Over the past little while I have researched and learned quite a bit about the NFL and fan to fan, I'd like to share with you my findings. First off, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Robbie Wolanski, proud fan of the Green Bay Packers, and avid football fan. I'm sure that when most of you think about the NFL you think about watching your team on Sunday, big hits, and Tom Brady. Let me give you something else to think about. Is the NFL a perfect corporation? Do they have any issues? Today I will be answering this and going into detail about the NFL.

American football originated with its earlier form of play that derived from a variation of

Sports Stadiums are an iconic staple of American tradition. However not everything about these venues is positive. Team owners take advantage of laws and fans to meet their own goals. Citizens and city officials from various locations have taken up their grievances with the NFL in the past. And it has gotten to the point where even political parties join together to bring to light issues with the organization. NFL stadiums are not good for cities because they take advantage of tax payers, hurt citizens on an economic level and cost them billions in subsidies.

While growing up in the state of Texas I was introduced to National Football League (NFL) at a very young age. Not only was I obsessed with great players like Emmitt Smith and Michael Irving, I had a more finical appreciation for the lucrativeness associated with the NFL. My young adulthood as well as my teenage years was spent playing and learning football with the aspirations of hopefully making it to the NFL. Unfortunately, my playing days ended with tryouts at Texas Tech University, but my love for the game has remained stagnant over the years even till this day. The NFL today is Americas most watched sports league and has taken the crown as the most lucrative and unique economic force in sports. Forbes offered approximations stating that on average, the NFL generates more than $6-9 billion a year in revenues alone. A third of the individual franchises in the league were appraised at over more than $1 billion while the other franchises average nine figures or higher. The NFL as an organization generates its revenues through a multitude of ways ranging from huge television contracts, in-stadium ticket sales, advertising ads paid for by sponsors and merchandise. Their business model unlike most other leagues, is centered on a hard salary cap on player contracts which provides cost certainty with its sponsors. In this paper, I will examine the economic and historical narrative associated with the growth of the NFL’s

The author of both "Weighing the Risks" and "let Them Play" make arguments on whether some sports (namely american football) are too dangerous for the athletes that compete. The author of "Weighing the Risks" supports the idea that american football is far too dangerous for the athletes that compete. One claim he or she makes is that "A national football league (NFL) official testified before Congress in 2009 about the risks to players. He reported that some former players suffer from memory loss and several other brain disorders." Then the author supports this claim by saying "Frequent head injuries cause these issues. A player can injure his head in a violent tackle when he hits the ground, or from the severe impact when players head-butt each other." Another claim the author makes is that "The NFL has responded to the public’s heightened awareness about players’ head traumas. The League released its guidelines and policies to decrease player injuries." He or she then supports this claim by stating "For some, this is sufficient. However, safety policies do not appear to have much impact. Players experienced an increase in head injuries in

According to the Harris poll of 2015 35% of Americans say the NFL is their favourite sport, this has been the case since 1985. Baseball referred to as ‘America’s game’ came in being in second despite the NFL being two and half times more popular, showing that ‘America’s game’ is an incorrect reference as it does not reflect American society. Therefore it is no surprise that the NFL has significant cultural status within American society and history.

While, the NCAA expects the individual schools to handle … the NFL rejects the notion that football related concussions play a large part in … This type of thinking is what has gotten the league into trouble. The league argues that there is not enough evidence to support … and has treated the problem similar to that of the tobacco company’s denial that cigarettes had bad side effects to a person’s health (Hanna, 2010).

In the general external environment there are seven factors which affect an organization. One of the areas is the economic segment. The USFL was in the United States economy and they had success with relatively good television ratings. However, mismanaging money in the form of signing players above the salary cap with the owners money caused league owners to be in debt and unable to pay for their teams which led towards the leagues decline. The demographic segment affected the decision to move the league to the fall or keep it in the spring. The league would need to evaluate what time to play the games and when during the year to appeal to the majority of the population and the most ideal age group. The USFL was on the rise by putting teams in more places such as Boston. The Boston Breakers played at Boston Universities’ field which was right by the highway. This location provided advertising for the team because people would drive by the stadium every day. During the beginning the USFL was rather popular among the societies it was in and by getting popular players the league was entertaining fans. The attitude of the fans changed when there was a proposed move to the fall because they enjoyed being able to have football in the spring. This attitude change can negatively affect the sociocultural segment with the USFL. A global segment could possibly have helped the USFL if they decided to do business in a new global market such as starting a team in Canada. This would expand the market for the USFL even more. In the technological segment the USFL was trying to get more of their games on popular developing stations on television. By broadcasting the games on television and using advertising the hope was to draw in more fans. Last the legal segment proved to be the ultimate decline for the USFL. The

To connect to the economic power that generates through the Super Bowl one must understand the historical pattern of revenue, ticket cost, and attendance the game exhibits in the week leading up to the actual showdown. The ticket prices of the Super Bowl are the main catalyst into understanding what every consumer is willing to spend and how much revenue the game brings to that city. In 1967, the first Super Bowl tickets were no higher than 12 dollars and the average price of a home was less than 25,000 dollars (Smith, 2012). In 2016, the average ticket price was 1,325 dollars making a big ascendance from 1967 (Depietro, 2017).
