Professionalism and globalization of soccer

Introduction

 Soccer have gained a considerable measure of fame in the recent years. It can be considered devaluing soccer by saying that it is a small business. However it might have been a small business earlier but after getting an idea on how much money it would make it can no longer be considered a small business, it has now grown to other levels and for now a big industry. It also can hardly be said to be a bad business considering the fact that people are earning a living for working in this industry. There are no records of illegal means used in getting cash into the industry. Soccer have been recorded to be having so many funs amongst all other forms of sport.

            By saying that soccer is a small business it might not be the case in the real world situation. This might be the opposite of what is in the real world practically, it is great devaluing of the industry. Based on the statistics that are given about the amount of money the industry is making every now and then, it is evident that it must be a big business (Kuper & Szymanski 2014). Currently those who are involved in these sport are professionals who earn a living for themselves and their families. People take their time and resources to ensure they get access to this games as it is in progress from wherever they are in the globe. All this efforts reflect that there is always something unique with this people showing that they have a professionality in this subject. This has led to the great fame of soccer globally.

            Soccer is a business with its own unique professionals although others say that it is a business of stupid people. How is it that people with great and unique skills are referred to as stupid people? It is unexpected for this to be heard. According to the great things that are done in this industry, a different view might have more meaning. Soccer members cannot in any way be stupid, they must be people with sense and great skills that many others including the learned might not have. It should be noted that playing soccer at international levels is not in any case a skill to be taken lightly. It is a great skill and profession that need to be valued like any other that is being offered in schools. A conclusion can be made that if the soccer members and the players are stupid then the lovers of soccer might be more stupid for spending their time and resources trying to get access to their activities.

            Why is soccer referred as a bad business? What is the major reason of it being a bad business? It should be taken with greater concern that a business main aim is that of making money. The means through which soccer makes its money is through legal means, a good example is the making of shirts, shoes and scarfs and other commodities that they market and sell in seasons like the World Cup (Kuper & Szymanski 2014). Also the tickets that people pay to attend these games earn them money, all these are legal means. However it might be the over-pricing of the goods and the making of tickets expensive during this seasons. This is the trend of all businesses that when the demand of a commodity is high then the prices always go up and hence it should not be placed on soccer only but all businesses then. The governments should also know that from soccer there is much that they earn.
