...Ouch. The wrist-slap comes at the worst possible time for Chicago. The IOC and the USOC were already squabbling about the USOC's share of sponsorship and broadcast revenue: the IOC wants to reduce the funds flowing to the U.S., while the Americans are resisting.

Although commercial revenue dipped as a share of Madrid's takings in 2007-08 - the departure of Englishman David Beckham, who helped increase merchandise profits 137% during his four years with the club, had a lot to do with that...
...people have an increasing amount of time and money to spend on leisure, more and more fans like Wang Yuyu are getting involved in building the game, though it is not an easy business. It took Wang almost six months to find sponsorship for this year's Huilongguan Super League. "I do worry about how far we can go," admits Wang. "We grew up watching football and we love this game.
