,INTRODUCTION
For this assignment, I have to describe, explain and evaluate the
effects of four contemporary issues on a selected sport. The sport
that I have chose is football. The four contemporary issues that I
have chose and that I will mention in the next few slides will be
deviance, racism, commercialisation and gender issues.
, DEVIANCE - GAMBLING
Gambling has had a big impact on football and it surely has changed it.
football fans gamble on this sport, this is probably because out of the se
companies all of them have options to bet on football matches and they
all advertised worldwide. They are even at football games, as most stad
have a betting company present at the game and allow the fans that ca
to watch the game to bet on the match. This all persuades fans to have
at it, even though it might seem like it’s fun, it can really affect people i
long-term effects, one example is by making them addicts, which mean
they would bet high amounts of money many times during a week.
