The Canadian Sports Scene Dominated By Hockey - Baseball A Footnote, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Last Thursday morning I was awakened by a voice with a slightly different accent reciting the score of every hockey game that had taken place in Canada the previous night. Clearly there are more hockey teams than gas stations in Canada. As usual the CBC announcer told me the major league baseball scores only from the games involving Montreal and Toronto, no others. There was one concession as the Barry Bonds watch was mentioned.

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.

Football Begins Its Longest Season Ever - Signs Of Opening Football Season, Richard C. Crepeau

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.

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

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.
