Father's Day, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This week for Father's Day I want to talk about the man who taught me a love of sport, and especially a love of baseball, and who taught me much about life.

Rodman Rules, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After watching Michael and the Bulls win a sixth NBA championship you can only come away with a sense of awe at what this team has done. In the process however one Bull doesn't get his due as a basketball player, although one hears and sees more than enough about him for his off-court activity.

World Cup But Not A Big Deal In The U.S., Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The frenzy has begun over the biggest sporting event in the world. It started this week in France and will continue over the next several weeks until its conclusion on July 12. This is the greatest tournament in the history of sport, the quest for the World Cup, the Coupe du Monde.

Nba Draft, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The NBA draft has come and gone, once again leaving in its wake any number of questions about the future of the NBA and about those whom entered the draft process. But those questions can wait. This night of less than scintillating television looked very much like a glorified meat market presenting itself as a magical dream machine.

Turner Broadcasting, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I don't know about you, but most everyone seems to be underwhelmed by the announcement from Turner Broadcasting and NBC last week that they were preparing to launch a new professional football league. Reactions have run the gamut from charges of stupidity to diagnoses of insanity.

Karolj Seles, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I never have cared much for her as a player. The awkward looking two-handed shot was too easily contrasted to the grace of Chris Evert's two-handed backhand. And Chris didn't emit that godawful grunt. It alone is enough to drive you from center-court at Wimbledon on a beautiful clear summer day.

Wayne Huizinga And The Dismantling Of The Florida Marlins, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If the Florida Marlins never win another game, they will already have won too many. This weekend came the latest episode in the baseball version of a "scorched earth policy" usually done as an army retreats in defeat and humiliation. The man orchestrating this operation, Marlin owner and pyramid king of South Florida, H. Wayne Huizenga, has produced another Blockbuster Deal worthy of a man who began his career in trash and is now selling used cars. The only difference here is that Wayne is scorching the earth in victory, and then producing the defeat and humiliation.

Gene Mcdowell, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This past Thursday U.S. District Judge Anne Conway sentenced former University of Central Florida football coach, Gene McDowell, for his string of lies to federal agents, prosecutors, and a grand jury about the cell phone scandal within the UCF football team.

Too Much Sport On Television?, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

We've all heard the conventional wisdom that if you eat too much chocolate it will make you sick. Some of us experienced this phenomenon as children and learned from it.

Baseball Strike Again On The Horizon - Salary Arbitration Still The Key, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Barring an eleventh hour settlement, today will mark the beginning of the fifth strike and eighth work stoppage in major league baseball over the past quarter century. At stake in this struggle is whether or not after twenty years the owners will be able to reverse the power flow into the hands of the players. The rise of the Major League Baseball Players Association under the skillful leadership of Marvin Miller, coupled with some astoundingly inept moves by ownership precipitated a power shift in baseball from management to labor.

Dream Team Ii, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

They called it Dream Team II. What was the point? Was it the Dream Team, the Cream Team or the Scream Team? Was this an exercise in the promotion of international relations through basketball, or another instance of Ugly Americanism in the late Imperial Age?

Bad Behavior, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

When you go off on vacation you feel as if the world stops and nothing of great significance takes place. When you return you quickly reacquaint yourself with the realities, realize that many things did happen of questionable significance, and very quickly you are back into the flow and the cool mountains of New Mexico take on a dreamlike quality.

Race And Athlete's, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

A few weeks ago Addis and The Sporting News sponsored a symposium in New York City on the issue of job opportunity for minorities in management level positions in sport. One of the participants in the discussion was Bill Rhoden, columnist for The New York Times and The Sporting News. That symposium and several of Bill Rhoden's columns over the past few weeks have reminded me of a number of issues which have been raised in the past few years, but have not been adequately addressed in most professional and intercollegiate sports establishments.

Fishing Is Not For Me, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Having been born and raised in Minnesota and now having lived nearly thirty years in Florida, I have spent most of my life on this planet in two of the fishingest states in the Union. Florida has almost as many bass fishermen as it does ways of taking money from tourists. Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, although in reality there are over 100,000 lakes in my home state.
