The Sutherland House Inc. Dark Goals: How History's Worst Tyrants Have Used
Book SynopsisBenito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Evita and Juan Peron, Augusto Pinochet, and Pablo Escobar Soccer has been the world’s most popular sport for the last century and an irresistible game for political and social leaders seeking shortcuts to the hearts of their people. Some of the prime movers of the twentieth-century, including Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Evita and Juan Perón, Augusto Pinochet, and the drug lord Pablo Escobar, have found in soccer a magnificent partner for enflaming patriotism, manipulating the masses, prolonging their stays on the throne, justifying aberrant acts, or simply recreating the old Roman “bread and circuses” (in many cases without the bread). They have tried to turn the beautiful game into something useful. Sometimes it worked, momentarily, but as renowned sports journalist Luciano Wernicke writes in this fascinating and original book, the game and its glories have survived them all.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup: Media, Fandom, and
Book SynopsisThis book examines the most prolific international women’s football tournament—the FIFA Women’s World Cup—through media, fandom and how mediated women’s soccer can improve on a global scale. Women’s soccer has exploded in terms of media exposure, television audiences and live spectatorship. This book explores those macro-level issues, while also digging into micro-level topics such as Megan Rapinoe’s celebrations and political activism, VAR reviews, LGBTQ imagery, and cultural obstacles for women’s football in Central-Eastern Europe and Nigeria. Using an interdisciplinary approach, scholars look at issues through the lenses of feminist theory, cultural studies, rhetorical criticism, political economy, performative sport fandom, autoethnography, and more. Thus, the book is important reading for students, researchers and media practitioners with interests in women’s soccer, gender in sports media, coverage of women’s sport, and sport fandom.Trade Review Table of ContentsIntroduction and Overview.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Fußball in England und Deutschland von 1961 bis
Book SynopsisFußball ist heute ein Milliardengeschäft: hochprofessionell, extrem kommerzialisiert und weltweit populär. Bis Anfang der 1990er Jahre steckte er jedoch in einer Krise: rückläufige Zuschauerzahlen, marode Stadien, verschuldete Vereine. Wie war es möglich, dass es in Deutschland und England um 1990 fast zeitgleich zu einer radikalen Neuausrichtung des Spiels unter den Vorzeichen von Vermarktlichung und Globalisierung kam? Hannah Jonas untersucht die Geschichte des Fußballs und bettet sie in den zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext von Konsum, Medien, Globalisierung und politisch-kulturellen Trends ein.

Peter Lang AG Professionelle Fußballspieler in Der
Book SynopsisProfessionelle Fußballspieler stellen die bedeutendsten Produktionsfaktoren eines Fußballclubs dar, denn schließlich steht und fällt sowohl der gesamte sportliche als auch der wirtschaftliche Erfolg eines Clubs mit der Leistung seiner Fußballspieler. Eine Diskussion über die bilanzielle Abbildung von Profifußballspielern nach den International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) hat in der Literatur trotz der Aktualität des Themas bisher nur sehr rudimentär stattgefunden. Insofern liegt das erste wesentliche Ziel dieser Arbeit in der Erarbeitung von Anwendungsleitlinien zur IFRS-konformen Bilanzierung professioneller Fußballspieler. Da speziell die Frage nach der zweckmäßigen bilanziellen Abbildung des Spielervermögens in der informationsorientierten Rechnungslegung bislang noch nicht beantwortet wurde, ist das zweite Ziel eine ökonomische Analyse der IFRS-konformen Bilanzierungsvorschriften für Profifußballspieler vor dem Hintergrund der Zwecke der Rechnungslegung für Fußballclubs. Ausgehend von den Ergebnissen dieser Analyse werden letzten Endes Reformvorschläge für eine bilanzielle Abbildung von Profifußballspielern de lege ferenda entwickelt.

Peter Lang AG Der Ball war rund: Die Umverteilung der Chancen
Book SynopsisIm europäischen Spitzenfußball dominiert eine kleine Gruppe von Vereinen. Diese statistische Untersuchung analysiert für die vier wichtigsten europäischen Ligen Bundesliga, Premier League, Primera División, Serie A die Tendenz zur Dominanz weniger Vereine. Ein Blick auf die kommerziell ebenfalls erfolgreiche nordamerikanische Profiliga im Basketball NBA legt nahe, dass mit regulierenden Eingriffen in den Ligabetrieb eine stärker egalitäre Entwicklung möglich wäre.

Peter Lang AG Der Sportverein im Vereins- und Steuerrecht: Die
Book SynopsisIm Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob die Rechtsform des eingetragenen Vereins in der Bundesliga noch angemessen ist. Obwohl sich der Profifußball in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einer milliardenschweren Unterhaltungsindustrie entwickelt hat, sind in Deutschland noch immer einige Teilnehmer der Bundesliga als eingetragene Vereine organisiert. Diese Rechtsform haben sie zum Ende des 19. bzw. zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts gewählt und seither nicht verändert. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass aus vereinsrechtlichen und steuerrechtlichen Gründen die Rechtsform zwingend geändert werden muss. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse dieser Verstöße entwickelt er einen Lösungsvorschlag. Durch steuerneutrale Umwandlung ist ihm zufolge eine Heilung der Rechtsverstöße möglich.

Peter Lang AG Die Abwertung des Anderen mittels Sprache im
Book SynopsisKanake oder Kartoffel? Wörter beschreiben mehr als einzelne Objekte. Wörter teilen ein, grenzen aus und werten ab. Das soziale Phänomen der alltäglichen verbalen Gewalt stellt der Band am Beispiel des Amateurfußballs in Deutschland und Frankreich explorativ dar. Der Autor veranschaulicht, dass verbale Gewalt im Amateurfußball in beiden Ländern weit verbreitet ist. Die Mehrheit der berichteten konkreten verbalen Gewalt lässt dabei auf Gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindliche Einstellungen schließen. Hierbei überwiegen sexistische Beleidigungen. Zudem zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass der Schiedsrichter verbale Gewalt höchst unterschiedlich bewertet. Landesspezifische Konflikte schlagen sich hingegen nicht signifikant bei der Bewertung von verbaler Gewalt durch den Amateurschiedsrichter nieder. Vielmehr kann angenommen werden, dass das Regelwerk der FiFA Richtschnur deutscher und französischer Amateurschiedsrichter ist.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Mind Match Soccer: The Final Step to Become a
Book SynopsisClose soccer matches and tight title fights are rarely decided by players' technical skills or their coaches' tactical measures. The most significant impetus comes from an area that is often mentioned but difficult to grasp: mental strength, personality, and team cohesion after special victories. Using current scientific knowledge and illustrated by many examples, this book describes the mental and cognitive processes that determine victory and defeat in soccer. Several interviews with well-known soccer coaches, managers and former players complement these findings from psychology and sport science.It deals with phenomena such as the home field advantage, creativity on the field, extreme emotional situations, the limits of visual perception, group dynamics and modern leadership. Well-known myths (e.g. Don't let the player who has been fouled shoot the penalty) will be discussed and debunked. Every soccer enthusiast should read this book in order to understand which phenomena can genuinely be game-changing and which ones cannot.Table of ContentsFaith and Knowledge.- Art and Intelligence.- Friends and Enemies.- Power and Powerlessness.- Illusion and Reality.- Red Light and Yellow Fever.- Perception and Deception.- Pressure and Failure.- Harmony and Drama.- Risk and Side Effects.
