Unfortunately in Romania there is only one soccer club that is doing sports marketing. Also two federations are really strong in their actions: rugby and athletics. I am thinking at changing this by promoting more the needs of a marketing person at every federation, club, or other sport company. I am just finish… Continue

Howard Brodwin Cardinals' Manager Tony LaRussa is suing Twitter?

Mashable is reporting on a recent lawsuit filed by St Louis Cardinals' longtime skipper Tony LaRussa against Twitter.

We all know there will always be the overzealous fan who likes to instigate and mak… Continue
