Soccer (Football) is arguably considered the world's most popular sport. Over 250 million soccer players world wide. This June, brazil will host the 2014 world cup...
Buffalo Wild Wings created a mobile game called SCVNGR to engage their target audience of 20-30 year olds in basketball-related challenges at their restaurant locations nationwide. Players earned points and rewards like food and merchandise for completing challenges. The game fostered competition through public leaderboards and encouraged sharing on social media. Over the 3 month campaign, 184,000 unique players participated, generating 118 million social impressions and increasing repeat visits.
Football has historically provided men with a sense of community and was intertwined with everyday life, work, family, and friendship. It was a collective social experience that was passed down through generations. Important matches were widely celebrated and remembered, with individual and collective memories structured around football. However, since the 1980s, football has been transformed into a more individualized and consumer-led experience with all-seater stadiums and irregular scheduling. As a result, maintaining collective memories through artifacts like photographs and memorabilia has become important for establishing continuity with the past.

UX is a broad field and designers are increasingly playing a strategic role in many companies. Be that designer.
Businesses are increasingly adopting user-centered approaches to create experiences, moving UX design to be one of the core activities driving the company strategy and operations.
This is an incredibly valuable opportunity that we designers can take to step up and contribute to create the great experiences and services they envision, taking our vision, tools and understanding to a different level. But we need to learn the new skills to play at this table, a table that's often speaking a different language with a lot of politics and different stakeholders.

The document discusses culture and design. It defines culture using quotes from anthropologists and breaks culture down into 3 building blocks - patterns, stories, and interpretations. Patterns help people see culture through shared norms and behaviors. Stories help people understand culture through shared narratives. Interpretations help people know culture through making complex connections. The implications are that acknowledging assumptions, gaining new perspectives on culture, and designers taking on a "trickster" role can help integrate culture and design.

Dealing with financial mismanagement Excerpt from Sport FuLinaCovington707
Dealing with financial mismanagement
Excerpt from Sport Funding and Finance 2nd Edition, by Bob Stewart
INTRODUCTION
Paradoxes abound in the world of sport. As we have already noted, as sport becomes popular and
more commercialized, and as it takes on a more business-like approach to its operations, it can
lose the support of those people who place a high value on sport’s traditions and its links to local
communities. A good example from Australian sport is the redevelopment of the Adelaide
cricket ground. The Adelaide Oval, as it is more commonly known, was regarded as one of the
most picturesque sporting venues in the world. This was because of its 150-year-old grandstands,
its heavily grassed and perfectly sloped viewing spaces, its heritage scoreboard and the views
spectators had of the superb surrounding parkland. It was an aesthetic masterpiece. This all
changed with its refurbishment as a major international-standard stadium. It opened in 2014
complete with three multi-tiered, ‘state of the art’ stands with sight lines that were unimaginable
under the old model. The old members’ pavilion had been subsumed into a hypermodern facility,
a large proportion of the grassy slopes had been removed, and the views of the surrounding
parklands had been erased. But the changes had also increased the seating capacity, and actually
made the seating comfortable as well. It delivered spectacular viewing positions, it provided
civilized hospitality services, and it provided the sort of toilet facilities that are now just taken for
granted in any modern entertainment venue.
The other paradox is a financial one. As noted above many times over, sport has gone through a
commercial revolution. It has secured a funding base that could only have been dreamed about
fifty years ago. The earlier chapters have provided example upon example of how and why this
has occurred, but suffice to say it has delivered spectators not only highly accessible experiences,
but also memorable ones as well. The scale of international sport’s commercial impact is
exemplified in a 2012 Forbes magazine study of the ten richest sporting events in the world. In
constructing the list, Forbes’ feature writer, Monte Burke, focused solely on the prize money (in
USD) paid out to the winner of the event or tournament. Using this simple indicator, he compiled
the following list:
•UEFA Champions League – $77 million;
•UEFA European Football Championship – $33 million;
•FIFA World Cup – $31 million;
•NFL Super Bowl – $16 million;
•MLB World Series – $15 million;
•Dubai Horse Racing World Cup Night – $10 million;
•UEFA Europa League – $9 million;
•ICC Cricket World Cup – $4 million.
Monte also included the World Series of Poker, with prize money of USD 9 million. However,
from this book’s perspective it fails to meet the conditions for being designated as a sport. It
might be high on strategy and bluff, but it has ...
The document proposes overdue changes to increase women's representation in sports business leadership. It argues that diversity, including gender diversity, improves decision making quality. A proposed solution is to make board selection processes transparent, include women on selection panels, and require that 50% of candidates interviewed for board positions be women, with the final decision made on merit. Evidence from the NFL suggests that a similar "Rooney Rule" significantly increased representation of minorities in coaching positions over time. The goal is to ensure the best women are not disadvantaged and that any changes are market-based, measurable, and proven to work.
The document discusses several topics related to sports fans and fandom, including the 8 basic motives that drive sports fans, concepts like "BIRGing" and "CORFing", differences between types of fans like "deep fans" and blue vs white collar fans. It also examines the social impact of notable sporting events and athletes as well as the popularity and cultural significance of sports in society.
Grassroot Soccer is an international organization that uses soccer to educate and empower young people about health issues like HIV/AIDS. Through dynamic lessons and positive role models, their evidence-based programs have reached over 1.3 million at-risk youth. By hosting a charity soccer game, a college team can support Grassroot Soccer's mission while gaining benefits like unity, mentorship, and community engagement.

The document discusses the ongoing debate around legalizing marijuana in the U.S. Proponents argue that marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol and support its medical uses, while celebrities and business people admit to using it. However, others oppose legalization due to health risks like lung damage and effects on adolescent brain development. The document provides historical context on marijuana and information on its chemical components and effects on the body. It encourages readers to research both sides of the debate and decide whether legalizing marijuana would make their country better or worse.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
