    UEFA EURO 2012™ in the Polish Sociopolitical Narration

    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.1515/pcssr-2015-0025 UEFA EURO 2012™ in the Polish Sociopolitical Narration Authors’ contribution: Tomasz Michaluk A-E, Krzysztof Pezdek A-E A) conception and design of the study University School of Physical Education in Wrocław, Poland B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT Sport constitutes an increasingly popular language of discourse in modern societies, providing a (formal) system of signs, which is easily used by, among others, businesses, media, public persons, and, particularly willingly, politicians. Thus, sport as a system of meanings can transfer any values, being at the same time a pragmatic way of arguing in the practice of social life. An example we analyze, are the events that took place after Poland (and Ukraine) had been chosen to be host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™, as well as those which took place during the tournament itself. In these analyses, we use the concept of semiotics and, in particular, pragmatism as well as Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic sign relation. KEYWORDS UEFA EURO 2012, sport, values, semiotics, Peirce Introduction In free and democratic Poland, member of the European Union since 2004, a tournament of the size and importance of the European Championship was organized for the first time in 2012. In April 2007, UEFA 1 chose Poland and Ukraine (non-EU member) as host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™. This measurably influenced a whole body of political, economic, and social processes that took place within the country. After five years of preparation, the tournament took place in June 2012 in sports facilities the majority of which were built or renovated especially for this purpose; and the final match was played in the stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, on 1 July 2012.
