Playing the Field: - Why Sports Teams Move and Cities Fight to Keep Them

Informationen zum Autor Charles C. Euchner has taught in the Department of Political Science at the College of the Holy Cross. A former journalist, he was educated at Vanderbilt University and the Johns Hopkins University.. Klappentext According to Charles Euchner, the power of sports franchises is due, at least in part, to their overall economic insignificance. Since the demands of a franchise do not directly affect many interest groups, opponents of expensive stadium projects have difficulty developing coalitions to oppose them. The result is that civic leaders tend to succumb to the blackmail tactics of professional sports, rather than developing and supporting sound economic policies.
