The Power of Sports: People, Places, Power
summary
Sports claim to be uniquely universal and community-building while the industry actually shifts: media power decentralizes, athletes become the power, and sponsorship moves from logo placement through content and data toward ownership. Examples: Tokyo is postponed then runs with no spectators, Beijing triggers human‑rights scrutiny, Paris delivers concrete legacy (half‑hour school sport), Milano‑Cortina stages events across six venues, and LA promises a more commercialized model; Allianz cites a 20‑year Paralympic commitment as strategic brand ROI.
