  • Are NBA Fans Becoming Indifferent to Race? Evidence from the 1990S
    10.1177/1527002503262641Burdekin et al. / NBA FANS INDIFFERENTJOURNAL OF SPOR TO RATSCE? ECONOMICS / May 2005 ARTICLE Are NBA Fans Becoming Indifferent to Race? Evidence From the 1990s RICHARD C. K. BURDEKIN Claremont McKenna College RICHARD T. HOSSFELD Duke University School of Law JANET KIHOLM SMITH Claremont McKenna College Previous work found the racial composition of NBA teams to be positively correlated with the racial composition of their metropolitan markets in the 1980s. We find continued evi- dence of this relationship during the 1990s, with accompanying revenue gains from the inclusion of White players on teams located in whiter areas. And, as the number of White players declined significantly throughout the decade, the revenue product of a White player actually increased on the margin. The tendency for top-performing White players in the NBA to locate in cities with larger White populations also is consistent with their higher marginal value in such locations. Keywords: customer discrimination; race; sports; National Basketball Association Applied to professional sports, Becker’s (1971) concept of racial discrimination by customers is embodied by fan preference for watching players of their own race. The customer-discrimination hypothesis implies that teams lose revenue and prof- its when they adopt color-neutral hiring practices. Accordingly, unlike discrimina- tion by employers and by fellow workers, discrimination by customers is unlikely to disappear even in the long run (Nardinelli & Simon, 1990). Although discrimina- tion by customers generally cannot be disentangled from other influences on hiring AUTHORS’NOTE: The authors thank Heather Antecol, David Berri, Bill Brown, Eric Helland, Harold Mulherin, Mark Partridge, Jennifer Ward-Batts, Marc Weidenmier,Richard Smith, Tom Willett, and two anonymous referees for helpful discussion and comments.

    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

  • The Cleveland Barons' NHL Existence Was a Short and Spectacular Disaster
    The Cleveland Barons' NHL Existence Was A Short And Spectacular Disaster Vince Guerrieri 5/23/18 11:34AM Bob Whidden got the bad news first. On June 14, 1978, Whidden was in Montreal representing the Cleveland Barons at the NHL owners’ meetings. Whidden had come to Cleveland to play for the Crusaders, a World Hockey Association team, and after they left, took a job in media relations with the Barons, the NHL franchise that had moved from the Bay Area just two years earlier. It had been tempestuous, with changes in ownership, missed payroll, and losing—lots of losing—but Whidden was still unprepared for the news. “They wanted me outside the door to send news back to Cleveland,” he told me in a 2016 interview. “I figured there was going to be a trade. I sat there for a couple hours and they came out and said they’d engineered a merger.” The Barons were being folded into the Minnesota North Stars, and a dispersal draft was scheduled the following day. It remains the last time a team in any of the big four North American leagues was blinked out of existence. “You could have knocked me over with a feather,” Whidden said. “I think I went to the bathroom and threw up.” When the California Golden Seals, beset by financial problems and unable to get a new arena in San Francisco, had announced their move to Cleveland in 1976, it had seemed like a no-brainer. Cleveland had a passionate sports fanbase and had supported hockey in one form or another for the previous 40 years.
