Donald Sterling. Ray Rice. The Washington Redskins. The Miami Dolphins. NCAA Athletes.

These titles, among countless others, have blanketed the headlines as the media has taken global attention to several latest sports controversies. Today, Kenneth L. Shropshire, The Wharton School of the School of Pennsylvania professor of Legal Research and Business Ethics and Director of the Wharton Sports Business Effort, uses these tales as a prism for exploring the leadership difficulties facing about Sport Matters: Leadership, Power, and the Quest for Respect in Sports team owners, administration, players, and supporters.

In Sport Issues: Leadership, Power, and the Quest for Respect in Sports activities, Shropshire examines the necessity for diversity, inclusion, respect, and equality in sports, focusing on the necessity for leadership to embrace and deliver these principles in a real and tangible way inside the sports industry. He also introduces the Sports Power Matrix, a construction for understanding power inside the sports industry.

Sport Matters addresses the actual Donald Sterling episode can teach us about competition and the need for inclusion in the ownership level; the lessons discovered through the NFL and Ray Rice case; the Washington Redskins name and the economics of change; what the Miami Dolphins matter tells us about respect in the workplace and beyond; and compensation and equality in “amateur” sports.

Sport Matters, filled with disturbing revelations and uncomfortable truths, also provides wish, revealing how obstructions to achieving a perfect tradition of equality and respect inside the sports industry can be removed. Shropshire argues that while transformation matters, continued emphasis on variety, addition and respect is required to create true progress.
