CBP #3: FOOTBALL IN THE USA: A ROLL-UP AND CONSOLIDATION STRATEGY
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to
unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than
governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of
discrimination.” –– Nelson Mandela
The first stage of CBP #3 is a book entitled, The Football Manifesto and Club Handbook: Bringing the Beautiful Game to the People and Making the USA #1 in the World (TFM), which deconstructs not only the motivation behind the formation and ongoing management of The United States Soccer Federation (“U.S. Soccer”), Major League Soccer, and MLS’s revenue generating arm Soccer United Marketing (hereinafter “MLS/SUM”), but most importantly TFM dimensions and places parameters around the regional and global upside potential of a restructured football (soccer) pyramid in the USA, the Americas and globally, and identifies the tools to realize that upside potential.
The second stage of CBP #3 can be found in our GO FUND ME campaign, and in a recent Edge of Sports with Dave Zirin podcast entitled “Mapping a U.S. Men’s Soccer Revolution.”
