  • Implicit Religion and the Highly-Identified Sports Fan: an Ethnography of Cleveland Sports Fandom
    IMPLICIT RELIGION AND THE HIGHLY-IDENTIFIED SPORTS FAN: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CLEVELAND SPORTS FANDOM Edward T. Uszynski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2013 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. Kara Joyner Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Bruce Edwards Dr. Vikki Krane ii ABSTRACT Michael Butterworth, Advisor Scholarly writing on the conflation of “sport as a religion” regularly concentrates on the historical and institutional parallels with the religious dimensions of sport, focusing on ritual, community, sacred space, and other categories more traditionally associated with “religious” life. Instead, this study redirects focus toward the neo-religious nature of modern spirituality; that is, the fulfillment of Thomas Luckmann’s prediction that a significant aspect of modern spirituality would concern the need to construct a “self”the constantly shifting work of forming personal identity and enhancing self understanding. As such, internal commitments and intense devotion may perform as a de facto “invisible religion” in the lives of people. As popular culture provides useful texts toward satisfying this ongoing work, professional sports can act as a conduit of both personal and collective self understanding for “highly identified fans,” subsequently operating as an invisible religion within their lives. This study investigates the nature of fandom among a sample of Cleveland professional sports

  • Reverse Collusion
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLS\4-2\HLS106.txt unknown Seq: 1 29-AUG-13 10:55 Reverse Collusion Ryan M. Rodenberg and Justin M. Lovich† ABSTRACT In the sports industry, collusion has typically manifested itself on the team owner side of the equation, with numerous historical examples of manage- ment collectively moving to suppress player movement and/or salaries for pecuniary reasons. Such collusion is now prohibited in the league-union collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”) that govern all prominent North American team sports. However, the language in sports league CBAs is not always reciprocal. CBAs in the National Basketball Association (“NBA”) and National Football League do not expressly prohibit player-level “reverse collusion.” Using the recent decision (pun intended) of LeBron James and other basketball stars to create “super-teams” in the NBA through collec- tive action as an anecdotal example, we posit that the omission of reciprocal language in such CBAs has created loopholes that should be closed for com- petitive balance reasons and general considerations such as sports league in- tegrity and transparency.

  • Goal Tending: an Analysis of the Chris
    Chicago-Kent Entertainment Law Seminar Spring 2012 GOAL TENDING AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHRIS PAUL SAGA THROUGH THE LENS OF ANTITRUST LAW Jonathan Blakley Overview The National Basketball Association (“NBA”) has provided fans with countless breathtaking moments throughout its 62-year history. Indeed, given the widely-held view that the NBA showcases the finest athletes in the world, some would say this is expected. It is no difficult task for even the casual enthusiast to recall the plays he or she finds most iconic; a catalogue of remarkable shots, blocks, steals, and dunks is forever etched into our memories. On December 8th, 2011, however, fans of the NBA witnessed something truly unprecedented. It was not a timely jump shot or an acrobatic play, and it did not involve an underdog’s rise to stardom, or the recognition of a beloved veteran’s enduring passion and tireless efforts. In fact, what shocked NBA fans on that day did not take place on a basketball court. On December 8th, 2011, NBA Commissioner David Stern did the unthinkable: he prohibited the New Orleans Hornets (“Hornets”), Houston Rockets (“Rockets”), and Los Angeles Lakers (“Lakers”) from executing a three-team trade that sent the Hornets’ star player, Chris Paul, to the Lakers.1 To those with little knowledge of how professional sports leagues operate, this may hardly seem noteworthy. After all, NBA Commissioner is the highest executive position within 1 Howard Beck, NBA Rejects Trade Sending Paul to Lakers, New York Times, December 8, 2011.
