Politics in sport can be seen throughout the many leagues and different sports across the world. Soccer is one of those sports that has continually been seen promoting their players and spending money in a way that manipulates their audience and their fans. For example, the Spanish Premier team Real Madrid has begun work and started rumors based on the creation of a private island totally devoted to the fans and organization of Real Madrid. The island alone would cost millions of dollars to buy, and then with the building and staffing that would have to be done to create this resort, would put the dollar deficit into the billions. Now sports are a big deal to people, and soccer is especially big when it comes to the European population, but a private island resort based solely around a single soccer team seems incredibly ridiculous.
My ad deals with soccer and Christiano Ronaldo, along with the overall theme that has to deal with athletes being overpayed to play like other athletes of the same caliber. I will try to implement politics into my ad by talking about the new Real Madrid Island in the ad, and on how Ronaldo is just another attraction in this massive financial conglomerate. I feel like the politics of the sport take away from the actual quality of the game, and this will be a perfect way to demonstrate it.
