After I read the article of Soccer’s Corrupt Soul, I think that I learn more about FIFA. FIFA is not belong to any country or region and don’t bond by any state law. FIFA build the rule of the game, no one can interfere with their decision. Anywhere in the world, as long as there is no supervision power, it will inevitably lead to corruption. I think that is an irrefutable way.
America and many other countries enjoy the sport of football. Fans worldwide watch and follow NFL games and all the problems that occur during games, by players, coaches, team, even fans. All fans want to see the players, coaches, and teams, be punished fairly for something they do on or off the field. But, it was noticed that the certain punishments being dealt, were extremely unfairs and are unjustified. As time went on it was noticed even more that, these unfair and unjustified punishments began to become too much for the players, coaches, team, and fans to have to see and hear about.
In the summer of 2015, scandalous reports rocked the soccer world rocked with reports of corruption and bribery at the top levels of one of the world's premier soccer associations: FIFA. Fourteen current and past FIFA officials were indicted for “rampant, systemic, and deep rooted”(BBC) corruption. The betrayal of the players and fans however, ultimately had drastic consequences, with the Fourteen men pleading guilty to “racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy and three counts of money laundering conspiracy” (BBC). For those fourteen FIFA officials, they thought they were lining their pockets, but in fact all they did was line the walls of jail cells, reputations and careers smeared forever.
The things that I perceive to be ethical issues in other areas of the business of sports are: 1. The marketing strategy (bribing) in sports. 2. Students paying tuition to join teams or paying money to buy equipment/clothes to be able to play for the team. 3.
The earliest recordings of a ball-and-foot game date back all the way to 2,500 B.C. The game became popular in England and surrounding nations in the Middle Ages, “By the end of the 14th Century, the game has become deeply embedded in the English culture” (Football Bible). The English league arose in 1863, and many other countries developed their own leagues
Different types of football can be distinguished ever, regularly as prevalent worker recreations. Contemporary codes of football can be followed back to the codification of these diversions at English state funded schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.[3][4] The span of the British Empire permitted these guidelines of football to spread to ranges of British impact outside of the straightforwardly controlled Empire,[5] however before the end of the nineteenth century, unmistakable territorial codes were at that point creating: Gaelic football, for instance, intentionally joined the standards of neighborhood customary football games with a specific end goal to keep up their heritage.[6] In 1888, The Football League was established
Penalties of Avarice It is said that history repeats itself, yet we never learn from it. The tale of greed getting the best of us is one we are all aware of in modern times. People believe more is better, but more always comes with difficulties that cause harm either to us or others. Greed is a trait that all humans share; unfortunately, sometimes we let it take control, and it destroys us. Sepp Blatter, a Swiss sports executive, was a victim of this greed; he performed violations in favor of his own wealth, which would later lead to career ending accusations.
American football originated from the sport, rugby, in Great Britain. Rugby was played with a spherical ball and did not allow players to run with it. Football was introduced to the United States around the 1860’s. At this time, the sport was not as popular in the United States and was played occasionally. In 1870, a football convention was held at the Rossin House Hotel in New York (Collins 4).
The sun illuminates countless all-American names, with the occasional Coke or Papa John’s sponsor signs. The play clock ticks down to zero, and the stadium is finally filled to maximum capacity. Kickoff commences, players scramble across the field, and suddenly the only problems in the world hinge on if the Nike plastered football is past the downs marker. There are the elite suites high above the stadium cloaked in shade, but the majority are cramped and blisteringly hot. We are all united as one, cheering our team to victory, and thriving on the culture that is modern day sports.
Ethically, people in the position to make decisions in Nike should bejust, not biased, state of being equal and be thoughtful of the right of the individuals and their workers. Nike faced ethical dilemma within the company, this ethical dilemma means a moral problem with choice of two or more options. It occurs in their business when they have to take a decision to make weighs values and morals against profitability and also when identified solution is very undesirable because of harmful ethical effect. Though right and wrong is not stated in the situation but let’s look into the ethical challenges faced by the company business.
In conclusion, ethics in sport adversely affects a sport managers career. Some prominent ethical issues that sport management professionals deal with in the 21st century include discrimination, athletes in the public eye and drug use. The treatment of every individual should be appropriate. Their race and gender should not be a factor in the determination of a role on a specific team. Also, athletes must uphold a professional reputation, in and away from their respective sport.
Ethical issues in sports Sports in today’s world have gained a lot of importance and there have been a lot of additions to sports in the form of new rules, policies the way it is meant to be played etc. Though many stringent laws are framed, implemented and monitored there are always some sort of issues in the way the sports activities are carried out. Regardless of the level of participation some of the players resort to unethical ways of winning the event. The attitude towards the sportsmanship has changed significantly over the years.
Ever since the late 1900s, advance on TV, satellites, communication network among global football clubs, and the transfer market led to a boom of transfer of foreign football players to the English Premier League. From the fact that 69% of the player playing in the English Premier League are non-British football players, it is easy to see ho global English football has become. This is globalization of football, which is the main topic of this paper. Based on McGovern’s definition, globalization in football is players from all around the world forming a team of unity. (25)
Sometimes it is not just football. It is a combination of football and violence. Especially, English hooligans caused the death of thirty-eight people, most of them Juventus supporters occurred on 29 May 1985. In addition to this, some of Juventus fans died because the wall collapsed with the result in panic and a chaotic atmosphere. So these examples show that English Hooligans, who acted very cruelly at the Heysel Stadium make a bad impression for football.
Since the 1990s, the growing importance of sport, its impact as a global business and the huge amounts of money involved in the staging of events such as the Olympic Games and football World Cups, has also attracted the attention of investigative journalists. The
