Professor Crawford in the French Media


While in France, Dr. Crawford had the chance, thanks to the help of Jean-Marc Burtscher, to appear in the media.   He did two interviews on Radiossa, a French internet radio program devoted to American football on Monday May 7th  and again on the 14th.  The first time focused on his research and impressions of the first game, Red Star versus the Kiowa, that he watched on May 6th.  The second interview covered Crawford's impressions of an elite division game between the Flash of Corneuve and the Spartiates of Amiens, that he watched the Saturday before the final interview.  They were also interested in hearing Crawford's analysis of refereeing, concussions, and the difference between the American and French football cultures.  If you are interested in improving your French, or listening to Crawford's English answers, you  can click on the links above to hear the broadcasts.

Crawford was also interviewed by Stephanie Caporal, who is doing a documentary on American football in France.  She interviewed him about his background in football, his research, and the cultural differences.  Stephanie and her husband Matthieu plan to make an online documentary to be finished at an indefinite date in the future.

Crawford also was interviewed for the Elitefoot blog about his research.  That can be found here.  If you use Google Chrome, it will translate for you.
