Money, more money and sport

“Media and Sport – An historical perspective” was chaired by Deirdre Hynes and was marked by few speakers. Despite this, the session was very active, with a lot of public questions and analysis on different sports, especially cricket and football.

Mr. Leo Gertrude David, from the Dept. of Electronics and Media Tech of Karunya University, India, spoke about media and sports in India, explaining why is cricket the most famous sport. “30% of Indian children under 15 years unknown of the existence of other national sports beyond cricket. Hockey, tenis and badminton are just remember on the Olympic Games”, says Mr. David.

From Germany, Lothar Mikos approached the TV’s investments on four of the most important football leagues: Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga. Through his presentation, the public could conclude that TV channels spend a lot of money during the last years to acquire television rights of these leagues.

Based on British sports, Raymond Boyle, of University of Glasgow, gave prominence to the relationship between policy and sports, football mainly. “The Scottish sports hierarchy is football, football and football.”
