    Legislative Analysis LIQUOR LICENSE FOR PGA TOUR Phone: (517) 373-8080 http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT Analysis available at House Bill 5190 as introduced http://www.legislature.mi.gov Sponsor: Rep. Tim Sneller Committee: Regulatory Reform Complete to 2-6-17 SUMMARY: House Bill 5190 would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to include the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Tour Champions Tournament as a sports-related event of national prominence eligible to receive a national sporting event license that allows the sale of alcohol on the premises concerning a national sporting event. Eligibility for the license would be for Tour events in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The PGA Championship and Champions Tour is a men’s professional senior golf tournament affiliated with the PGA Tour. MCL 436.1517a BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Michigan Liquor Control Code allows special liquor licenses to be issued for the duration of national sporting events under certain circumstances, including if the national sporting event is conducted under the auspices of a national sanctioning body and the Liquor Control Commission determines that the event will attract a substantial number of tourists from outside the state. Past events have included the 2004 Ryder Cup, 2006 NFL Super Bowl, 2008 PGA Championship, 2009 NCAA Final Four, and the U.S. Golf Association Amateur Championship in 2016. In 2018, Michigan will host two PGA Tour Champions Tournament events: The Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship, May 24 to 26, in Benton Harbor, and The Ally Challenge, September 14 to 16, at the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc.

  • HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, and INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction
    HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, AND INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction of Dr. Peggy J. Kreshel) Around the world, sport is principally organized around masculinity. Women are often afforded limited access to sports participation, situated as “others” in a male-dominated domain. This gender inequality is mirrored in sports media; selective representations have a tremendous influence on people’s perception and understanding of sport, athletes, and society. In this study, I examined media representations of two Chinese female athletes of different status—specialized athlete, Ding Ning, and professional athlete, Li Na— in China, a nation in the midst of political/economic/cultural transformation and a sports reform initiative. Analyzing stories drawn from two Chinese web portals, I focused particularly on how gender, nationalism, and collectivism/individualism entered into media representations to determine if there were differences in the portrayals of these two female athletes. The portraits that emerged were very distinctive. A textual analysis revealed significant differences in each of the three conceptual areas. A fourth theme, which I have identified as “monetary value” also emerged. Possible explanations for and implications of differences in the media portrayals of the two athletes at this particular historical moment in Chinese society were provided.
