He stands stock still for a good five minutes, his ears pricked to the sound of camera shutters and the more distant call to morning prayer. Eventually Delgado coaxes California Chrome into a casual saunter within touching distance of the press pack, and then asks him to jog on round the bend under the glare from the vast Meydan grandstand.

    Scene on Radio Domination (MEN, Part 11) http://www.sceneonradio.org/episode-57-domination-men-part-11/ Jim Rome, The Jim Rome Show: Grandpa Joe, I mean, that guy’s the worst. He’s a bad guy, Joe. This guy lays in bed all day long in his pajamas, while his old lady’s working, like, she’s triple-shifting at the laundromat. And then the second the kid comes home with a Golden Ticket, he’s right out of bed. All of a sudden the old guy is like, hits his head on the ceiling getting out of bed. He’s dancing around, moonwalking. John Biewen: You may have guessed that’s a clip from talk radio. You may not have surmised it’s from a radio show devoted to sports. It’s a guy named Jim Rome, one of the nation’s most popular sports talk radio hosts. Not talking sports at the moment but instead going off on a fictional character from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Celeste Headlee: When guys talk on sports radio shows – and let’s face it, most of the hosts and callers on sports radio are men – they mostly talk about sports. Who’s gonna win the championship, which guy should the coach put in at quarterback. But far more interesting, for our purposes on this podcast, are the times when people on sports talk radio talk about how to be a man. As it turns out, they talk about that a lot. 1 John Biewen: Directly and indirectly, ironically and seriously, how to be an admirable guy in these complicated times.

  • An Analysis of National Football League Fandom and Its Promotion of Conservative Cultural Ideals About Race, Religion, and Gender
    AN ANALYSIS OF NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FANDOM AND ITS PROMOTION OF CONSERVATIVE CULTURAL IDEALS ABOUT RACE, RELIGION, AND GENDER Mackenzie Ryan A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Mackenzie Ryan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Ph.D, Advisor In this thesis I address three specific questions that relate to the current state of NFL fandom. To what extent do religion, race, and gender influence various aspects of NFL fandom? How do these issues reflect the dominant culture and major demographics of NFL fans (white and male)? Finally, what implications do my findings have for sports culture, fandom, and popular culture as a whole? To answer these questions, I provide three different case studies of NFL fan activities such as fantasy football, issues of gender, and religious and social ideals which show how NFL fandom reflects a very conservative view of race, gender, and religion that in particular mirrors and supports the conservative backlash that has occurred since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. For this thesis I examined NFL fan behavior and fan rhetoric on websites and blogs devoted to NFL fandom. In Chapter One, I focus on fantasy football, a popular activity among NFL fans. I examine the practices of fantasy football participants and how NFL players, particularly non-white players, are commodified by fans that play fantasy football. In Chapter Two, I analyze how women are portrayed by and situated within NFL fandom.

    FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2015 SHARED BELIEF SUCCUMBS TO COLIC Q & A: BILL NADER By Bill Finley Bill Nader is coming home. A former senior vice president and chief operating officer at the NYRA tracks, he left in 2007 to take the job as the executive director of racing for the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Recently, Nader announced that he would be leaving Hong Kong to return home. He says he will end his tenure with the HKJC in January and will likely return to the U.S. in February. The TDN sat down with Nader to find out why he is leaving Hong Kong and what he plans to do upon his return. TDN: After nine years working at what is widely viewed as one of the best racing operations in the world why did you now decided to leave and return to the U.S.?

  • Sean Mcmanus Chairman CBS Sports Sean Mcmanus Was Named
    Sean McManus Chairman CBS Sports Sean McManus was named Chairman, CBS Sports, in February 2011 overseeing all sports properties across all CBS Sports operations. He also serves as Executive Producer of THE NFL ON CBS. McManus served concurrently as President, CBS News and Sports for more than five years prior to being named Chairman. He was named President, CBS Sports, in November 1996 and President, CBS News, in October 2005 and is only the second person to hold both Division titles simultaneously; Roone Arledge held both at ABC from 1977-86. As president of CBS Sports, McManus led the CBS Corporation’s efforts in acquiring broadcast rights to the National Football League in January 1998, and in November 2004 with Leslie Moonves, re-negotiated the contract to retain the rights for CBS until 2011. In May 2009, McManus, again with Moonves, re-negotiated the NFL contract to retain the rights for CBS through the 2013-14 season and included CBS broadcasting Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans in 2013. And in December 2011, McManus, with Moonves, re-negotiated a nine-year deal to retain the NFL broadcast rights through the 2022 season. In February 2014, McManus, with Moonves, negotiated the rights for the NFL’s new Thursday Night Football package for the 2014 season. And in January 2015, he, with Moonves, again successfully negotiated a deal to continue the partnership for 2015. In February 2013, McManus oversaw unprecedented Super Bowl coverage when the Network established CBS SUPER BOWL PARK at Jackson Square as New Orleans’ home to 15 different shows from nine CBS divisions across multiple platforms including broadcast, cable and premium television, radio and digital all week long leading up to exclusive game coverage of Super Bowl XLVII.

The music promotion industries of radio and concerts were significantly consolidated over the last dec- ade.' In 2000, the industries wed when Clear Channel, the dominant parent company in radio consolidation, purchased SFX, the largest concert promoter conglomerate.2 Today, a few large corporations control most commercial radio and concert promotion firms. Concentration in these industries, however, is not just about what songs you hear on the radio and what con- certs come to your town.
