Is the Nassar case generating enough media coverage, enticing more individuals to stand up against sexual abusers?? Let’s hope so!!! This strongly relates to the sport/media complex and the influence media has on sports. #TimesUp #471SportsComm

People are thinking the baseball game is getting too long... now they are limiting mound visits to only 6 per game... is this going to upset the romantics of the classic baseball game? #471SportsComm

March Madness is supposed to bring in about $850 million for NCAA yet the TOTAL value of scholarships for the players is less than $50 million. If the NCAA is making more than enough to fairly compensate the players that are bringing in the revenue, should they? #471SportsComm

Loyola of Chicago continues to be a bracket buster!! Personally, I think their fanship level with looking like Gryffindor wizards is pretty iconic. Keep an eye out for not only the players, but also the fans keeping it real. #471SportsComm

Out of the 130 or so stories on the front page of ESPN about 5 were women's coverage. 3 of those were at the bottom of the list. This validates the argument that men's sports coverage overpowers women's not only in clock-time or length of stories but amount too. #471SportsComm

Today in #471SportsComm we talked about reality TV vs. sports and also discussed fantasy sports and their popularity and why we view these different genres. I just think it's interesting how sports trickle into everything, I mean, The Bachelor even has a fantasy league.

Today in #471SportsComm we talked about image repair. FIFA is charging Russian soccer (RFU) for racism over monkey chants toward French players during a match. In my opinion this would require the RFU to need to do some image or damage repair.

A student with no femurs has committed to play for Baylor University. He is not letting his identity as a disabled player hinder his dreams of playing football in college. #471SportsComm

The ex-girlfriend of 49ers linebacker, Rueben Foster, just submitted a video supporting her statement that she lied when she said that he abused her. There will still be a domestic violence case against Foster, will this case cause Foster to foster image repair? #471SportsComm
