Enhancing the Image of Errant Professional Sports Figures
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper discussing workable approaches to professional sports teams' crisis management. The paper uses Panthers' Rae Carruth and the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis as examples. Carruth was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Ray Lewis was implicated in a murder but was acquitted. Both had the potential to damage the teams' image in their home cities, but it appears that has not happened. Lewis even followed his summer acquittal with a season that gained him the titles of league Defensive Player of the Year and the Super Bowl's MVP. The Ravens were fortunate in not requiring concerted crisis management. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Increased Ticket Pricing of Basketball
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that professional basketball ticket prices have skyrocketed in the past few years. The average fan cannot afford a ticket, much less a ticket for a good seat. One has to wonder what sort of impact the lack of affordability and the elitism that has evolved around basketball will ultimately have in terms of game attendance, present behavior of spectators, and the future behavior of fans. A number of factors have combined to cause such a situation and team owners and management must develop a number of creative ways of responding to the situation if they are to continue to maintain a full house of fans on game nights. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
