A greek soccer team is swapping its main sponsor that appears on the front of their jersey from a public sports betting firm to UNICEF, which is an oragnization that helps underpriveleged kids around the world. Many sports organizations are getting active in the community and these are examples of social responsibility and taking an activist approach in globalization. People tend to admire sports team when they become active in the community and they may gain more of a fanbase just through that organizational culture and thei willingness to go above and beyond to serve the community and not just operate a sports club.

Brazil will attempt to sue FIFA, the world's governing body for soccer, for using Brazil's public funds to help temporarily renovtate stadiums that will be used for the World Cup. Conflict will always arise in business and this is no different, Brazil feels cheated out of money that could be used for other things while FIFA says that paying for the complimentary structures are the responsibility of the building owners. This is bad press especially with the games ariving this next summer, but at the same time you don't want outdated and possibly dangerous strcutures holding up the massive amounts of people there where a possible tragedy could happen.

American sports are always trying to promorte their sports. The NFL is a prime example of a sport that is trying to gain popularity in other countries . With this video portal called Dailymotion you can watch live streaming of certain games and and highlights from most games. Dailymotion will be used in Belgium, France, and Switzerland. By promoting the sport overseas in the future you could possibly host games in these countries if the fans love it enough. Also fans may be more inclined to travel to the states and see a game for themselves. The article relates to sport management by the NFL marketing to more then just the normal United States football fan. By reaching out to other countries they could become more valuable with support from other countries. ![]()

1. I learned that the UFC is a new company that was bought under new management in 2001. The UFC's main demographics are males ages 18-34, but females are also recongnized as a demographic, like in Brazil. I also learned that the sport has had multiple issues as being "too violent". 2. Information I found interesting was that in some countries women make up the majority of specators of the UFC. This is interesting to me because most people, including myself, would assume that women wouldnt care about two men fighting each other in a cage. Also, I found that people view the UFC as a top tier echelopn of global sports, such as the Yankees, the Red Sox, and Manchester United. 3. I selected this article becuase I have always been interested in the UFC. Not only becuase of the athletisism of the participants, but becuase of the controversy surrounding it. Also, a lot of my friends are really into the UFC, becuase I am in the demographics of the UFC, so I have always been around it and have heard my friends talking about it. 4. This information will help me in the sporting industry by showing me ways on how to expand a business or service to areas that have low specating statistics. They used the chief executive of the football club Manchester City to help promote the UFC in England, so it helps give examples on how to effectively expand a service not only overseas to certain countries, but to diffferent demographics as well.
![]() French clubs in the top two divisions will go on strike for four days in November in protest at 'super taxes'.

French Parliament plans to pass a "super tax" which will be a 75% tax on all those earing in excess of one million euros and many soccer clubs, who are in a union, plan to counter it by going on strike because the proposal would make the comapnies liable to pay it instead of the individuals. The right to unionize is very important in sport because it is such a unique field and the soccer clubs feel they shouldn't to pay the taxes for the wages they already gave out. From a marketing standpoint, this could have mixed views from a fanbase, some could see it as a worthy cause and others could gripe about the millions that they don't have.
