A sport under the influences of economy and politics

Nowadays, sports are not only affected by aspects out of the sports world itself. Increasingly more influences come from fields which normally stay in no connection with sport in general. Just think about  political influences. For example take the current debate about the prohibition of freedom of speech during the Olympic Games in China.

 

But sport is not only affected, it also affects other fields of interests. From a social-economic perspective for example, sport can contribute to a better development of regions for tourism. Therefore a positive social-economical influence is the result.
