  • Marketing of Professional Women's Soccer in the United States
    MARKETING OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FEMINIST THEORIES by CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON (Under the Direction of James J. Zhang) ABSTRACT Despite the success of the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), two women’s soccer leagues have quickly failed in the U.S. This doctoral dissertation examines the past and present of the marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States emphasizing feminist themes to fulfill three objectives: (a) to critically examine the history of the marketing of women’s soccer in the United States to identify and gain a better comprehension of changes in theory and practice of marketing in women’s soccer in the U.S. over time; (b) to identify and explain the use of three feminist themes in the marketing of women’s soccer, specifically in the NWSL; and (c) to analyze the impact of these three feminist themes on the related marketing strategies used within in the NWSL in an effort to build a framework while also developing recommendations for marketing practitioners for the promotion and marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States. The historical analysis segment revealed that the failure of the first two professional women’s soccer leagues in the United States were largely a result of poor resource allocation and an inability to connect with and retain fans, the media, and sponsors. The Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) burned through capital at an unsustainable rate and was unable to maintain the excitement of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, leading to microscopic television ratings and perennially falling attendance.

  • Fox Sports Exclusive: Abby Wambach Addresses Controversial Comments Made Regarding Referee
    FOX SPORTS EXCLUSIVE: ABBY WAMBACH ADDRESSES CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS MADE REGARDING REFEREE U.S. star Abby Wambach exclusively spoke with FOX Sports USWNT Insider Jenny Taft and addressed the comments she made last night regarding the yellow cards given to teammates Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe: “I was asked about my opinion – whether those yellow cards were just. And, for me, I’m not in the referee’s head, and that’s something I definitely take ownership of and apologize for, because I don’t know what the referee is thinking. She is doing the very best job she can; so are the players. We’re all trying to do our very best, and that’s what I feel bad about because I think that’s what was taken a little bit wrong in what I said, because I don’t know what she was thinking, and nobody can. She’s doing the best she can, and for me, I have the utmost respect for all the referees who are refereeing these games and all the players because this is such a big event. In no way did I intend to offend her – and my biggest apologies if it was offensive in any way.” FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas reacted to Wambach’s apology: “We saw a player who realized she screwed up, or she was told she screwed up, and needed to rectify it. I’m glad that she did, but I love the fact that Abby Wambach talks. I love this volley that seems to go back and forth on everything.

  • FS1 Offers Extensive Coverage of Soccer Legend Abby Wambach's Final Professional Match
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, Dec.14, 2015 FS1 OFFERS EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF SOCCER LEGEND ABBY WAMBACH’S FINAL PROFESSIONAL MATCH Special One-Hour Pregame Show Precedes Icon’s Dec. 16 Finale Los Angeles – FOX Sports pulls out all the stops for the final farewell in the legendary 15-year career of U.S. Women’s National Team superstar Abby Wambach, as the team she led to two Olympic Gold medals and the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup title faces China at the Mercedes- Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Wednesday, Dec. 16 on FS1. A special one-hour pregame show at 7:30 PM ET precedes the international friendly, which kicks off at 8:30 PM ET. The U.S.- China game is a rematch of the 2015 Women’s World Cup quarterfinal in June, which the Americans won, 1-0, on a Carli Lloyd goal. The world’s all-time leading goal-scorer – male or female – with 184 in 252 international matches, Wambach takes the field as a professional for the last time, as the USWNT wraps up its Women’s World Cup victory tour. Play-by-play announcer JP Dellacamera, analyst Cat Whitehill and reporter Jenny Taft call the momentous occasion, all of whom have covered over a dozen U.S. women’s matches this year for FOX Sports, including the squad’s incredible run to the World Cup final, the most-watched soccer match in American history. Retired USWNT defender Heather Mitts, longtime teammate of Wambach at both the University of Florida and the national team, also contributes to pregame and game commentary on-site in New Orleans, with both Wambach and head coach Jill Ellis scheduled to join the FOX Sports’ set on the field.
