Professional Sports Team – Play For Keeps

April 26, 2008 - PRLog -- Professional sports team is what brings recognition, fame and money to a player who has chosen this sport as a career. Along with other business and commerce, professional sports team generate the highest revenue for a country, and have an organization backing them up in all their en devours. In a survey conducted recently, it was found that nearly $15 million was the total revenue from professional sports. The main players in this are those in National Football league (NFL) and National Basketball Association (NBA). The National hockey league (NHL) and of course the Major league Baseball  (MLB) have their share to contribute in this revenue as well. Some of the players who are renowned  are said to bring in highest income with the sponsors and contracts they sign. However, other sports such as motor racing, golf and tennis are yet to feature in this industry. The mode by which teams earn is through matches that are played where the stands are filled with enthusiastic audience, and by TV viewer ship as well. If a team is from a smaller league, they work harder in marketing the team and its players.

The minute a sports player chooses to take up that particular sport as his line of career and plays full time, he is called a professional player and teams that are managed by companies are called professional sports teams. They bring in support from crowds, companies that want to use the players to promote their products and services and of course by putting on a good fight against opponent teams. If their performance on the field is good, the fans will mount whereas if they show poor performance and are not consistent, they could even get thrown out of the team. There are  many players who sign contracts with teams to play for a season and then move on to another once this is completed. Else there would be those players who are not stable or reliable in their performance and so might be sold to other teams. This is a common sight in Football leagues, for players to be swapped between teams.

Recently, the team of Inter Milan sold their star player Hernan Crespo to Chelsea, prior to which they had the same thing with Ronaldo. Each player has an agent who will negotiate a deal with the team that is interested in them and if things are suitable to both parties, the contract will be signed. This is how these team operate and at the end of the day, all that matters to them is which player brings in most revenue and is most popular. In Professional sports team, the players all get to quote a price depending on how famous and valuable they are to the team. This way they earn a steady income for themselves and add value to the team they are associated with. Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Stockings, Chicago reds, Florida Marlins and Kansas City royals are some of the professional sports team in baseball leagues.
