  • 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.

  • The Inequities the United States Women's National Team Faces
    Pierce 1 Delaney Pierce Advanced Composition Dr. O’Donnell 25 April 2016 Talent Over Gender: The Inequities the United States Women’s National Team Faces The inequities that the women’s national team face compared to the men’s national team range from the huge pay gap to the playing surfaces and further on to broadcasting shortcomings. The 23 women on the USWNT and their coaches celebrating their World Cup victory in 2015 in Canada. The first Sunday of my 2016 Spring Break, I travelled from Knoxville, Tennessee to Nashville, Tennessee to see the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) play against France in the SheBelieves Cup. The game was played in the Tennessee Titan’s arena, Nissan Stadium. There were over 25,000 fans there to cheer on the USWNT, which broke the record for attendance at a U.S. Soccer event in the state of Tennessee. The stands were filled with fans chanting, banners, and flags waving in favor of a United States win. Pierce 2 The women’s national team has been popular the United States since their first game in 1985, but coming off a 2015 World Cup win in Canada the team’s popularity is soaring with old and new fans supporting them. After their World Cup victory, the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) held a parade for the team in New York City and set up a ten game victory tour around the country that featured ten different cities. The tour lasted five months in 2015 – August through December. Following this victory tour, the women’s national team held the SheBelieves Cup on their home soil.

    Welcome to the Congress To our Member Associations’ Presidents, Delegates and Guests, We begin this welcome letter for our 34th Concacaf Ordinary Congress with a great sense of pride about Concacaf. As we look back on last year — in fact, the last three years since our administration took office — it is remarkable how much our organization has accomplished on our journey to move football forward throughout the region. We are ONE family that works within a culture defined by a love for our game, with ONE mutual goal of becoming champions, on and off the field. Guided by our brand pillars of Unity, Football, Quality and Access, we continue to make excellent progress in the execution of our regional strategy. As a result, we are happy to report on another record year for our Confederation. First, from a competition standpoint, we have seen the introduction and expansion of tournaments aimed at raising the quality of Concacaf’s football, while creating more access to all of the game’s stakeholders. • There is tremendous pride in the launch of the Concacaf Nations League. When we see the results and emotions from our federation’s presidents, coaches, players, fans and the media, we can already perceive how our joint efforts are generating benefits of increased competition and development for the Confederation as a whole. • The expansion of the Concacaf Gold Cup, from 12 to 16 nations, is another signature achievement. More importantly, for the first time in the 15 editions of the competition, we are bringing our top national team championship to a Caribbean and Central American pitch.
