week 7- blake lawrie

this week we looked at money in sport and the growing pressures the populaitry in professional sport casues on sport managers and sporting instituations.  4 phases of sport development over the past 50 years from recreational/cultural purposes to modern sport with corporasation and sports clubs run as a business. then looked at  where money for sport comes from. areas of revenue include membership, fundraising, sponsorship, media contracts, assest owned by clubs or organisations such as the stadiums.  the growing pressures placed on sport managers was most intersting to me this week. the articles which were on pinboard weere intersting and relevant. especially liked reading about over price beer at the olympics, as this is something that irrates me when i go to live sport. anenjoyable week of readings.
