Formula One Driver Ayrton Senna, Richard C. Crepeau May 1994

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.

Richard Nixon And Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In one of the most interesting and bizarre pieces of American literature featuring a president of the United States, Robert Coover in "Whatever Happened to Gloomy Gus of the Chicago Bears?" draws a picture of the late 37th President of the United States that has become a classic of presidential portraiture.

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

On Sport and Society

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

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.

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.

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.

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 …
