  • Sports Television and the Culture of Personalities
    Sports Television and the Culture of Personalities Robert Cavanagh, Emerson College - Los Angeles Professional sports television personalities perform a range of specialized discursive functions. Their appearances are defined by a variety of significant and overlapping distinctions: between athlete-celebrities and media industry professionals, between local and national sports television personalities, between play-by-play, color commentators, studio-show hosts vs analysts and league “insiders,” and between quasi-journalistic professionals who work and have worked exclusively in media industries and the current and former athletes and coaches who appear alongside them. I’m going to concentrate on this last distinction and on sports punditry because I think it clearly st manifests the significant changes that are shaping 21 ​ century sports media, particularly ​ the pressure on the myth of sports as a neutral and apolitical field. While there remain significant differences between the discourse and performative functions of coaches, athletes and “sports reporters,” trends in the cable sports television industry along with the rise of social and digital media have blurred these boundaries. Reporters have st always shared with athletes the responsibility for hyping spectacles, but 21 ​ century ​ athletes contribute more than ever to a broader and more diverse discourse on sport. As it is has become part of the job of the TV sports reporter to repeat their takes on Twitter, podcasts, and radio, it has become more difficult to separate their commentary from the current and former athletes and coaches who share those spaces. A key moment in the expansion of sports punditry was the turn to relevance in 1970s television and the relationship between Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali.

  • ESPN: MNF Dilemma: How to Entice Casual Fans, Not Alienate Purists
    ESPN.com - MNF dilemma: How to entice casual fans, not alienate purists Page 1 of 4 ESPN.com: Schreiber [Print without images] Sunday, February 10, 2008 Updated: February 11, 4:25 PM ET MNF dilemma: How to entice casual fans, not alienate purists By Le Anne Schreiber ESPN Ombudsman In this brief interval between the end of ESPN's lavish NFL season coverage and the beginning of its equally lavish offseason coverage, I want to look back at its marquee NFL show --" Monday Night Football." MNF is ESPN's most expensive, most watched and, almost by definition, most criticized show. Minutes after 8:30 p.m. every Monday this fall and early winter, my mailbox began to balloon with messages from a segment of fans who were unhappy even before the kickoff. They didn't need to see the game to know what they didn't like. They did not like seeing three men in the booth. They wanted two -- a play-by-play announcer and an analyst who stuck to X's and 0's. They did not want a color commentator. They did not want sideline reporters, especially female ones. They wanted no talk of off-the-field matters. They wanted no booth guests. These viewers offered a hard knot of resistance to MNF from first game to last, and I imagine they are ESPN's nightmare -- they are football's true faithful, purists important to please, and yet perhaps impossible to please while MNF seeks an audience large enough to justify its eight-year, $8.8 billion rights contract with the NFL.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN: THE
    ABSTRACT Dissertation: Title of WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN: THE MEDIATED LIFE AND AFTERLIFE OF LEN BIAS Justin Bernard Hudson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Susan D. Moeller, Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation considers the role of sports journalists, politicians, activists, and other mythmakers in constructing the posthumous legacy of Len Bias, a black college basketball star who died of a cocaine overdose two days after being selected second overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1986 National Basketball Association Draft. Guided by previous research on myth, collective memory, and the intersection of sports media and race, I analysis Bias as a cultural text that reveals both hegemonic and counter-hegemonic views of black masculinity, crime, drugs, and sports. Journalists lauded Bias during his career at the University of Maryland for being an exemplary scholar-athlete, and the antithesis of the wayward black athlete and black drug-dealer that increasingly appeared in the media during the mid-1980s. After his death, however, journalists, university presidents, sports administrators, and politicians used Bias’ death, erroneously linked to crack cocaine, to call for anti-drug reforms in American sport aimed at black athletes and tougher legislative measures to combat the threat of crack, a cheap form of powder cocaine that originated in poor, black inner-city communities. During this anti-crack frenzy, Congress passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which established harsh penalties for drug offenders found with crack cocaine. After the initial frenzy dissipated, Bias’ death still shaped discussions about the criminal justice system and sports.
