There was quite a bit I learned from doing my blogs from an aspect of marketing and sports and what is all involved. How are players and teams marketed? What players and teams are more marketed than others? What players are in the spotlight for good and bad publicity? These questions and more are what my blogs were based on. The article I enjoyed the most and got the most out of was the one about players who commit crimes and how they are treated differently. As I mentioned before, when there is money and power, there can be a lot one can do to avoid trouble for the most part. If anyone of us did the minor things athletes do and the minor things they do would be major things for us, we would lose our jobs, ruin our families or worse.
I enjoyed writing about this topic so much that I am thinking of switching my major to sports marketing. I am taking sports promotions right now and it is very interesting how people are brought into games by special promotions such as $1 beer and $ dogs at Griffins games. This is a huge draw even for someone who isn't even a hockey fan. These days people just can't afford spending 40 or 50 bucks on an event. Sporting events are not a priority with high unemployment and a crappy economy.
With a passion for sports like I have, I believe I could excel in this field. There has to be a passion for something in order to be really good at it. Especially, when it comes to the NFL, NHL, MLB. NCAA Football is also great to watch. My team is Michigan and right now they have a lot of work to do so hopefully Rich-Rod can get his shhhhstuff together quickly.
