The number one crisis in sports going on right now would need to be the fact Michael Floyd has been accused of a DUI in Arizona, and it has led to some problems with his credibility of being an NFL star.
He was convicted of that DUI back in December and got 24 days in the slammer for his poor actions, which include being well above the alcohol limit. Others followed suit with similar crimes committed in the past and Floyd definitely isn't alone in the much-talked about debate about committing such wrong turns and crimes that could be costly for them in the future. They could ruin their image with even the smallest moves that could be ultimately detrimental.
This would mean this is an example of how an image would be destroyed thanks to something that is so wrong and misjudged that this would call for some kind of organizational image to become more repaired. Some of his fans would officially tune out of their commitment to the player because they would start thinking he is not the person that they would want to pull for. These fans can look for new players and teams they can pull for in case something like what the former Arizona Cardinal did a few months earlier happens.
This may force Floyd to go into differentiation, or better known as the scenario in which players begin to look for a way out of this by disconnecting from the event to a context that feels like an escape, it can be compared to the uses and gratifications theory that has been talked about earlier. He wants to escape this bitter reality. Of all of these things in the terms, this is the way to go because it correlates with the story more.
To agree with this, this theory deserves a lot of credit for describing how the term of apology can also come to place as they feel some remorse for doing the absolute wrong thing. Apologia will come in at a certain time when he expresses his sorrow for his mistake. I can see him making a remorse-filled apology like what Dak Prescott's for his similar incident before last spring's NFL draft.
I can definitely compare this to what has been talked about in the video when it comes to images becoming torn down like the Penn State fallout where Joe Paterno intentionally covered up for his colleague Jerry Sandusky and has started a path to placing a big asterisk next to that legacy they have created in the NCAA all-time wins leader-board for some of the most iconic college football coaches of all time.
A 2016 reading by Kenon A. Brown has discussed the whole point of apology after the criminal activity they may have committed to this. He argued that this apologizing may very well be the best way to analyze the perception of the image being repaired and it would be best to provide some evidence for this to be confirmed. If that happens, Floyd could return to his glory days as an NFL wide receiver, but this may become a little problematic as he could be released by the defending Super Bowl champions.
With that said and done, I believe that whatever unfolded with Floyd's DUI is something that could be done at an easier pace when it comes to theorizing the measurement of apologies being accepted and mistakes being forgiven at a great time.
What is Hot?

Week 7 - Constructing Parent-Coach Relationships, Is it That Important?
As this sports world keeps getting bigger, this week's topic takes a closer turn at this theory between players and coaches and their relationships in the sports they love.
In this week's article, which is about the importance of the coach and athletes getting along very well in the process, Tracy Donahue has written about how the sports world could become a shallow place without a need and the constructs are heavily used in this big theory, including the four discussed in this week's topic video.
Influences may have done some work in order to keep or shatter player-coach relationships. She was also talking about why research comes to a great time to examine people's behaviors to each other when they are playing sports with their motivators looking on and hopefully shaping their confidence up to be good.
For an example, an article about a player-coach relationship in the Meridian Star, calls for a fantastic structure at how positive this may look. They team up to make a difference in the league so their team can contend for a championship and get to know each other a little more. And that is the whole point of this article that an assistant coach named Matt Lum is acting as an extension to a player named Woodridge at West Lauderdale High School in the Mississippi area. This could be seen as a clear depiction of how closeness and co-orientation can lead to a great relationship on and off the atmosphere that they, both players and coaches, play and motivate in.
My supposed angle on this would need to be that this is certainly a fantastic way to talk about the constructs of relationships between the coaches and players alike. I am pretty sure that when Donahue was discussing about where this theory comes to play at the times of analyzing concepts to this idea, she was serious about the psychology part of sports. Regret messages will pressure the athlete to the point where they underwhelm and not perform as great as expected can relate to that. This can cause the relationship to go to pieces and they start losing as a result too.
When reading this article, I was very certain that coaches and players are easy to get along and see where they could go from the point where they can start bonding to seeing them scoring some achievements for their work. That brings a lot of people closer to the term that is called "Positive Coaching" which has elements of the cooperation and affiliation that makes teamwork much easier to achieve.
In any level of sport (High school/College/Pro), there have been some rumors about negative relationships that cause that team go south because of some conflict that goes on in some places that cause some teams to argue with their coach in the process. This could be a quick way to bring an abrupt end to a promising run and I can compare that to last week's topic about the end of one's career thanks to poor parenting.
And with all of that said and done, I agree with Tracy Donahue's theory discussing the importance of coach-athlete relationships in sports having so much chemistry thanks to some part in the psychology side of the world.

Week 6 - Are Parents, Both Moms and Dads, Poorly Influencing Kids in the Sports World?
Parenting in sports is a really common thing in today's world, and this is the following example of how this theory comes to play. And this would leave no doubt that something is going on with this parenting-in-sports idea.
Research says that there are seven different ways to poorly influence your children, with the surprising of something called "sports rage", which is defined to be a way to aggressively punish a referee or umpire. Also, parents are said to be responsible for having their emotions force their kids out of the fun they want to have when participating in an activity. This would be a turn-away for these children's commitment to sports fathers or mothers can possibly ruin.
These can be demonstrated from another angle of how kids handle things sports if things don't go their way.
For example, after the Patriots' dramatic Super Bowl win over the Falcons, things got a little more complicating than once presumed, as writer Jonathan V. Last wrote. His kid had a mix of mood swings and would have to face the cold and uncertain reality of fan dysfunction that continues to grow in today's society, all triggered by watching the Super Bowl. This would cause some parents turn their kids away from sports action with this article from 2015 being an example.
My current angle of this would need to be a great one when it comes to the commodification of parents becoming either supportive or not so supportive of their kids' playing sports and dreams of making it in the real world. It's because of the fact that this has become quite a controversial take on seeing if fathers or mothers can be a great influence for kids.
In my opinion, I would have to say that this would be a little bit accurate thanks to a lot of parents becoming very worthy of supporting their kids but losing their cool. And I am also very fascinated with the way the parents handle losing if their kid does not have the same capability has they once are proved to have in the past.
The article "Youth Parenting Parenting Styles and Practices" explores at many different practices that provide a big guideline towards the conversation that continues to raise some questions over the role of genders in the sports. One of those theories is something called responsiveness, which means that they are supportive to their kids' needs, but that would lead to many young kids turning away from sports because of the fact that this may be a little more than what they can handle. Some demanding parents, as being said, could be responsible for that as they fall into demandingness.
These types of parenting styles prove to be a key point in kids' decisions to keep playing sports or not, it mostly depends on how their parents want to behave when things don't go their way if their kids don't behave or the officials weren't doing their part to help them succeed to win.
I would agree to the fact that although parents approve of their children trying to have fun, they can ruin sports with one bad move that could haunt for a long time.
They can go a little too far by simply pushing kids out of sports because of some concerns and absolutely wrong actions, watching on TV or in person.

Week 5 - Headgear Ban No More?
Over the past several years, there has been some discussion about how racism and concerns over the role of ethnicity has played a key role in people's opinions about other athletes and their own beliefs in impressions of certain people. And that proves to be the case with this week's story.
However, after many years of refusing to accepting this section of controversy, the NBA has become very close to stopping a ban on religious headgear because of how the players want to express their own type of heritage, despite of some elements of islamophobia, or better known as a fear of Muslims. A somewhat big number of the players, including Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets, have declared themselves as Muslim/Islam and the league is officially looking closer to welcoming more religions as they progress.
Plus, the official declaration of what the meaning of "freedom of speech" set the tone for the demographic ethnic group to have a say in what their impression of the "freedom of religion" in which they decide to make America a great example of what a free country should look like as long as they have their own place in the world as a whole.
It has been said that hijabs and turbans are now likely to be welcome to be worn by any player or audience member that would attend any game in the premier basketball league, as long as a committee approves of this. However, even with the legalization of these headgear, there is still no escape for the harsh reality known as Trump's controversial ban on these Muslims thanks to many heavy concerns.
Many critics can argue that this would be a step in the wrong direction because of how politically correct these rules sound and they look to take a stand against this rule for any thing that they can speak for. The NBA has not let any of the guys show up in that stuff for 20 years until recently when it appeared they demanded a better say at what ethnicity they are trying to represent.
The term "stacking" may become the best angle at how people could be organized because of their own stereotypes/impressions of other people, with the headgear rules being great demonstrations of this.
As an example of this, author Nick Trujillo once wrote in his article of ethnicity for a long time now with an example being that stacking is a factor thanks to how unpacked it has become over the past several years thanks to all of the identity groups being supported by those things. That is a great example of sorting people through these things in my opinion.
He was talking about his own experience with the ethnicity part in that through his own experiences as an athlete. I think that all of this would be an example of how this week's commodification that the term "ethnography" has a good meaning of people's culture.
According to chapter six in the book, evidence has proof that there has been many certain ways the media can be very strict about different types of groups that have their own interests. Yet, I believe this is better known as the way to go in this week's discussion of racial groups.
This would call for the change in headgear policy to be made in the NBA and more welcoming of people of very different ethnic groups.
