FIFA: Corruption In The Soccer World
FIFA is well known throughout the whole entire world, mainly for soccer. What most people do not realize is that this soccer organization is very corrupt.

They are bribed with money countless times by rich countries to host the popular world cup in there country. FIFA has 15 officials charged for corruption. Countries that have hosted the world cups before have had a lack of infrastructure. Fans also protest about cost going up to high for merchandise.

    Public vs Private Funding Private Stadiums

    North America is not alone. South Africa spent $1.3 billion on building and upgrading 10 soccer stadiums for the 2010 World Cup following on the heels of Germany’s 2.4 billion euro investment in stadiums and general infrastructure for the 2006 edition of the event. The Summer Olympic Games require the greatest financial commitment of all the mega-sports events with a typical spending around the neighborhood of $10 billion, but in some instances the sums have far surpassed that amount ( Preuss, 2004). China reportedly incurred costs in excess of $58 billion to host the event in 2008 (Upegui, 2008). Such sums of direct public investment to build infrastructure for private businesses or events are generally rare in other sectors of the economy. For this level of public investment, it is reasonable to ask the extent to which professional sports serve to promote local economic development.…

    Sab 634: A Short Note On Ethics In Sports

    According to David Fairchild, PhD professor of philosophy at Indiana University and opponent of steroids in sports, states without equivocation "[T]he use of performance enhancers is cheating because it violates constitutive rules of the activity. Since such use is cheating, it is wrong and we should expect the disqualification of competitors who are caught doping. This conclusion is established through a simple and straightforward argument. Cheating is the deliberate, knowing, and voluntary violation of certain constitutive rules in order to gain a competitive advantage. Since the violation is knowing, the attempt to gain an advantage is illegitimate and unethical, and the advantage sought is thus unfair. The knowing and voluntary use of proscribed substances is an attempt to gain such an unfair advantage. Some specified performance enhancers, anabolic steroids for example, are listed as proscribed substances in certain sports. The deliberate use of steroids is thus an illegitimate attempt to gain an unfair advantage. We conclude that their use is cheating." (Fairchild, 1992) Fairchild’s entire premise that steroids are unethical is based solely on the rules set forth against them. His argument stems from a decision to ban the substance and not on any medical research. Thus, using his logic, one can conclude that if two seven foot tall adults decided to have a child it would be unethical for him to dominate the sport of basketball because parents knowingly produced a child with the genes to grow to seven feet tall. Henceforth, this would knowingly give him an unfair advantage over the five foot tall individual. Moreover, using this argument, one delves into the area of genetic engineering. Is it ethical through genetic engineering for a women to go to a doctor and virtually pick out the egg and sperm that could yield an amazing athlete and be inseminated? Where is…

    How Is Soccer Corrupt

    What if that person never gets caught? What if that person goes on to fix between 80-100 matches? That is the story of the notorious match fixer from Singapore, Wilson Raj Perumal. Perum started betting on matches at around the age of 19, he got hooked on it fast. He did not like to looe thought, that is when he started fixing matches. He started locally at first, but soon he started fixing matches at bigger and more important events. Perumal says that the internet contributed to his growth. He says, “We could see all these matches around the world ... I had the opportunity to target vulnerable countries ... people who were prone to accept bribes. So I registered a company and started e-mailing associations and building relationships” (Don Riddell). Perumal shows just how easy it is to fix a match now-a-days with all of the technology that we have at our disposal. Perumal had 50 of the 209 associations that FIFA had at the palm of his hand ready to be bribed to fix a match. Perumal blames FIFA for its own problems with bribery by saying that, “Football is no longer a sport. It is more like a business now. So I think we're just trying to make money out of this business. People want to win and they will do anything just to get a result” (Riddell). Treating a sport like a business and putting profit over anything else was bound to land FIFA in some trouble. This is the case…

    Corruption In America

    Human beings are social animals, and we survive through our own efforts and other people’s help. Yet we can also see that indifference exists among us. With the increase of our population number, people seem to be not so willing to help others or care others and this is a problem that should attract our attention. Moreover, with the accumulation of social wealth, people are becoming less motivated or corrupted. In the movie Chinatown, and the autobiography of Carlos Bulosan America is in the Heart, we can find how indifference and corruption play important roles in these two works. Obviously, from a common perspective, it is not right to be indifferent or corrupted, but why people are becoming that way? The aim of this paper is to find those…

    Money: Corruption In The United States

    Money can be like a disease, it goes into parts of society and it destroys and corrupts. First, very often, corruption can be found in sports. Sport is business, and many people just want to make money out of it. Because of it, sports get corrupted, games get fixed and players get bribed. Second, money also gets involved in politics, and it shouldn’t. Many politicians deny that money affects their decisions, but it most likely does. Politics get adulterated when money gets involved and affects judgement. Lastly, political corruption happens in the government. Government officials use their important position for their personal gain. Thus, many big and important parts of our society get adulterated and corrupted because of the power of money…

    Anabolic Steroids Should Be Banned In Sports Essay

    Although the Olympic Committee has been known for corruption and accepting bribes from countries in the past, one major downside of a country during the selection process is how many players have had medals revoked due to cheating. Since Russia has the most with 12 medals taken and the United States of America is a close second with 11 medals taken, the International Olympic Committee is therefore more hesitant in choosing more frequently cheating countries. Hosting the Olympic games is a huge source of income and economic growth due to tourist attractions. It also creates new sports arenas/ facilities which America could always use another football or basketball or baseball team. All of the positive statistics haven’t come true for America since the 2002 winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. If the United States could stay out of the drugs, the odds of hosting a future Olympics would increase…

    Cheating in Sports

    When it comes to cheating in sports, there aren’t actually a lot of ways to cheat. But the two most popular ways of cheating in modern day society is the use of steroids, and the process of blood doping. Although these two forms of cheating are both performance enhancers, they differ in multiple ways; ways such as the goals that the user wants to obtain by cheating, the function of each type, or the athletes’ reasoning for cheating.…
