Commercialization in Sports

Commercialism in sport is about making a profit from sport. It is


when sport is put on display and advertised for money. Some form of
commercialization of sport has been a thing since the beginning of
sport itself, but since the development of the entertainment industry
it has gone to a completely different level. This involves three main
groups: Sport, media and sponsors.
