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

These titles, among countless others, have blanketed the news as the media has taken global focus on several recent sports controversies. Now, Kenneth L. Shropshire, The Wharton School of the School of Pennsylvania teacher of Legal Research and Business Ethics and Director from the Wharton Sports Business Initiative, uses these stories as a prism for discovering the leadership difficulties facing about Sport Matters: Leadership, Power, and the Quest for Respect in Sports activities team owners, management, players, and fans.

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

Sport Issues addresses what the Donald Sterling crisis can teach us about race and the need for inclusion in the possession level; the lessons discovered through the NFL and Ray Rice case; the Washington Redskins name and the economics of modification; the actual Miami Dolphins matter tells us about respect at work and beyond; and payment and equality in “amateur” sports activities.

Sport Matters, filled with disturbing revelations and uncomfortable truths, also provides hope, revealing how obstacles to achieving an ideal tradition of equality and respect within the sports industry could be removed. Shropshire argues that while transformation matters, continued focus on variety, addition and respect is required to create true improvement.
