Paris, after a damp start, is sprinting through the games - but at what cost? Closed bars and cafes behind security barriers, fewer visitors in the run-up to the Olympics, and a massive bill for all the building-work and administration. The money from the tickets and broadcast rights goes to the International Olympic Committee, so will the city benefit at all? Many venues are turning down the chance of staging big sports events like this because the costs - social as well as financial - outweigh the gains, and can land cities with huge debts. So what is the answer? Leave it to the money-no-object venues like Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Or spread a games over several countries? Or have one permanent venue, funded by all? Professor Simon Chadwick of SKEMA Business School in Lille tells Phil and Roger how hosting the Olympics needs an overhaul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 92! Saudi Arabia's sporting ambitions and investments have been dominating global coverage of the Kingdom in recent months. The 966 speaks with Simon Chadwick, Professor of Sport and Geopolitical Economy, SKEMMA Business School, Paris, about all of the interest and investments by Saudi Arabia and Gulf nations into global sports. Professor Chadwick has consulted for and advised some of the biggest names in sport, such as FC Barcelona, UEFA, Adidas, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Before that, the hosts discuss a recent article in Newsweek by a previous guest of The 966, David Rundell, about some facts around Saudi Arabia's real role in 9/11, and why context matters. Then the hosts discuss all the latest with NEOM, including a recent interview given by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Discovery in English. The hosts conclude as always with Yallah! 6 top storylines to get you up to speed heading into the weekend. 5:22 - Richard's One Big Thing is drawing attention and giving credit to a recent op-ed in Newsweek by a previous guest of The 966, David Rundell. Rundell and Gfoeller argue that Saudis "never made up the majority of al-Qaeda's leadership or membership. Below Osama bin Ladin, al-Qaeda's leadership was primarily Egyptian. Al-Qaeda's foot soldiers came from across the Muslim world with North Africans, Indonesians and Pakistanis contributing far more than Saudis. Saudis were used to carry out the 9/11 attacks primarily because it was far easier for them to obtain visas to the United States than it was for their Egyptian or Pakistani colleagues....Nor did al-Qaeda's political agenda originate in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Islam has a long tradition of puritanical intolerance which has most often been directed against the religious practices of other Muslims. Within Saudi Arabia, the religious scholars have an equally long history of condemning terrorism, especially when it involves suicide."24:01 - Lucien's One Big Thing is discussion of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's remarks to a Discovery Channel documentary on Neom and all the other developments that happened in Neom in just the past two weeks. Lucien shares the comments that the Crown Prince made, which demonstrate his enthusiasm for the project and the genesis of the design and need to provide a new, global city for Saudis. Also recently, NEOM has announced that it has finalized contracts with investors for the first phase of its residential communities' expansion, a social infrastructure project that will house the region's growing workforce, and signed a deal with a global yachting brand, a major Saudi media organization, and more. 38:38 - The 966 speaks with Professor Simon Chadwick.

Featured Speakers: Professor David Des Roches (moderator), Dr. Diana Galeeva, Dr. Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, Professor Simon Chadwick, and Dr. Paul Michael Brannagan. Synopsis: The six Arab states of the Gulf Cooperation Council have each affirmed the use of “soft power” as an essential part of their overarching national strategies. Soft power, as outlined by American international relations scholar Joseph Nye, refers to the use of diplomatic and cultural tools in order to promote a country's image abroad and improve its international relationships—usually contrasted with “hard power,” or the pursuit of foreign objectives via direct coercion and military force. Each of the six Gulf states has sought to bolster their international reputations through soft power: each has pursued regional and international mediation efforts, made substantial investments in sports—perhaps best exemplified by Saudi Arabia's LIV golf tournament and Qatar's hosting of the FIFA World Cup—and highlighted domestic art and cultural programs. This strategy has clearly had positive impacts for the GCC states' international relations and their perceptions around the world. However, the use of soft power has also come with controversy. International human rights organizations have accused the six GCC states of using achievement in diplomacy, culture and sports to cover up domestic struggles with political freedoms and labor rights. In particular, the six states' ambitious sports programs have led to accusations of “sportswashing,” or promoting sports development as a way of distracting from human rights concerns. What is the status of soft power in the six GCC states? Has it been an effective tool of statecraft? What benefits are associated with the use of soft power? Have there been any drawbacks to its use?

Liverpool Football Club's foray into NFTs branded a disaster

Premier League football club Liverpool is reeling after its six-day Sotheby's auction ended on Monday, having sold just 9,721 out of an available 171,072 NFTs. The LFC Heroes Club Collection is described as cartoon avatar depictions of the Liverpool squad. Token holders are granted “access to a range of ongoing benefits.” “Holders have access to a members-only LFC Discord community chat channel where they can interact with other passionate LFC Heroes Club members. Additional benefits include virtual hang-outs, competitions, guest appearances, updates from the LFC Foundation and LFC retail discounts.” In addition, a percentage of the proceeds will go to the LFC Foundation. This independent charity provides support in the local area (and beyond) for sports activities, health and wellbeing, and youth interventions, among other aims. In recent times, gamers have made it clear they don't welcome NFTs due to the potential monetization strategies they offer game developers. Based on the poor uptake of the LFC Heroes Club Collection, sports fans hold a similar view. LFC Heroes Club NFTs The LFC Heroes Club Collection was available as part of a two-tier auction. The “Legendary” auction featured 1/1 NFTs of the 23 squad members plus first-team manager Jürgen Klopp. All 24 Legendary lots were sold, with Mohamed Salah fetching the highest price, at $88,200. Followed by Lot 1: Jürgen Klopp raising $81,900. The “Hero Limited Edition” auction made up the remaining 171,048 NFTs. This range also features the squad, but each NFT varies according to the background color and “Match Mode, Fresh Mode and Super Mode traits.” The asking price for Hero Limited Editions was $75. And with 9,697 sold, revenue generated comes in at $727,275. Of which 10% will go to the LFC Foundation. The revenue generated by the Legendary auction comes to $745,290. Of which 50% will go to the LFC Foundation. All in all, LFC Heroes Club earned Liverpool Football Club a total of $1,472,565 ($1,027,193 after charitable contributions). This falls way short of the projected sales figure of $11.2 million. What does the community say? Liverpool Football Club was keen to stress that the LFC Heroes NFTs operate on the energy-efficient Polygon blockchain, making the Collection environmentally friendly. “We have chosen to mint all LFC Heroes Club NFTs on Polygon, one of the most energy-efficient blockchains. Creating an NFT on Polygon has the same carbon impact as sending just 2.5 emails, which means LFC NFTs consume 99.95% less energy than projects on Ethereum.” However, in conjunction with the charitable element, this wasn't enough to rouse sufficient interest in the project. The Director of Centre for the Eurasian Sport Industry, Professor Simon Chadwick, claims that single buyers purchased multiple NFTs, making the sales figures even worse than initially thought. It appears that although just under 10,000 Liverpool NFTs have been bought, the number of buyers is significantly less than 10,000. In several instances, single buyers have bought multiple NFTs, further calling into question the number of people in total who have made a purchase Professor Simon Chadwick (@Prof_Chadwick) April 4, 2022 Football Journalist David Lynch said the club had been weighing up the pros and cons of releasing an NFT collection for some time. But in the end, they opted to go, ahead despite the drawbacks, for reasons of financial gain. Liverpool have spent a long time assessing external sentiment around NFTs in recent months and were warned about potential harms to investors/the environment but proceeded anyway. Presumably the financial gain outweighs any backlash as far as they're concerned. David Lynch (@dmlynch) March 24, 2022 An examination of grassroots sentiment shows there is enormous skepticism towards digital assets. Common themes include NFTs being a vehicle for tax evasion, copying pictures is the same as owning the NFT, and this being a money grab for Liverpool Football Club.

As a writer, academic, consultant and speaker in the global sport industry, Simon  has particular expertise working at the intersection of sport, business, politics and technology, especially in a Eurasian context.We stir the pot with Simon on a range of topics, including:- What fascinates him about Asia through the lens of sport- The sweeping impact of the 'Giga trend' of digitalisation- The Chinese football dream: soft power and what football can learn from basketball- Taxis, sports stores and constant vigilance: his hacks for human understanding- 'I'm not a number I'm a free man'... losing sight of the person behind the fan in an industry consumed by data- Dream team:  just who comes to study sport at business school, and why?- The complex relationship between sport and brand purpose.And as ever, we wrap things up with our quickfire round, Brand Burns.
