6- COMMERCIALIZATION

Page 31: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

• Until the year 1972, the International Olympic Committee refused money from corporate sponsors. After the retirement of President Avery Brundage, the IOC began seriously considering the potential of television advertising markets that were being made available for it. The Olympic brand had managed to grow very big and many international sponsors wished to promote their products with its help.

Page 32: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

• Under the suitable guidance of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the IOC harnessed the entire potential of the television. Till the year 1972, the IOC was run on a very meager budget. Avery Brundage, the president of the IOC from the year 1952 to the year 1972, refused to open the IOC’s doors to commercial sponsors because he believed that because of their influence, the decision making authority of the IOC would be mitigated.

Page 33: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

• When he retired, the total amount of assets the IOC had was $2 million. However, after 1972, there was complete change in the way of thinking amongst the members of the IOC. In the next eight years, they managed to accumulate assets worth $45 million. In the year 1980, Juan Antonio Samaranch was elected president of the IOC and he had an aim of making the IOC financially independent.

• When he retired, the total amount of assets the IOC had was $2 million. However, after 1972, there was complete change in the way of thinking amongst the members of the IOC. In the next eight years, they managed to accumulate assets worth $45 million. In the year 1980, Juan Antonio Samaranch was elected president of the IOC and he had an aim of making the IOC financially independent.

Page 35: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

• The Summer Olympics of the year 1984 witnessed a revolutionary change in the amount of money generated by the Organizing Committee. The committee managed to amass a total surplus of $225 million via sponsorship deals. The IOC then looked for the possession of the sponsorship rights. Samaranch started a new program called TOP (The Olympic Program) in order to increase the Olympic brand value. To acquire a membership in TOP, a company has too shell out $50 million for four years. If a company becomes a member, then it has the right to use the Olympic symbol i.e. the intersecting rings, in its advertisements.

Page 36: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

• The Winter Olympics of 1956 were the first Olympic Games to be broadcasted on television to the entire world. Because of the widespread acceptance, the Winter Olympics of 1960 had their rights of broadcasting sold to huge broadcasting networks such as European Broadcasting Union and CBS, who paid heavy sums of money. The sale of broadcasting rights was one of the main reasons because of which the IOC managed to accumulate a huge amount of money. The costs of the rights kept increasing and CBS had to pay a staggering $375 million to obtain the broadcasting rights for the Nagano Olympics of 1998. NBC had to shell out an enormous sum of approximately $3.5 billion in order to broadcast the 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 games.

Page 74: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

BOYCOTTS

Sport has social, psychological and economical impacts both on players and the other sporting actors.

In the competitions people do not only become winners or loosers. They also satisfy their economical and social expectations.

Page 75: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Competitions also be an issue of an effort which reflects ethnic, nationalist, religious and political fight.

POLITICS

Page 77: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

The feeling of winning or losing, the facts which affects players and take players backward or forward seperate sports from games. This is the source of violence in sports.

Page 78: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

The reasons of violence in sports• Social reasons• Individual reasons• Legal reasons

Page 79: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Economical conditions, social environment or family structure can be the sources of individual reasons.

Behaving harshly or resorting to violence is not only practiced by economically and socially underdeveloped class.

Page 81: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

The violence in sports is not restricted by followers. There are also other factors which can be cause of violence. For instance, the behaviours of security officers, directors, arbiters, media members or the inadequate qualities of sport areas can be other reasons for the violence.

Page 82: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Actually, sport does not creates violence. It just mediates people to externalize their instinct of violence. The source of violence is not sport but the people.

IOC rules for citizenship

The Olympic Charter requires that an athlete be a national of the country they compete for.

Page 104: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Dual nationals may compete for either country, as long as three years have passed between when the

competitor competed for his former country.

Page 105: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

However, if the NOCs and IF involved agree, the IOC

Executive Board may reduce or cancel this period.

Page 106: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

This waiting period exists only for those who previously competed for one nation and want to

compete for another.

Page 107: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

If an athlete gains a new or second nationality, they do not have to wait any designated amount of time before

participating for the new or second nation.

Page 108: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

The IOC is only concerned with issues of citizenship and nationality after individual nations have granted

citizenship to athletes.

Page 109: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Reasons for changing citizenship

Sometimes, athletes become citizens of new nations solely for the purpose of competing in the

Olympics.

Page 110: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

This usually happens either because people are drawn to sponsorships and training facilities in places like the United States

or because an athlete does not qualify in their original country.

Page 111: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

This is usually because there are many qualified athletes in an athlete’s home country and they want to be able to participate as well as help the team of their new country.

Page 112: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

 Between 1992 and 2008, there were about fifty athletes that have emigrated to the United States to compete on the US Olympic

team after having previously competed for another nation.

Page 113: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Citizenship changes and disputes

One of the most famous cases of changing nationality for the

Olympics was Zola Budd, a South African runner who emigrated to

the United Kingdom because there was an apartheid-era ban on the Olympics in South Africa.

Page 114: Why did the Greeks begin the Olympics? The Greeks invented the Olympics to please their gods, especially Zeus

Budd was eligible for British citizenship because her grandfather was born there,

but British citizens accused the government of expediting the citizenship process for her.
