Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

  • U12 Boys Generation Adidas Cup Atlanta, Georgia November 29 – December 1, 2019
    U12 Boys Generation Adidas Cup Atlanta, Georgia November 29 – December 1, 2019 Day 1 The Whitecaps Academy Centre team composing of 9 players from the Alberta Whitecaps Academy Centre network and 1 player from the Saskatchewan Academy Centre network arrived in Georgia, Atlanta to compete at the U12 MLS Generation Adidas Cup competition. The team were placed in the MLS Affiliate division in a group consisting of Minnesota United, Houston Dynamo and DC United. The boys opened up their tournament with games against Minnesota United and Houston Dynamo. Both teams proved to be excellent opposition for the boys but they held their own and scored a couple of goals through Osagie Aihobaku and Milan Patik. Osagie scored an excellent individual goal while Milan Patik finished off a clever team move. The games were played at a tempo and intensity that challenged the boys in all pillars of the game. Day 2 The boys had an early start for the first of three games. They played against DC United and got their reward for some excellent work out of possession through a goal from Dominic Joseph. DC United came back though in the second half and deservedly scored a couple of goals. Whitecaps then played against Boise Timbers in the play offs and despite not playing particularly well in this game, the boys managed to grind out a win on penalty kicks after a tie. Osagie scoring another skillful goal in this game. The team then saved their best performance for the semi-final against New York Red Bulls. Matching their skillful opponents, the game swung to and fro with chances at either end.

  • The Impact of Designated Players in Major League Soccer
    Superstar Salaries and Soccer Success: The Impact of Designated Players in Major League Soccer Dennis Coates Department of Economics University of Maryland, Baltimore County Bernd Frick Department of Management University of Paderborn Todd Jewell Department of Economics University of North Texas December 2012 Abstract This study estimates the relationship between production and salary structure in Major League Soccer (MLS), the highest level of professional soccer (association football) in North America. Soccer production, measured as league-points-per- game, is modeled as a function of a team’s total wage bill, the distribution of the team’s wage bill, and goals per game. Both the gini coefficient and the coefficient of variation are utilized to measure salary inequality. The results indicate that production in MLS is negatively responsive to increases in the salary inequality; this effect is consistently significant when using the coefficient of variation to measure dispersion. 1 I. Introduction Economic theory indicates that the distribution of salaries can affect the productivity of workers and firms. In the theory of tournaments, Lazear and Rosen (1981) discuss the possibility that greater salary inequality can lead to more worker effort and increased productivity. However, cohesion theory (Levine, 1991) implies firms may be able to increase the productivity of workers by equalizing salaries, since a more equal salary distribution will increase unity within the firm. The implication is that firms with more equal salary distributions will be more productive than similar firms with less equal salary structures. The present study attempts to shed light on the question of the connection between salary structure and productivity using professional sports data.
