  • Context/Description
    Nathan Goldman Context/Description Introduction “Moneyball” is undoubtedly one of the most influential sports movies of all time. The Hollywood screenplay originated from actual events that took place in Major League Baseball by one of the sports biggest underdogs. Despite facing an incredibly traditionalized system and extreme financial obstacles, the “Oakland Athletics” were able to spark a change in Baseball's culture by dominating on the Diamond. With the help of the movie's entertaining storyline, this “methodological cultural shift” began to be applied in other areas of society. Obviously culture shifts happen in many different fields of “corporational management”, but it's unanimously uncertain why and how they occur? Communication scholars would definitely be intrigued in locating what this process may look like through the framework of “Moneyball’s cinema production.” For the purpose of this research investigation, a concise motive is formulated to directly address the established Question. The primary objective is to Analyze Moneyball’s accurate representation of how the Oakland Athletics front office utilized a “Counterpublic perspective” to impact the culture of baseball, by removing visual evaluations of players, and replacing it with pure statistical criteria. Throughout the duration of this section, there are intentions to unpack how these norms are perceived within Baseball culture. Acknowledging the realization of this persistently “antiprogressive theme” in the sport is key before starting a theoretical analysis. In many ways Baseball acts as a microcosm for society's social problems, compared to this unframiler theme in other popular professional sports such as the “NFL”, and “NBA”. Former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones claims: “We already have two strikes against us already, so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game.

Washington until you get to the intersection with Huron Ave. You can’t miss the mosque. With a towering 72-foot-high minaret, it stands out. But the intersection could be found in any U.S. city, large or small: Across the street is a 7-Eleven, a Christian Assembly church and a gun shop. A block away are the NFL Network offices. This fall, Muslim students at LMU re- quested campus space to hold communal prayer each Friday. Their request was wel- comed by the university, and they now meet in the Marymount Institute for Faith, Cul- ture, and the Arts, in University Hall.

    Burke, Glenn (1952-1995) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Glenn Burke was the first major league baseball player to acknowledge his homosexuality publicly. Although the general public did not learn of his orientation until after his retirement, some people in professional baseball knew or suspected it during his playing days. Burke believed that homophobia in the culture of professional baseball impeded his chances for a more successful career in the game. "Prejudice just won out," he said. Burke was born on November 16, 1952 in Oakland, California, where he grew up. His father, Luther Burke, a sawmill worker, left the family when Glenn Burke was less than a year old. The senior Burke continued to have sporadic contact with his eight children, but it was his wife, Alice Burke, who took responsibility for supporting the family on her income as a nursing-home aide. Burke's athletic ability made him a star on the Berkeley (California) High School baseball and basketball teams. It was basketball that was Burke's primary interest at the time, and he dreamed of a career in that sport. His performance in high school won him an athletic scholarship to the University of Denver in 1970. He left the school after only a few months, however, saying that he could not abide the cold Colorado winter. Back home in the Bay area, Burke enrolled in Merritt Junior College and played on its baseball team. Still hoping for a career in professional basketball, Burke considered going to the Golden State Warriors' training camp for a try-out; but in 1971, before the camp opened, Burke signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose scout had been impressed by his play on the junior college team.

While some lesbians have come out at the height of their athletic careers, including five at the 2000 Summer Olympics, most gay male athletes have stayed firmly in the closet. Justin Fashanu, an English soccer player, and Ian Roberts, an Australian rugby star, are notable in that they declared their homosexuality while still active in team sports. A handful of male athletes in individual sports have come out while still active, including figure skating champions John Curry and Rudy Galindo, 2000 Olympic diver David Pichler, and six-time Olympic equestrian Robert Dover, but they remain very rare. "Some closeted gay male athletes realize that they have a lot to lose by 'coming out.' As long as they stay 'in the closet,' they can share the benefits of hegemonic masculinity," observe Michael A.

Chronicling the present, framed within a historical context of those that came before, this film highlights the experiences of athletes who have fought and struggled, both in and out of the closet, to represent the LGBT community and their true selves. This film is told through the voices of pioneers, present day heroes, tomorrow's superstars and the people who've helped them get to where they are including agents, managers, fans, team mates, coaches, organizations and members of the media. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – MALCOLM INGRAM I was sitting watching TV when the news broke that an openly gay football player was setting his sights on the NFL for the first time. I knew right away this was a game changer. While gay marriage has long been a main talking point in the fight for gay rights, I instantly recognized the significance of the possibility that a gay man was going to be teleported into millions of people's living rooms via the perceived virile world of football.

  • Analysis of Moneyball
    Nathan Goldman Analysis of Moneyball Introduction When Moneyball became available in theaters fall of 2011, the general public encountered initial beginnings of a cultural transformation within Baseball culture. The films $110.2 million dollar box office profit (IMdbPro) is a testament to Hollywood's entertaining touch of hyper exaggeration. Groundbreaking Events from the 2002 Oakland Athletics season are based on a true story, however cinema culture intensifies the ideologically dominant resistance facing Oaklands management. Baseball culture has historically had a consistent presence of systematically traditionalist values and expectations. Players are unofficially required to consent their on field presentation according to the sports value of visualized athleticism. Looking like a ballplayer is just as important as on field success. This structural emphasis on visualized athleticism unfortunately hinders an organization's financial efficiency. Evaluating individuals based on physical appearance causes professional baseball teams to overpay for players. According to an article on Fanduel Sports: “when players do hit free agency, they are often signing long-term deals that stretch well into their less-productive 30s. When players inevitably age, they are vastly overpaid to what they are actually worth.” (Jung, 2020) Moneyball justifies statistical data’s increasingly effective solution to maximize financial capabilities. InsteadTraditionalist talent scouts rely on a heterodoxy set of standards in the form of visually appealing generalities. Size, speed, personality, and even moral views often determine an athletes chances of benefiting the organization. As a result of this described cultural misconception, this essay will primarily focus on investigating the hegemonic traditionalism resisting Oaklands management present in Moneyball’s script.

The Bean family arranged the wedding, which was held in a mortuary in Santa Ana, California. Even before Billy Bean's birth on May 11, 1964, his paternal grandmother, Carmela Bean, a devout convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, denied his mother entry into her home because the young woman was not of her faith. When Bean's parents had been married for only about a year, his grandmother urged his father to undertake a two-year Mormon mission. He did so, leaving his wife to fend for herself and their child. The couple subsequently divorced, and Bean's father disappeared from his life. When Bean was six years old, his mother remarried, but the union lasted only a year.
