Book Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football

Download or read book Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football written by Peter Kennedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As football clubs have become luxury investments, their decisions increasingly mirror those of any other business organisation. Football supporters have been encouraged to express their club loyalty by ‘thinking business’ - acting as consumers and generating money deemed necessary for their clubs to compete at the highest levels. In critical studies, supporters have been portrayed as passive or reluctant consumers who, imprisoned by enduring club loyalties, embody a fatalistic attitude to their own exploitation. As this book aims to show, however, such expressions of loyalty are far from hegemonic and often interface haphazardly with traditional ideas about what constitutes the ‘loyal fan’. While there is little doubt that professional football is experiencing commodification, the reality is that football clubs are not simply businesses, nor can they ever aspire to be organisations driven solely by expanding or protecting economic value. Rather, clubs hover uncertainly between being businesses and community assets. Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football explores the implications of this uncertainty for understanding supporter resistance to, and compromise with, commodification. Every club and its supporters exist in their own unique national and local contexts. In this respect, this book offers a Euro-wide comparison of supporter reactions to commercialisation and provides unique insight into how football supporters actively mediate regional, local and national contexts, as they intersect with the universalistic presumptions of commerce. This book was previously published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.

Book Football and Its Future

Download or read book Football and Its Future written by Francesco Manfredi and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football is universal in the values that it protects and proposes, and in its capacity to produce social and economic value, the economic value coming from the professional domain and the social value from the amateur domain. The former is the domain of stars, big events, new stories, victories and outstanding feats of athleticism; the second is the less visible side of the whole movement, the domain of spontaneity, fun and participants of all ages and abilities being together regardless of race, religion, language or the chances of victory or great athletic feats. This book, the result of much study and contemplation on football management, embraces all of these themes, starting with the acknowledgement of the diversity ot these two domains and at the same time of their inseparability.
