AWARDS on Page 2A Republicans worry about Kavanaugh political cost ❏ Inability to fill court’s vacancy could hurt party in the midterm races. By Anita Kumar MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON — Republicans are mov- ing quickly to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. If they don’t, they worry that disappointed GOP voters will stay home on Election Day after watching the party that controls the White House and Congress fail to accomplish one of its most important tasks.

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.
