Donald Sterling. Ray Rice. The Washington Redskins. The Miami
Dolphins. NCAA Athletes. These names, among countless others, have
blanketed the headlines as the media has brought global attention
to several recent sports controversies. Now, Kenneth L. Shropshire,
The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania professor of
Legal Studies and Business Ethics and Director of the Wharton
Sports Business Initiative, uses these stories as a prism for
exploring the leadership challenges facing team owners, management,
players, and fans. In Sport Matters: Leadership, Power, and the
Quest for Respect in Sports, Shropshire examines the need for
diversity, inclusion, respect, and equality in sports, focusing on
the need for leadership to embrace and deliver these principles in
a real and tangible way within the sports industry. He also
introduces the Sports Power Matrix, a framework for understanding
power within the sports industry. Sport Matters addresses what the
Donald Sterling drama can teach us about race and the need for
inclusion at the ownership level; the lessons learned from the NFL
and Ray Rice case; the Washington Redskins name and the economics
of change; what the Miami Dolphins matter tells us about respect in
the workplace and beyond; and compensation and equality in
"amateur" sports. Sport Matters, filled with disturbing revelations
and uncomfortable truths, also provides hope, revealing how
obstacles to achieving an ideal culture of equality and respect
within the sports industry can be removed. Shropshire argues that
while change matters, continued emphasis on diversity, inclusion
and respect is needed to create true progress.
