Who Owns Football?
The commercialization of sport since the 1990s has had a number of consequences. The market forces that have defined commercialization, notably pay-per-view television, whilst initially welcomed as important new sources of revenue, have also had the unanticipated consequences of de-stabilizing many sporting competitions and institutions, undermining the financial future of clubs in their traditional role as key social and cultural institutions. This has been manifested in the paradox of chronic financial loss-making amongst professional sports’ clubs in an era of exponential revenue growth, a trend exemplified by the experience of Italy’s Series A and the English Premier League – both ...
Battlefield of Angels
Do you really believe in angels and demons...or that the eyes of heaven are constantly upon you? What if the heavens gave you a small glimpse of the spiritual realm around you? Would it change the way you live your life today? David Anderson was given such a glimpse as a young boy. Now, at the age of 32, he's been called and predestined to partake of a heavenly calling placed upon him that would change his life forever. But the evil powers and forces of the spiritual realm of Metro City will stop at nothing to keep the young man away from that calling. To be transformed into a man of faith, it will take the power of the Holy Spirit and of the angelic warriors of God to prepare, protect, and safeguard Mr. Anderson along his path. "Don't forget to entertain strangers, for by doing some people have entertained angels without knowing." Hebrews 13:2 Soldiers in Christ Ministries

Exploring the cultural, ideological and economic legacies of Euro 2012
European National football came together in the summer of 2012 for the 14th occasion. This book sets out to examine the enduring social tensions between supporters and authorities, as well as those between local, national and European identities, which formed the backdrop to the 14th staging of the European National football tournament, Euro2012. The context of the tournament was somewhat unique from those staged in previous years, being jointly hosted for the first time by two post-Communist nations still in the process of social and economic transition. In this respect, the decision to stage Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine bore its own material and symbolic legacies shaping the tournament:...

Why Minorities Play or Don't Play Soccer
Soccer, the most popular mass spectator sport in the world, has always remained a marker of identities of various sorts. Behind the façade of its obvious entertainment aspect, it has proved to be a perpetuating reflector of nationalism, ethnicity, community or communal identity, and cultural specificity. Naturally therefore, the game is a complex representative of minorities’ status especially in countries where minorities play a crucial role in political, social, cultural or economic life. The question is also important since in many nations success in sports like soccer has been used as an instrument for assimilation or to promote an alternative brand of nationalism. Thus, Jewish teams ...
