  • 1 BEFORE the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant Vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAIN
    BEFORE THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 220527 OF THE TED STEVENS ACT I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act1 (the “Stevens Act”), the United States Olympic Committee (“USOC”) has recognized the United States Soccer Federation (“USSF” or the “Federation”) as the National Governing Body (“NGB”) for the sport of soccer in the United States. This Complaint is being filed because the USSF has become blinded to its fundamental obligation as an NGB to “develop interest and participation throughout the United States and be responsible to the persons and amateur sports organizations it represents.”2 Instead, because of the power, prestige, status and money flowing from the Federation’s alliance with Major League Soccer, a professional men’s league (the “MLS”), and its affiliate, Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”), the USSF’s paramount concern has become protecting and nurturing the MLS, even if at the expense of other stakeholders, including those involved in professional women’s and amateur soccer. 1 36 U.S.C. § 220501 et seq. 2 Id. § 220524(1). 1 2. Because of its institutional bias in favor of MLS and commercial partnership with SUM, the Federation now appears to believe that its effectiveness should be judged not by how well amateur, youth, women’s and non-MLS men’s professional soccer are doing, but how well MLS is performing and how much money the Federation’s partnership with SUM is generating. Some Federation officials believe they are doing a good job because the entry fee MLS charges new teams keeps increasing even though not a penny of that money goes to the Federation or its non-MLS stakeholders.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

  • 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.

  • USMNT Rumors: Bruce Arena Takes Over As Head Coach
    USMNT Rumors: Bruce Arena takes over as head coach Author : Robert D. Cobb The United States Soccer Federation made a major decision on Monday with the firing of manager and technical director Jurgen Klinsmann. The move follows a disastrous start to the final round of 2018 World Cup qualifying, with losses to Mexico and Costa Rica that have the Stars and Stripes at the bottom of the Hexagonal Round standings. Problems within Klinsmann’s reign went beyond simply the two recent defeats and the change was brewing over the past few years. According to multiple reports including Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl, Bruce Arena will be the next USMNT manager. His return as USMNT manager would bring the current LA Galaxy manager to familiar ground. A member of the US Soccer Hall of Fame, Arena brings vast experience and one of the most successful resumes in the domestic game. https://twitter.com/GrantWahl/status/800807812469321732 It will be interesting to see what US Soccer says in its press conference later on Tuesday about these rumors. Will he take over on an interim basis while US Soccer considers full-time candidates, or is he the guy through World Cup 2018? There are several positives to Bruce Arena being back with the Yanks once more no matter the duration. 4-4-2 One of Klinsmann’s most frustrating tendencies was to tinker and experiment with the US lineup too often. Without even taking into account roster choices, the formation and approach were a constant guessing game. Klinsmann’s decision to utilize a 3-5-2 in the recent qualifier against Mexico ultimately undermined the team’s performance.

MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER AS A CASE STUDY IN COMPLEXITY THEORY STEVEN A. BANK* ABSTRACT Major League Soccer has long been criticized for its “Byzantine” roster rules and regu- lations, rivaled only by the Internal Revenue Code in its complexity. Is this criticism fair? By delving into complexity theory and the unique nature of the league, this Article argues that the traditional complaints may not apply in the context of the league’s roster rules. Effectively, critics are applying the standard used to evaluate the legal complexity found in rules such as statutes and regulations when the standard used to evaluate contractual complexity is more appropriate. Major League Soccer’s system of roster rules is the product of a contractual and organizational arrangement among the investor-operators.
