- Global Sport and Profit

Catalog description

This course will explore how profit is created, consumed, and distributed in global professional sports. We will examine soccer and tennis in-depth, weaving discussion of other global sports in with guest speakers and activities. The global sports analyzed in this class generate significant financial gain in public and private forms. Specifically, students will look at the relationship between organizational structures, leagues, community partnerships, and personal investment to interrogate how sports contribute to the economic, social, political, and cultural aspects of nations and peoples.
