Baird JA (2002) Playing it straight: an analysis of current legal protections to combat homophobia and sexual orientation discrimination in intercollegiate athletics. Berkeley Women’s Law Journal 17. University of California School of Law: 31. The worst thing would be doing what the other broadcasts did," Starkey said. "They wrote it off too soon." It's again, serendipity, a fluke, whatever you want to call it," Starkey said. "When he throws that ball over his shoulder, he is hoping and praying that maybe there's a Cal guy behind him that can catch this, but he can't possibly know that."

The officials kept talking, and the longer they talked, the sense of foreboding in my stomach swelled like a pan of Jiffy-Pop. If they had this much to discuss, that meant there might be a touchdown. I turned to my friend and said, "This isn't good." Communication is crucial on the football field for a team to succeed. However, if you are seen to be silent in a match, this isn’t a good look for you. It’s worth noting as well that simply making pointless noise will also reflect poorly on you as well. In” is the more general prepositional choice. We use it to talk about any type of employment that might be relevant to a person. Starkey, the eighth-year radio play-by-play voice for Cal, scrambled to find a highlight of what had happened in the final four seconds, a scene that would become known in sports lore simply as: The Play. It wasn't like, you think 40 years later, this was going to be such a momentous event," Diane said. "But people said to me later, who were out on the street, people were at intersections and nobody was moving, because they were listening to it on the radio."

Cunningham GB (2015) LGBT inclusive athletic departments as agents of social change. Journal of Intercollegiate Sport 8(1): 43–56. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1123/jis.2014-0131. Soon after the 1982 Big Game, people began calling KGO radio, asking for tapes of The Play. As sports director, Starkey realized he couldn't keep asking for copies to be sent out. Plus, since ABC owned the rights, there were legal hurdles to jump over before distributing. I called all the officials together and there were some pale faces. The penalty flags were against Stanford for coming onto the field. I say, 'did anybody blow a whistle?' They say 'no'. I say, 'were all the laterals legal'? 'Yes'. Then the line judge, Gordon Riese, says to me, 'Charlie, the guy scored on that.' And I said, 'What?' I had no idea the guy had scored. Actually when I heard that I was kind of relieved. I thought we really would have had a problem if they hadn't scored, because, by the rules, we could have awarded a touchdown [to Cal] for [Stanford] players coming onto the field. I didn't want to have to make that call. Furthermore, it will add to your value as it will mean that coaches won’t need to rely on a substitute for you as a member of the starting team. Meaning they can save precious substitutions for other players in the match.

Williams C (2007) Sexual orientation harassment and discrimination: Legal protection for student-athletes. Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport 17(2): 253–283. Why Israel Folau’s comments are harmful I've broadcast nearly 1,000 college and pro football games," Starkey said. "I've never seen anything that matches what happened at the end of that game." Deanne Fitzmaurice for ESPN Cal wide receivers Mariet Ford and Wes Howell made highlight-reel touchdown catches. Elway, whose Pro Football Hall of Fame career featured many clutch drives, converted a fourth-and-17 from Stanford's 13-yard line with less than a minute left.

While “work on the field” isn’t all that common, that doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. It works well, but it’s just a little too specific to see much usage. Still, these examples will share how it looks: I wasn't nervous at all when I stepped out to make the call; maybe I was too dumb. Gee, it seems like it was yesterday. Anyway, when I stepped out of the crowd, there was dead silence in the place. Then when I raised my arms, I thought I had started World War III. It was like an atomic bomb had gone off. In 1987, Starkey and Diane took their youngest son Rob, then 11, on a summer trip to Italy and Greece. The vacation ended in Rome at the Cavalieri Hilton hotel. On a blisteringly hot day, Starkey's wife and son decided to take a nap, so he grabbed a book and went down to the hotel pool. Even while shouting about Moen entering the end zone, Starkey had seen flags fly during the play and posed the essential question: "Will it count?" Would Cal's win -- and Starkey's incredible call -- be wiped away by a penalty on the Bears?

As a professional broadcaster, you're always supposed to paint the picture, especially in radio, and he's very studious about that," Jim said. "He knows the numbers, he's always very good about knowing both teams, and college teams have a lot of players. I think there are no names actually said in the [call].Lusted J (2017) Understanding the varied responses to calls for a ‘Rooney Rule’ in English Football.

Things were getting interesting, but a Cal touchdown? "I still didn't believe it," Starkey said. He continued to watch the ball, which Rodgers had pitched to Ford as the action shifted closer to Stanford's sideline. By this point, Starkey's color man and spotter had become irrelevant. Within the span of two years, Helen Jefferson Lenskyj produced two texts: Out on the Field: Gender, Sport and Sexualities (2003), and A Lot to Learn: Girls, Women and Education in the 20th Century (2005). On the surface, these texts have little to do with each other: one examines sport and the other examines education. However, the texts both share insightful commentaries on issues of gender and sexuality, Lenskyj's intolerance of liberal feminism, and an easily accessible style. of adult male VFL and Aussie Rules players reported they had used homophobic slurs with teammates in the past two weeks
