🏉 Some hard-hitting truths by @RPMComo on how rugby is facing an existential crisis due to the “same old” #sportsgov legacy structure not having a forward-looking vision - and #sportsbiz investors not doing their homework. Make no mistake - applies to other Tier 2 sports, too.

🇪🇸 Exhibit 1 on why Spanish #sportsbiz loses millions of €€€s annually due to the treatment of the visiting fans (domestic/Euro) that discourages away fans from travelling. The #emptyseats issue that should be solved at #sportsgov level. @jjreade @schreyerforscht @Tebasjavier

❓Is it even an “overhaul”? Part of me is glad with this long-overdue #sportsgov effort to *preserve* the beautiful game as we know it. But I’m also torn at *conserving* a century-old business model that doesn’t fit modern standards. It may mark the start of a decline. #sportsbiz

Always one step behind. European football would have been in a better shape for all stakeholders (incl. institutional, #sportsbiz investors) involved had a #sportsgov body proactively considered all possible scenarios - but they are a commercial actor as well… (by @SamuelAgini)

🇫🇷 Quite a lot to learn about governance and communications in sports from this case study. A swift leadership change is effectively underway in French football due to a remarkable and completely unnecessary #sportsgov crisis.

💰 Jeszcze final tych 30 milionów będzie taki, że zawieszą kadrę w rozgrywkach międzynarodowych. W ramach autonomii sportu rząd nie może ingerować w to, jak sportem zarządza dana federacja - a tutaj pierwotnie chciano dzielić bonus z pominięciem związku. Podstawy #sportsgov.

This #WorldCup amplifies #sportsgov issues that men’s game has been otherwise swiping under the carpet. We know what #leadership role captains in women’s football, a safe space for LGBTQ+ expression, would take here.

Good analysis on the Gulf states’s motivation to host major sporting events: “to bolster their global clout, out of a desire to diversify their economies, attract tourism, further their foreign policy goals and stoke nationalism at home…” #sportsgov
