Olympic Sponsorship:Theme And Variation, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1992

Olympic Sponsorship:Theme And Variation, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is enlightening to page through the "Olympic Preview" issue of Sports Illustrated. The photos are beautiful, but the advertising is clearly the central feature. Not unlike the Olympic Games themselves.

Olympics In Barcelona: Up Close And Personal, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The 1992 Summer Olympics from Barcelona is less than a week old and already I am irritated by any number of things, but especially by NBC. Those who chart such things tell us that NBC will provide 161 hours of mostly taped coverage of the XXVth Olympiad. What they don't tell us is that of these 161 hours, approximately 10 minutes of each hour contains actual event coverage. The other 50 minutes of the hour are filled with commercials from every major U.S. corporation featuring Olympic athletes past and present; promotional spots for NBC programming; endless carping about the personal …

Wimbledon - Baseball At Mid-Season, Richard C. Crepeau Jul 1992

Wimbledon - Baseball At Mid-Season, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament is heading into its final weekend. Strawberries and cream at Wimbledon go back over a century, and the royal trappings surrounding this tournament are enough to make a tennis millionaire feel right at home. One suspects however that this year Lady Diana will not make her usual appearance in the Royal Box at Centre Court, with most of the love having gone out of her game.

"A League Of Their Own", Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It may come as a surprise to some that "A League of Their Own," the new motion picture starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, and Madonna, is based on fact. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League(AAGPBL) was founded in 1943 by Philip Wrigley, with the encouragement of Branch Rickey and Bill Veeck.

Expansion In Professional Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The big news in Florida sports last week was expansion. The Florida Marlins sent two farm teams onto the field for the first time, and the dreams of future glory were put into motion. Also the Tampa Bay Lightning began stocking its roster, first with the castoffs of other teams, and then in the entry draft. The big news this week in Orlando was the drafting of Shaquille O'Neal, finally.

The Beauty Of The Athleticism In The Nba And The Nhl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Two or three decades ago there was a joke that circulated about a kindergarten teacher who asked the children if they knew the four seasons of the year. An eager young boy waved his hand, and shouted the answer: Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey. That cute little joke has lost all of its meaning in this, the last decade of the 20th century.

Nba And Nhl:Success And Failure, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

While watching NBA and NHL playoffs over the past few months I have been struck by the remarkable difference between what has happened to these two professional sports leagues in the last ten to fifteen years. Under the leadership of David Stern the NBA has prospered with Bird and Magic, expanding its presence to what is now approaching world-wide dimensions; while the NHL first with Gretzky and now Lemieux languished with John Zeigler at the helm.

Over the past few weeks a number of small items have caught my eye. They are not large enough issues and topics to occupy the entire commentary, so I have been saving them for a chance to dump them all together.

The America's Cup, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I have a confession to make. I enjoy the America's Cup. I watch it on television. It is neither exciting nor rollicking fun, but I find it interesting, and at times filled with tension. Apparently unlike most sports fans I am not bored by it.


Title Ix, Richard C. Crepeau May 1992

Title Ix, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Twenty years ago Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act made sexual discrimination illegal for any high school district or institution of higher education that received federal aid. This meant that it applied to almost every school in the nation. It also meant that in the area of sport, discrimination against women was illegal. This legislation was opposed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the NCAA. At the time of Title IX's passage college athletics for women were under the auspices of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, the AIAW.

Isaac Murphy: A 19th Century African-American Jockey, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The name Isaac Murphy is not exactly a household word in American Sport, and I suspect even among those who follow horse racing the name is not likely to evoke recognition. But on this day before the Kentucky Derby it might be worth recalling the career of Isaac Murphy.

The Babe: Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If you like scatological humor, overdone caricature, stupidity masking as innocence, then you might well enjoy The Babe, the over hyped, over promoted new film from Universal Pictures starring John Goodman as the Bambino. If you go to this film in search of the definitive life of George Herman Ruth, as is promised by Director Arthur Hiller and writer-producer John Fusco, you will be greatly disappointed.

The last words of last week's commentary were, "This could be a long a one." It wasn't. The Hockey Strike is over, and it was a short one, ten days. Did the Sure-Footed Northern Rink Rat succumb to the call of the Stanley Cup? Or did the owners cave in under the economic pressures of the moment? Who blinked first, the players or the owners?
