Football Code Of Ethics

Corruption in sport is not a new occurrence. However there has been an increasing series of high-profile corruption cases arising all over the world and in many different sports. This has seen an increased vulnerability to the integrity and values of sport. Illegal activities such as match-fixing, use of inside information for betting purposes and improper use of commercialisation of sports betting are many examples that lead to corruption of sport. Many of these legal and illegal activities are affecting the integrity and values on and off the field. If the industry of sports betting continues to grow there is a high chance of corruption increasing throughout sports. Although I strongly believe that betting in sports shouldn’t be totally banned.

Contrasting to Document 1, by Caio Megale from What did the World Cup do to Brazil’s economy? about why having the World Cup in Brazil is ultimately a great benefit to Brazil, Document 2, by Paul Dimeo from Hosting Major Sports Events: Hidden Costs and Policy Dilemmas, believes that the harms of hosting a major sporting event in no way outweigh the negatives. Overall, Document 2’s argument is stronger because of the author’s more effective use of inflammatory language, use of statistics, and outside sources, even though Document 1 does have a much stronger credibility. These articles, though, find very similar neutral effectiveness of reasoning and addressing counter arguments.

Taking down a corrupt part of a company is no easy task, but yet it is possible. The main target to defeating FIFA is the sponsorships (Oliver). Since FIFA is a non-profit organization, they rely on their partners such as Adidas, Coca Cola, and Mcdonalds. Fifa is estimated to making about $45bn (Critchlow) from sponsorships. FIFA recently lost Sony and Emirates as a sponsor due to the corruption scandals. That meant that FIFA lost $420 million dollars

Different revelation has been made from the first trail of the local bodies corruption on The FA, Brazilian FA and others to the head of the soccer association. The authors have mainly argued about the effects and the work that have been done to stop corruption from soccer. Although many committees have been formed to investigate the situation of corruption in today’s soccer there have been a very little change to it. I believe the increasing corruption in soccer can have very bad effect on the game which can eventually lose millions of fans and followers. The corruption has caused very negative impact towards the next generation of players and supporters that their favorite game has been ruined mostly by some people with much control on it due to corruption. The main problem that have caused corruption in my view and many of the articles and journals on corruption on soccer is the unmanaged distributions of funds allocated only by certain number of people without discussing with the committee. The sole power of some people like the former president of FIFA Sepp Blatter has caused an unbalance in the account of these bodies. The details of the distribution of funds has to be transparent and selling their votes by taking money from someone has to be stopped in order to make this game meaningful

It has been shown that referees have been being paid tons of money to be biased to a team. Many referees have been caught guilty of this and not many confess, but it gets too obvious. In 2001, two teams went against together in an important match. The team that the referee was going bias toward was losing. The referee started calling fake calls towards the other team, which gave them a huge disadvantage. These scams lead to the team that the referee was biased too, to win. Cheats have been consisted in many cruel ways, which lead to issues.

However, after almost four years of being awarded, reports of corruption, vote buying, and human rights abused has surfaced the news (Chi, 2014). The Telegraph reported that the former FIFA Vice-President, Jack Warner, and his family were paid millions from a company controlled by a former Quatari football official in order to sway the vote on the 2022 World Cup. Supporting documents have showed that payments totaling $750,000 were made to Warner’s sons, and additional $400,000 was paid to one of his employees (Claire et al, 2014). According to writer Samuel Chi from the Diplomat, he resigned from the organization in June 2011, but not before votes were cast in December 2010. Investigations from the FBI took effect immediately regarding the issue of Mr. Warner and his links to the Quatari bid. Russia was also subject to controversy of breaking FIFA rules. Allegedly, the Sunday Times reported that the president of Russia, Vladmir Putin, was a suspect of engaging in vote trading and vote-buying to win the support of FIFA voters (Sunday Times, 2014). The allegations were contained within a database. Both Russia and Quatar have denied accusations, but US and Swiss authorities continue to investigate the organization’s bidding process. Although Domenico Scala, the head of FIFA’s audit and compliance committee has not found real evidence against Russia and Quatar, he warns

Often times players get a translator that will translate directions during practice, but there are many smaller places that do not do this. Many teams overseas are use to having American players cycle through and learn a lot of English, or at least enough to explain basketball and achieve the ultimate goal. It’s not uncommon for players to complain about being homesick or not making connections with their teammates overseas because their teammates prefer to speak in their native language. Teams often spend as much time off the court together as they do on the court, going out to eat or watching movies. American players may feel left out as they don’t get invited to a movie because they won’t understand the native language or can’t add their

The absence of a universally accepted definition is particularly evident in the context of sport. Corruption in sport is often confined to the act of match-fixing, defined by Maennig as:

The image in the popular UK daily newspaper showed Blatter being showered with US dollar bills. All in all, although the money was fake, the image created controversy. The image portrayed high rank officials and upper class people in a whole, being money hungry. After a lot of investigation, it was found that the corruption had started long before time. More than a decade earlier from the time Blatter and other officials were convicted. Sepp Blatter was the man in power, he was head of FIFA and could bring a positive change but he misused his power. In the movie spider-man the conversion between two characters beautifully defines the job of peoples in authority. “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” (Spider-Man). It is a quote said by Benjamin Parker, a character more commonly known as “Uncle Ben” in the Marvel movie series “Spider-Man”. This simply means if you have the ability to do something, make sure that you do it for the good of others, but a lot of people think that, once they have some form of power, they can usually laud it over people and abuse it. History has a lot of people showing them becoming corrupted because of great power. Media and literature portray upper class people who have power over others in a negative way. In the story Duty Patrick Rigg tries to portray his power by saying “I can produce my SIG any time I want and snuff out the fourteen lives in closest proximity to me and still have one bullet left for myself. I can kill the Ukrainian women sitting beside me on the uptown train, or Harrison Phelps, the shy man in my company’s bonds department” (Schickler 111). Patrick is a rich guy and gun owner and has great power over people that aren’t wearing a gun, so it is his responsibility not to abuse this kind of power. It shows how rich people belonging to upper class society have no regards for others life. This

Ethics is the application of one’s personal beliefs and the impact on how a person makes decisions regarding the relationships involving a company. The most common agents that involve a person’s decisions are owners, employees, customers, clients,

The FIFA scandal is to be analyzed utilizing the Utilitarian and Virtue ethics framework, in order to view why FIFA senior management violated both ethical frameworks. Under the Utilitarian theory FIFA management violated the this ethical theory by treating personal as means to the end praying on the necessities of the country bidding for an opportunity to host such a prestige event in their country. Utilitarian Theory Utilitarian theories hold that the moral worth of actions or practices is determined by their consequences.

No two people are the same, and they will never be the same. Even twins have different ways of viewing things. This is the same for people ethical views, according the The Merriam-Websters Dictionary (2015) the definitions for ethics is “The rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad.” Knowing what is morally right or wrong especially in the business world can help prevent scandals or corrupt business practices. But in today society, ethics can be blurred through situations and personal views, now it seems as though people aren’t even thinking about what is ethical but more so what can benefit them. Within recent months, news of FIFA allowing bribes to be accepted from certain people has managed to corrupted a billion dollar business and affected their corporation along with allowing the world to see their ethical views. In this paper I will be talking about whether or not this a topical of ethical views, is this a common situation with management and if it affected international business.

Corporate Social Responsibility as taken precedence in the way in which business operates, and now the focus is to hold businesses ‘ accountable’, which is defined by (Keohane, 2006), as a implementation or rules and exercising of power, within a particular domain, cited in How FIFA can be held accountable? Example, of such is the issues surrounding the governance is within FIFA, and holding them accountable for the governance of football and the issues surrounding the international organization (Pieth, 2011) cited in, How FIFA can be held accountable?, these issues includes, acts of money laundering, fraud, corruption and bribery, (Alan Cameron, 2014, P.3), cited in The Case of FIFA, that these leaders should be held accountable for the decisions made, however (Keohane, 2006), stated that it is very difficult to enforce accountability, within a global context as it has particular challenges, especially when dealing with governmental and non-governmental organization across the globe with different domestic governance, which makes it complex in reaching a decision associated with the norms and standard associated with accountability, however with FIFA, stated (Keohane, 2006), that FIFA is a non-governmental organization, which means that government have no control over their practices, according to (Gideon Rachman, 2011) “FIFA cannot be held accountable”. (Grant and Keohane, 2005, p.35) cited in, How can FIFA be held accountable?, analyzed a comprehensive framework, in
