  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

  • The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: the Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler
    FSAS_A_243975 .fm Page 578 Thursday, July 12, 2007 9 :38 PM • Soccer and Society Routledge Vol. 8, No . 4, Month 2007, pp. 578-600 R Taylor 6 Franco Group The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: The Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler Without doubt, football is omnipresent in the Portuguese public (and private) sphere. Some speak about the footballizaton of Portuguese society', and criticize the hegemony of football in Portuguese culture, along with it the close (and sometimes dangerous) connec- tions between football and politics . What is so interesting about this phenomenon is that it is juxtaposed with other facts, such as stadium attendance being surprisingly low. The essay brings to the forefront the particularities of the Portuguese football social formation case by taking these two current realities as a point of departure . In analysing stadium attendance over three decades against specific historical backgrounds, the authors present six different factors which explain the paradox and come to the conclusion that both realities are not contradictory – but partly determining each other. Someone was saying yesterday that Norway is the top-ranking country in human development; ( .. .) that it's a fantastic country and so on and so on ( .. .) But here's back at them . Portugal is at the top of its group and all it needs is a draw to qualify 30 for the World Cup while Norway is five points behind the leader of its group! ( .. .) Ha ha ha! [ l ] Introduction Although Portuguese football is reasonably well-known to international football fans, at least since Benfica and the national team of Eusebio & Co ., the general idea abroad that Portugal is a `football country' is much more recent (Euro 2004).

  • Club Licensing Benchmarking Report Financial Year 2016
    The European Club Footballing Landscape Club Licensing Benchmarking Report Financial Year 2016 2 Club Licensing Benchmarking Report: Financial Year 2016 Foreword Welcome to the ninth edition of the UEFA Club Licensing Benchmarking Report, which once again focuses on financial and other off-the-pitch developments in European club football. In this latest edition of our report, the success story of European football stands out once more. It shows that UEFA’s regulatory role in financial fair play continues to steady the ship of European football finances and provide a basis for unprecedented growth, investment and profitability. It also demonstrates that while the game remains essentially the same on the pitch, it continues to change significantly off the pitch, making it essential that we at UEFA and our other stakeholders continue to remain vigilant and true to our values. This detailed report shows that the positive revenue, investment and profitability trends identified in last year’s report are continuing. The underlying health of European club football is highlighted, with the 700 top-division clubs together generating the highest operating profits before transfers in history and year-on-year revenue growth of almost 10%. Clubs are generating revenue but they are also investing in assets and infrastructure, thanks in part to UEFA’s financial fair play regulations. For the first time, club investments in stadiums and other long-term fixed assets exceeded €1bn in 2016. It is therefore perhaps not surprising that an increasing number of national associations and leagues, both inside and outside Europe, are starting to implement their own versions of financial fair play.

International Journal of the History of Sport, 31(1-2), 120-133. doi:10.1080/09523367.2013.842557 10.1080/09523367.2013.842557 Taylor & Francis Accepted Manuscript http://cdss.library.oregonstate.edu/sa-termsofuse Michael Oriard, “Chronicle of a (Football) Death Foretold: The Imminent Demise of a National Pastime?” The International Journal of the History of Sport, 31(1-2), 120-133. Football today, most conspicuously at the professional level (National Football League) is the economic and cultural colossus of American spectator sports. To speak of its “life cycle,” then, would seem nonsensical: although it has a clear “birth,” to speak of its “death” might seem ridiculously premature. Yet recent developments make imagining such a death possible. This essay will explore two current controversies—over “athletes’ rights” at the collegiate level and the dangers of traumatic head injury at all levels—that have the potential to destroy American football at least in the form we know it today. And it will trace the factors behind those controversies—the insistent and persistent “amateurism” of American college athletes and the fundamental violence of the game itself—back to their origins. What might end American football as we know it was present in the game from nearly the beginning. To speak of the “life cycle” of American football would seem premature. While the American version of the world’s game has a distinct birth—a contest between Princeton and Rutgers on November 6, 1869—it conspicuously continues to thrive.
