Question Of Priorities, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1999

Sport And Education In Osceola County: A Question Of Priorities, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Tip O'Neill is generally credited with having said, "All politics are local." There is a certain truth to that not just in politics but on all the stages of human activity. In Central Florida over the past two weeks a number of things have happened to reinforce that notion in sport and other venues. At the confluence of local sport and education the last few weeks have been rich in both the ludicrous and the ironic.

Stanley Cup Playoffs, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In the recently concluded Stanley Cup playoffs the point was made repeatedly that the road to the Cup is a war of attrition. Unlike other sports leagues, the National Hockey League does not require their teams to reveal injuries, and in fact disguising and hiding injuries has become a major art form in the NHL, while trainers and team doctors have come to rival coaches in their significance. Various drugs have become the key elements to victory.

Akers came to my Sport History class to talk about this victory and her position as the greatest female soccer player in the World.

Tennis, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

What ever happened to tennis, "The Sport of the Seventies?" It was all the rage. The names of the great players were known universally: King, Court, Evert, McEnroe, Borg, Ashe and Connors. After every big television tennis weekend you couldn't get a court in a public park without a two-hour wait. If you played in the big private venues, well you might be able to get a court at 2 a.m. on Wednesday or Thursday, but you couldn't expect much else.

On Sport and Society

This past week has been a difficult one for Orlando Magic fans. After going through a short season in reasonably good style the Magic went out of the playoffs in short shrift. This was not only a sign that the Magic have major problems they must face in the weeks ahead, but it also was one of many indications that in the post-Michael NBA major changes are taking place.
