Fans, What We Can Imagine! -- Notes -- Index Fans of baseball, football, basketball, and hockey have long been exploited and oppressed by the monopolistic practices of team owners. The time has come for a revolution in the organization of major U.S. sports! Fans of the World, Unite! is a clarion call to sports fans. Appealing to anyone who is in despair due to the greed and incompetence of team owners, this book proposes a significant restructuring of sports leagues. It sets out a rational program for a revolution that will serve the best interests of the fans and of the sport itself. But Stephen F. Ross and Stefan Szymanski are no Marxists: they show how a revolution in the organization of sports might even benefit the owners. By harnessing the power of markets, sports leagues can be made both more responsive to the needs of the fans, and more efficient. Ross and Szymanski have spent many years evaluating the ways in which leagues work across the globe. Drawing on their extensive study of leagues, the authors boil down their plan to two major reforms. Borrowing from NASCAR, they propose that team owners should not own sports leagues as well. Rather, league ownership should be separate. Their second proposal is drawn from soccer: introduce competition through a promotion and relegation system. In this type of system, the worst teams in the league are kicked out at the end of the season and replaced by the best performing teams in the next division down. This gives poor performing teams incentive to step up their game, and allows fresh blood to enter the leagues if the poor performers fail to do so. The main goal of these reforms is to align the financial interest of those who own the league with the best interests of the fans and the sport. Having laid out the problem and the solution, the authors skillfully address practical implications of introducing their scheme, suggesting how leagues might at least make some changes, if not all of those suggested. The time for change has come! Armed with this book, and with fairness on their side, fans can set forth to begin a revolution.Professional sportsEconomic aspectsUnited StatesSports team ownersUnited StatesMonopoliesUnited StatesCompetitionUnited StatesProfessional sportsEconomic aspectsSports team ownersMonopoliesCompetition338.4/77960973Ross Stephen F.1955-1481923Szymanski Stefan1960-285840MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778207103321Fans of the world, unite3699216UNINA04562nam 2200937 450 991079410370332120220921231042.01-64469-383-61-64469-357-710.1515/9781644693575(CKB)4100000011347307(MiAaPQ)EBC6261118(DE-B1597)546683(DE-B1597)9781644693575(OCoLC)1175911874(EXLCZ)99410000001134730720201104d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEntangled interactions between religion and national consciousness in central and eastern Europe /editor, Yoko AoshimaBoston :Academic Studies Press,[2020]©20201 online resource (216 pages)Lithuanian studies without borders1-64469-356-9 Front matter --Contents --Acknowledgements --Introduction --Uniate Martyr Josaphat and His Role as a Confessionalizing, Integrating, and Nationalizing Influence --Conversion and Culture in Russia’s Western Borderlands, 1800–55 --Religion in the Rhetoric of the 1863–64 Uprising --Orthodox Christianity Emerging as an Ethical Principle in School Education in the 1860–70's --The Roman Catholic Clergy and the Notion of Lithuanian National Identity --The Nobility in the Lithuanian National Project in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century: The Approach of the Catholic Clergy --Praising Christ, Serving the Nation: The Ideology of the Catholic Newspaper Biełarus (1913–15) --Defining the Public Sphere through Cultural Boundaries: Creating a “Czech” National Society in Nineteenth-Century Bohemia --“Building” Nationalism: St. Elisabeth’s Church in Lemberg --Local Governance and Religion in the Kingdom of Poland, 1905–14: Multireligious Relief Actions for Unemployed Workers in Łódź --Max Weber and Eastern Europe: The Religious Background to Modern Nationalism --IndexThis book elucidates the complicated relationship between religion and national consciousness in the modern world, highlighting various cases in Central and Eastern Europe. Though those analyses, the authors show how religion, far from disappearing, strongly impacted the emerging national consciousness. Starting with the pre-modern era in this region, the book examines the long-term transformation of religious, political, and social situations of the region. In addition, the book considers the impact of imperial powers, which tended to be linked with a universal religion. It finally sheds light on the multifaceted nature of nations in this region, which contributes to evoke a new vision of the historical transformation of the region that enriches the general theories of nationalism.Lithuanian studies without borders.NationalismEurope, CentralHistory19th centuryNational characteristics, Central EuropeanEurope, CentralPolitics and government19th century19th century.20th century.Baltic states.Belarus.Catholicism.Central Eastern Europe.Christianity.Czech.Empire.Habsburg.History.Lithuania.Orthodox Church.Poland.Reformation.Romanov.Russia.Soviet.USSR.Uniate.borderlands.class.clergy.confession.ethnicity.historiography.identity.modernization.nationalism.politics.pre-WWI.religion.religious tradition.resistance.rites.social science.NationalismHistoryNational characteristics, Central European.943Aoshima YokoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794103703321Entangled interactions between religion and national consciousness in central and eastern Europe3817771UNINA
