  • PTI and the Sport Ethic
    Brian P. Moritz PTI and The Sport Ethic In 1991, Robert Hughes and Jay Coakley first defined a key concept in the study of the sociology of sport. After reading numerous books about sports stars and talking with coaches and athletes, the two defined four traits of what they call The Sport Ethic. These are the four principles they found that elite athletes adhere to and define themselves by. They also found that this ethic was a leading cause in what they call “deviant overconformity” among athletes, that can lead to long-term health problems, the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and other negative behaviors. While the notion of deviant overconformity has been widely studied by sports sociologists, The Sport Ethic itself has not been the focus of much research. And there has been little in-depth research into the role sports media plays in the establishment of The Sport Ethic. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine how the mainstream sports media helps promote and perpetuate The Sport Ethic. Specifically, it will use a qualitative content analysis on a constructed week of Pardon the Interruption (PTI), a talk show on ESPN, to see how the construct of The Sport Ethic is reflected in the stories discussed and how they are discussed. PTI is a daily talk show that airs on ESPN, the all-sports cable network. Hosted by Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, longtime friends and sports journalists, the show features the two arguing about the top sports stories of the day. As one of the most popular shows on ESPN , the primary outlet for television sports news in the United States, and one that is hosted by two veteran sportswriters who formerly worked for one of the country’s main newspapers, PTI can be considered an accurate reflection of mainstream sports news and mainstream sports media culture.

Most significantly, our fourth quarter was very strong, with more than double the earnings of Q4 in 2002, underscoring our confidence in generating growth in the new year. Equally important, we delivered free cash flow for the year that was up more than 50 percent over last year and continued to bolster our balance sheet.

  • Sports Television and the Culture of Personalities
    Sports Television and the Culture of Personalities Robert Cavanagh, Emerson College - Los Angeles Professional sports television personalities perform a range of specialized discursive functions. Their appearances are defined by a variety of significant and overlapping distinctions: between athlete-celebrities and media industry professionals, between local and national sports television personalities, between play-by-play, color commentators, studio-show hosts vs analysts and league “insiders,” and between quasi-journalistic professionals who work and have worked exclusively in media industries and the current and former athletes and coaches who appear alongside them. I’m going to concentrate on this last distinction and on sports punditry because I think it clearly st manifests the significant changes that are shaping 21 ​ century sports media, particularly ​ the pressure on the myth of sports as a neutral and apolitical field. While there remain significant differences between the discourse and performative functions of coaches, athletes and “sports reporters,” trends in the cable sports television industry along with the rise of social and digital media have blurred these boundaries. Reporters have st always shared with athletes the responsibility for hyping spectacles, but 21 ​ century ​ athletes contribute more than ever to a broader and more diverse discourse on sport. As it is has become part of the job of the TV sports reporter to repeat their takes on Twitter, podcasts, and radio, it has become more difficult to separate their commentary from the current and former athletes and coaches who share those spaces. A key moment in the expansion of sports punditry was the turn to relevance in 1970s television and the relationship between Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali.
