When people think of high revenue businesses they might think of the entertainment industry or the transportation industry but what they often leave out is the sports industry. According to plunketresearch.com, "the estimated size of the sports industry in 2010 was about 414 billion dollars with the NFL being the sport bringing in the most revenue." This is why people and students in general should study sport. This industry is full of jobs and opportunities and should be at the top of more people's " that's what I want to be when I grow up" lists. Now I'm not talking about being a professional athlete, slim few get to play at that level. I'm talking about management, with the proper education more people could get into this field and make it bigger that what it is today. Also with the advancements in technology more jobs are being created at the professional, collegiate, and high school levels. The top 3 sports leagues bringing in revenue are the NFL which is bringing in 7.8 billion dollars, the MLB is bringing in 6.8 billion dollars, while the NBA is bringing in 4.0 billion dollars.
As a sports management major here at Slippery Rock University I can say that I am glad to be in the field that I am. There are lots of opportunities to learn how to how you can compete for a job in your favorite sport. We learned this concept about the sports industry on the first day of class because this is mine and my classmates major and this is the career that we want to get. The sports industry will always bring in money because people love to watch and compete in competitive and violent sports, not only is that who sports fans are but that can be said about the nation as a whole. With these facts the sports industry will always be one at the top.
