Language of sports

[Patti Kurtz]

I have a student doing a linguistics project on spots language-- where it
came from and/or how/why the terms are used by sports announcers (or
alternatively, how such terms have come into common use).  Can anyone send
me a good couple of reference son this topic so I can forward them to him?

Thanks.
