  • Twitter Usage by ESPN Fantasy Sport Columnists Brandon Doyle Ithaca College Mead Loop Associate Professor, Ithaca College
    Twitter Usage by ESPN Fantasy Sport Columnists Brandon Doyle Ithaca College Mead Loop Associate Professor, Ithaca College As a business, U.S. fantasy sports has grown into a $2 billion annual enterprise with 32 million players as of June 2011.1 Fantasy sports participants use such sources as microblogs, Internet, cell phones, television and print at much higher levels as a result of their participation. And how participants’ fantasy teams and players performed altered perceptions of their favorite teams.2 This reflects the Attitude-Behavior relation upon mere observance of fantasy sports. Fantasy sports has been defined as selecting players from sports to be on a team managed by a participant or fan in competition for points with other participants and fans.3 Fantasy sports has been identified as a top-10 area for sports-related media research.4 An executive vice president at ESPN listed fantasy players as the heaviest users of media across platforms, including the present study involving Twitter.5 User and Gratification Theory suggests that playing fantasy games reflects the diversion function of consuming media, as well as developing personal relationships with others and elevating personal identity. Three categories of participants have been identified: 1) Enthusiasts use gaming to expand their appreciation of the game; 2) socializers use gaming as a way to stay connected with friends; and 3) competitors use it for money or pride.6 Fantasy football participants, in particular, are more likely to attend at least one game per season and attend between .22 and .57 more games per season than non- players.

  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.)

Connecticut Law Review. 38. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/38 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 41 JULY 2009 NUMBER 5 Note FOURTH AND SHORT ON EQUALITY: THE DISPARATE IMPACT OF THE NFL’S USE OF THE WONDERLIC INTELLIGENCE TEST AND THE CASE FOR A FOOTBALL-SPECIFIC TEST CHRISTOPHER HATCH Prior to being selected in the NFL draft, a player must undergo a series of physical and mental evaluations, including the Wonderlic Intelligence Test. The twelve-minute test, which measures “cognitive ability,” has been shown to have a disparate impact on minorities in various employment situations. This Note contends that the NFL’s use of the Wonderlic also has a disparate impact because of its effect on a player’s draft status and ultimately his salary. The test cannot be justified by business necessity because there is no correlation between a player’s Wonderlic score and their on-field performance. As such, this Note calls for the creation of a football-specific intelligence test that would be less likely to have a disparate impact than the Wonderlic, while also being sufficiently job-related and more reliable in predicting a player’s success.

  • (Expert Ties Ex-Player\222S Suicide to Brain Damage
    Expert Ties Ex-Player’s Suicide to Brain Damage - New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/sports/football/18waters.html?ei=5... January 18, 2007 Expert Ties Ex-Player’s Suicide to Brain Damage By ALAN SCHWARZ Since the former National Football League player Andre Waters killed himself in November, an explanation for his suicide has remained a mystery. But after examining remains of Mr. Waters’s brain, a neuropathologist in Pittsburgh is claiming that Mr. Waters had sustained brain damage from playing football and he says that led to his depression and ultimate death. The neuropathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu of the University of Pittsburgh, a leading expert in forensic pathology, determined that Mr. Waters’s brain tissue had degenerated into that of an 85-year-old man with similar characteristics as those of early-stage Alzheimer’s victims. Dr. Omalu said he believed that the damage was either caused or drastically expedited by successive concussions Mr. Waters, 44, had sustained playing football. In a telephone interview, Dr. Omalu said that brain trauma “is the significant contributory factor” to Mr. Waters’s brain damage, “no matter how you look at it, distort it, bend it. It’s the significant forensic factor given the global scenario.” He added that although he planned further investigation, the depression that family members recalled Mr. Waters exhibiting in his final years was almost certainly exacerbated, if not caused, by the state of his brain — and that if he had lived, within 10 or 15 years “Andre Waters would have been fully incapacitated.” Dr.
