Regulating Football: Commodification, Commodification and the Law
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Football in Europe has undergone massive changes over the last decade. "Regulating Football"gets behind the headlines to look at the impact of the ever-increasing commercialization and commodification of football.
Providing vital historical background the this book goes on to look in detail at the implications for the clubs, and questions whether we have reached the point where commercial issues have superseded the club and even the game of football itself. The role of players, agents, officials, governing bodies, and the media are all explored. The authors pay attention to levels of violence both on and off the field in both the professional and amateur forms of the game. Racism in the game is also surveyed with particular emphasis placed on efforts to combat racism on and off the pitch.
