Considering the economic slowdown that is occurring worldwide, what do you think is the future of all organized sports in general and Soccer in particular?

I think  we'll start to see some clubs start to go under when the banks call in their loans. It's already happening in the lower leagues in English football, but I can see it happening in the Premiership.

It seems everyone and everything being affected by this phenomenon.  Let's just hope there's still bright future for organized sports.  I am sure the fans are there to give support.

During the Great Depression, a number of professional sports teams saw their attendance increase.  When the economy is bad, people look for escapism.  So, it may not affect professional soccer teams significantly.

When I worked for a sports news company, it was considered an insult to call european football 'soccer'.  We US people have it all backwards, lol.

But yeah, with a recession,  sports events actually do pretty well.  A form of escapism, definitely.
