Integrated Marketing Communications in Football (Critical Research in Football)
by Argyro Elisavet ManoliThis book takes an important step forward in showing how Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) have been applied within the English Premier League (EPL) – arguably the most commercialised and watched sport league in the world – and how it can and should be utilised in the context of other sports properties. Drawing on cutting-edge empirical research, the book offers a detailed view into the marketing communications practices of EPL clubs (such as brand management and communications alignment), the football clubs’ practitioners’ perspectives of IMC and the integration processes taking place within the clubs. It examines the key marketing communications practices that strategic IMC entails, including marketing strategies and goals, cross-functional communication, external communication management and brand management, and helps researchers and practitioners to understand how IMC can have the maximum positive impact on the brand of an organisation, by managing their content, channels, stakeholders and results. This book is fascinating reading for any researcher, advanced student or practitioner with an interest in sport management, the business of football, sport marketing or innovative approaches to marketing and business communications in other commercial spheres.
Integrating Pittsburgh Sports (Sports)
by The Association of Gentleman Pittsburgh JournalistSteel City Sports as a Catalyst for Change Though Pittsburgh athletics had many of the same barriers to equality and racial discrimination as the rest of the nation for far too long, the city has celebrated some of the most important moments in the integration of sports in the country. Pittsburgh was the only city with two Negro League teams, fielding such future Hall of Famers as Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston and Satchel Paige. Local high school basketball stars Chuck Cooper, Bill Nunn, Jr., Dick Ricketts, Maurice Stokes, and Jack Twyman held integrated pick-up games at local parks such as Mellon Park in Shadyside in the 1950s. In college football, Connellsville native Jimmy Joe Robinson became the first African American player on Pitt's football team in 1945 as the school continued to integrate its squad ahead of federal desegregation.The Association of Gentleman Pittsburgh Journalists present the compelling, heartbreaking and courageous history of how Pittsburgh's integration of sport helped lead the nation.
Intersections of Sport and Society in Creative Writing
by Lee McGowan Kasey SymonsThis edited collection is positioned at the nexus of sports, society and creative writing. In its explorations of the intersections of sports writing, analysis of literary contributions and examinations of craft, it offers rare consideration of a rich diversity of form in narratives that occur in, and as creative practice. Included in the collection are dynamic academic investigations into football writing and poetry focused on community sporting activities in Afghanistan, to those addressing the intersections of writing and boxing in the reflexive reclamation of the post-trauma self, the absence of women in the rodeo and who and what is represented in our sports shelves. This book breaks new ground in approaches to sport’s role in creative writing and what creative writing can provide in furthering our understanding of sport in society. The works in this edited book draw on a diverse range of methods to interrogate the processes, concepts and liminal spaces through an intersectional array of voices, offering analysis and insight into the application of creative writing knowledge and practice in relation to sport and its impact on wider discipline discussion and research. It is relevant to students and scholars studying and researching creative writing, sports writing, sports studies, cultural studies and sports media studies.
Invasión de campo: Un manifiesto contra el fútbol como negocio y en defensa del aficionado
by Alejandro RequeijoUn manifiesto contra el fútbol como negocio y en defensa del aficionado.Este libro es un alegato en defensa de la identidad de las gradas. Es un manifiesto contra la homogeneización que imponen las televisiones y el mercado. No, tu equipo no es una marca global ni un producto de lujo. El fútbol es un patrimonio cultural, social, familiar, incluso estético. Representa un legado a proteger frente a un modelo que expulsa al hincha y cuestiona su sagrado vínculo de pertenencia. Alejandro Requeijo -periodista de larga trayectoria y partícipe de investigaciones sobre la gestión de Luis Rubiales al frente de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol o la difusión de los audios de Florentino Pérez- hace de esta obra una verdadera declaración de principios sobre lo que es la pasión por el fútbol y señala a los culpables de haber contaminado el deporte más hermoso del mundo.
Iowa State Hockey and Al Murdoch: Building a Dream (Sports)
by Alan Murdoch Tim HarwoodThe Making of Iowa State Hockey During five decades, Alan Murdoch played for, coached and managed the Iowa State Cyclone hockey team, making a life's work out of his personal resourcefulness and initiative. Iowa State grew into a premier program in non-scholarship hockey, and as the network of similar teams became increasingly formalized under the auspices of the American Collegiate Hockey Association - an organization to which Murdoch was an essential contributor - the Cyclones played at a national championship-level. The trophy for which they were vying: the Murdoch Cup. By the time he left the bench, Murdoch's teams had won more than 1,000 games against opponents from around the world. Sometimes funny, sometime emotional, Murdoch and author Tim Harwood explore the story of how winning became a way of life for Cyclone Hockey.
Isaac Murphy: The Rise and Fall of a Black Jockey (Black Lives)
by Katherine C. MooneyThe rise and fall of one of America&’s first Black sports celebrities Isaac Murphy, born enslaved in 1861, still reigns as one of the greatest jockeys in American history. Black jockeys like Murphy were at the top of the most popular sport in America at the end of the nineteenth century. They were internationally famous, the first African American superstar athletes—and with wins in three Kentucky Derbies and countless other prestigious races, Murphy was the greatest of them all. At the same time, he lived through the seismic events of Emancipation and Reconstruction and formative conflicts over freedom and equality in the United States. And inevitably he was drawn into those conflicts, with devastating consequences. Katherine C. Mooney uncovers the history of Murphy&’s troubled life, his death in 1896 at age thirty-five, and his afterlife. In recounting Murphy&’s personal story, she also tells two of the great stories of change in nineteenth-century America: the debates over what a multiracial democracy might look like and the battles over who was to hold power in an economy that increasingly resembled the corporate, wealth-polarized world we know today.
Jack Gibson's Fur Coat
by Glen HumphriesIVF and Ever After focuses on IVF treatment, its effects on families and relationships, and how to minimize the stress it causes. A groundbreaking work — no other book deals with the emotional experiences involved in IVF treatment and bringing up an IVF child. • IVF clinics are overflowing with new patients and have little room for the &‘personal touch&’ • 80 million couples worldwide couples experience infertility • This book is for couples thinking about IVF treatment, those undergoing treatment, and IVF parents who are experiencing emotional &‘lows&’ without knowing why • It is also an invaluable guide for health professionals working with IVF families IVF births make up a highly significant part of the fertility rate. The current overall success rate of IVF is approaching 25 per cent — twice what it was twenty years ago. Experts predict that we will approach a figure of 30 IVF births per 100 births by around 2030. IVF mothers are three times more likely to attend early parenting centers for help. IVF clinicians are now emphasizing to parents that stress plays a sizeable role in treatment success. Research has shown that women undergoing treatment for infertility have a similar level of stress as women dealing with life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease. IVF and Ever After discusses the latest international research, bringing together the most up-to-date information for parents. It moves beyond the &‘here and now&’ to look at issues families and practitioners rarely consider, such as telling a child about IVF conception, what to do with spare frozen embryos, and the implications of legislation to make surrogacy easier. This is also an essential read for any health professional involved with IVF, who rarely see how families cope away from the clinic, and it will be invaluable for GPs, who are seeing more and more patients who have been affected by IVF.
Jazz Age Giant: Charles A. Stoneham and New York City Baseball in the Roaring Twenties
by Robert F. GarrattIn the early 1920s, when the New York Yankees&’ first dynasty was taking shape, they were outplayed by their local rival, the New York Giants. Led by manager John McGraw the Giants won four consecutive National League pennants and two World Series, both against the rival Yankees. Remarkably, the Giants succeeded despite a dysfunctional and unmanageable front office. And at the center of the turmoil was one of baseball&’s more improbable figures: club president Charles A. Stoneham, who had purchased the Giants for $1 million in 1919, the largest amount ever paid for an American sports team. Short, stout, and jowly, Charlie Stoneham embodied a Jazz Age stereotype—a business and sporting man by day, he led another life by night. He threw lavish parties, lived extravagantly, and was often chronicled in the city tabloids. Little is known about how he came to be one of the most successful investment brokers in what were known as &“bucket shops,&” a highly speculative and controversial branch of Wall Street. One thing about Stoneham is clear, however: at the close of World War I he was a wealthy man, with a net worth of more than $10 million. This wealth made it possible for him to purchase majority control of the Giants, one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball. Stoneham, an owner of racehorses, a friend to local politicians and Tammany Hall, a socialite and a man well placed in New York business and political circles, was also implicated in a number of business scandals and criminal activities. The Giants&’ principal owner had to contend with federal indictments, civil lawsuits, hostile fellow magnates, and troubles with booze, gambling, and women. But during his sixteen-year tenure as club president, the Giants achieved more success than the club had seen under any prior regime. In Jazz Age Giant Robert Garratt brings to life Stoneham&’s defining years leading the Giants in the Roaring Twenties. With its layers of mystery and notoriety, Stoneham&’s life epitomizes the high life and the changing mores of American culture during the 1920s, and the importance of sport, especially baseball, during the pivotal decade.

Jumpman: The Making and Meaning of Michael Jordan
by Johnny SmithHow Michael Jordan&’s path to greatness was shaped by race, politics, and the consequences of fame To become the most revered basketball player in America, it wasn&’t enough for Michael Jordan to merely excel on the court. He also had to become something he never intended: a hero. Reconstructing the defining moment of Jordan&’s career—winning his first NBA championship during the 1990-1991 season—sports historian Johnny Smith examines Jordan&’s ubiquitous rise in American culture and the burden he carried as a national symbol of racial progress. Jumpman reveals how Jordan maintained a &“mystique&” that allowed him to seem more likable to Americans who wanted to believe race no longer mattered. In the process of achieving greatness, he remade himself into a paradox: universally known, yet distant and unknowable. Blending dramatic game action with grand evocations of the social forces sweeping the early nineties, Jumpman demonstrates how the man and the myth together created the legend we remember today.

Kingdom Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs, and How a Once Swingin' Cow Town Chased the Ultimate Comeback
by Mark Dent Rustin DoddFresh off of a gutsy, thrilling 2023 Super Bowl win for the Kansas City Chiefs, two inspiring stories that fit perfectly together—a biography of superstar quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who brought the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in fifty years in 2020 as well as a second in 2023, along with the historical struggles and recent resurgence of the former &“Paris of the Plains,&” Kansas City. There is nobody like Patrick Mahomes. In three seasons, he has won a Super Bowl and competed in another, earned the titles of First Team All-Pro, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and league MVP, and turned the Kansas City Chiefs from famed playoff failures into the most successful team in the NFL. With his unique and groundbreaking playing style, and winning personality both on and off the field, Mahomes has become a truly transcendent quarterback in a journey that mirrors and accentuates the rebirth of the once swingin&’ cow town of Kansas City, Missouri. Once an adventure-filled jazz epicenter and nightlife hub to rival New Orleans, Kansas City&’s wild edges and captivating neighborhoods were snuffed out in pursuit of a suburbanized dream that largely left out people of color. It&’s been a long road attempting to move past the scars of segregation and overcome the city&’s flyover reputation, but Kansas City is now poised to make a comeback, and no other person or team embodies that hope like Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City and Mahomes represent the story of the midwestern American city—how they grew, how they shaped the country, how the sport of football came to mean so much to them, how they failed, and how they are changing. Kansas City–area natives Mark Dent and Rustin Dodd have written for outlets such as The New York Times, The Kansas City Star, and Texas Monthly, bringing their deep connection to the city, football expertise, and polished writing skills to create a serious book about a very entertaining subject—the rebirth of a city, a team&’s triumph, and how Patrick Mahomes, and the team he led, were exactly what was needed to bring Kansas City back together again.
Kleine Forscherinnen und Forscher in Bewegung: Rekonstruktion von Erkundungsaktivitäten bei ein- bis dreijährigen Kindern in der Bewegungsbaustelle (Bildung und Sport #33)
by Björn BrandesErkundende und spielerische Aktivitäten sind für die frühkindliche Entwicklung von zentraler Bedeutung. Dies wird sowohl in entwicklungspsychologischen als auch in bewegungspädagogischen Überlegungen immer wieder herausgestellt. Im Bereich der elementaren Bewegungsfertigkeiten bieten insbesondere offene Bewegungsangebote, wie die Bewegungsbaustelle, besondere Potenziale für solche Aktivitäten. Gerade im Kleinkindbereich wurde bisher allerdings nicht empirisch und gegenstandsspezifisch untersucht, welche Formen von Bewegungsaktivitäten Kinder in der Bewegungsbaustelle vollziehen, wie die damit verbundenen Erkundungs- und Spielprozesse verlaufen und wie diese von pädagogischen Fachkräften angestoßen und begleitet werden können. In diesem Buch werden die Erkundungsaktivitäten von ein- bis dreijährigen Krippenkindern in der Bewegungsbaustelle in den Blick genommen und im Rahmen einer qualitativen Untersuchung einer empirisch-rekonstruktiven Analyse unterzogen. In einem Untersuchungszeitraum von drei Monaten wurden dazu 23 Stunden Videomaterial in einer Hamburger Krippe erhoben und anschließend mit den Verfahren der Grounded Theory Methode ausgewertet. An neuere sozial-konstruktivistische Konzepte in der Frühpädagogik anschließend werden in einem Ausblick erste Ansätze herausgearbeitet, wie Fachkräfte offene Bewegungssituationen im Kontext der rekonstruierten Erkundungsaktivitäten entwicklungsförderlich betreuen und begleiten können.

Kommerzialisierung des Fußballs vom Amateursport bis zur Super League: Mit Geleitwort von Fredi Bobic und Interview mit Martin Kind
by Marc J. Friedrich Sebastian Friedrich Ludwig HierlMit Geleitwort von Fredi Bobic und Exklusivinterview mit Martin Kind!Das Buch skizziert die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im Spitzenfußball: Ausufernde Spielergehälter und Ablösesummen lassen Vereine zunehmend wirtschaftlich defizitär agieren, um sich bei der Jagd nach begehrten Titeln wie in der Champions League Vorteile zu verschaffen. Diese Spirale veranlasste die UEFA, ein umstrittenes Reglement – Financial Fairplay – im europäischen Fußball zu installieren, das als gescheitert gilt und durch Financial Sustainability ersetzt wurde. Das Autorentrio stellt Alternativkonzepte für mehr sportliche Ausgeglichenheit (Competitive Balance) in den Wettbewerben vor. Eine Chronik zeichnet den Weg des Geldes in den Profifußball seit dem 19. Jahrhundert nach und beleuchtet, wie Vereine durch Aktienausgaben, den Verkauf von Vereinsanteilen an Investoren oder die Gründung einer Super League liquide Mittel generieren. Ferner werden wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie erläutert. Vereinsübernahmen durch staatsnahe Unternehmen (Paris Saint-Germain durch Katar oder Newcastle United durch Saudi-Arabien), um Sportswashing zu betreiben, oder die Gründung von Holding-Gesellschaften (City Football Group), um weltweit Fußballclubs unter sich zu vereinen, markieren Ansätze, sich gegen die Konkurrenz zu behaupten.
