  • サマリー

  • Hello! Welcome to the Ivory Tower where we discuss Sport in Society and how it impacts us. With my background in academics, I will be approaching each conversation through a theoretical and research-related viewpoint. We will critically discuss sport within society and discuss thoughts, ideas, and current events through a unique lens.


    This podcast will also provide useful information for Sport Management students interested in learning the importance of their major in modern society.

    With academic research being regarded as an "Ivory Tower", the aim of this podcast is to bridge the gap between practicality and academia. Sport Management students are constantly having to justify what their major is and how it is important to society.

    I hope you enjoy the episodes!

    Please reach out if you any have any questions or inquiries.


    The "Ivory Tower" is a state of mind sometimes found in academics and intellectuals who become so wrapped up in their intelligence and their studies (their "Ivory Tower") that they become disconnected from the rest of the world.

    Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us for Episode 2, "International Fumble".

    Here are some key themes of the episode:

    1. Culture of Sport in Australia

    2. Current state of the punting position in Collegiate Football

    3. "Sense of belonging"

    4. Student vs Athlete debate

    5. Experiences with fan hate

    6. Globalization of Sport

  • Franchise Betrayal? The aftermath of Franchise Relocation in St. Louis

    Franchise Betrayal? The aftermath of Franchise Relocation in St. Louis
    2025/04/06

    Message me if you have any questions or inquiries!

    This episode will dive into the experiences of my father and I who were season ticket holding St. Louis Rams fans from 1998-2015.

    The St. Louis Rams relocated to LA in 2015 and decimated our psychological connection to football, and sport in general.

    Are you a fan curious about franchise relocation?

    Are you a practitioner wondering what franchise relocation does to your loyal fanbase?

    Are you a Sport Management student interested in the impact of Sport in Society?


    This podcast episode will (hopefully) answer all those questions!

    Thank you for listening.

  • Introduction: What is this Podcast about?

    Introduction: What is this Podcast about?
    2025/04/17

    Are you a current Sport Management student? This podcast will answer the dreaded question: "Oh... what do you want to do with that?" When discussing your choice to pursue Sport Management at family events.


    This podcast will discuss current and previous Sport Management research and how it relates to modern society. With academic research being regarded as an "Ivory Tower", the aim of this podcast is to bridge the gap between practicality and academia. Sport Management students are constantly having to justify what their major is and how it is important to society.

    With the goal of providing these outcomes:

    1. What is Sport Management research?

    2. Does Sport Management research make sense outside of the "Ivory Tower"?

    3. Context to Sport Management as a sufficient degree in modern society.

    4. Enhance your knowledge of Sport in general.
