Unlike many teams in the MLB the Yankees have a huge trail of success following them, not so much in the past couple of years, but still a successful history. The Yankees have played in 40 of the 109 World Series and won 27 of them, that is more than any team in history! They also have countless personal awards that the players have won.

It is a prestige honor to be a Yankee, and still is to this to this day.…
I also can’t comprehend the whole “loose Geography” thing that football has acquired over the years. Is it something like “96% of Manchester United supporters don’t live in the UK”? I have four brothers, two older, two younger; the eldest doesn’t do football in general, the younger two support City and the other supports United. But then all of a sudden one of the City fans decided to support Newcastle! It happened right before my very absence! One minute his room was blue and then the next it was black…
Perhaps the ultimate legacy of the Beckham era is that MLS doesn 't need him to continue growing. There are now 19 teams, compared with 12 when Beckham signed in 2007, and 15 of those play in soccer-specific stadiums. When the league kicks off its 18th season next March, it will have lasted longer than the old NASL (1968--84), which fizzled after foreign stars such as Pelé and Johan Cruyff left. MLS 's television ratings leave something to be desired, but mere survival is no longer a concern, following a season of record average attendance…

Deemed as one of the NFL’s most valuable franchises, the Washington Redskins are facing an uphill battle against the Native American community. Daniel Snyder, Washington Redskins owner truly believes that there is nothing wrong with the name of his beloved franchise. As a young boy Dan’s love started off as a loyal fan, before transitioning into a sports business executive in the NFL.

Dan’s love for the Redskins is genuine and loyal coming from a fan, and now as an NFL owner. However, in a world full of political correctness and diversification, Dan Snyder’s “Redskins” is an offensive racial slur directed towards the Native American people.…

On 26th August 2009, Lander Unzueta, FC Barcelona’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), was sitting in his office with his early morning cup of coffee in front of all the day’s newspapers. The day before, Jorge Valdano, General Manager of FC Barcelona’s archrival, Real Madrid, had declared to the German news agency DPA (Deutsche Presse Agentur): “Each [club] aims to occupy a place in the world from its own particular vision. Barcelona does it by looking from Catalonia inwards, while Real Madrid does it from Spain outwards...” Valdano’s words were on the front page of every Spanish sports newspaper and were also highlighted in the sports sections of all the major general newspapers in Spain. The international media were also echoing Valdano’s opinions. Unzueta knew for sure that this was going to be a hectic day, with journalists calling to get the expected reactions from FC Barcelona representatives. He also knew that it would not be long before different stakeholders jumped into the fray, expressing their views on the issue. But Unzueta also thought it was probably a good excuse to revise FC Barcelona’s global brand strategy.…

I was getting ready for school when I remembered that Manchester United would be coming to Parkhead to take on Celtic in the Champions’ League group stage. My excitement grew immediately. I pondered for a second realizing that if Celtic won this game they would be through to the last sixteen, an achievement no other Scottish club had achieved for years. Maybe this could be our year, I thought.…
