Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic brought a disruption to daily life and to the sport industry not seen before by generations of consumers. The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of three external factors (i.e., perceived State/County opening phase status, work status and sheltering status) along with consumers’ past spectating behavior on their intentions to attend live sport events in the near future. In this examination, we controlled for COVID-19-related beliefs, as well as for consumers’ emotional states (i.e., scared, optimistic). Data were collected from 382 Amazon Mechanical Turk respondents. The findings revealed how external factors happening due to a crisis (i.e., pandemic) and past spectating behavior influence consumers’ intentions to attend live sport events. Furthermore, beliefs and emotions related to the threat of COVID-19 sport spectators’ intentions to go to live sport events in the COVID-19 era.

Abstract This special issue was inspired by the challenges faced by sport managers in our global community in the face of the economic downturn. During the calls for the special issue, society faced one of its most unprecedented challenges, COVID-19. This provide significant shock waves to the daily rituals in sport and society. The manuscripts in this special issue provide an insight into sport management during this period. The research presented is both rich and diverse and we believe provides readers and the global sport management community with important contributions for reflection and learning from a policy, management and practical level.

Abstract This study seeks to identify the impact of a commercial turning point in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in 1999 and the 2013 takeover by the current promoter’s media strategies. Drawing upon 21 qualitative interviews with key stakeholders in the WRC coupled with theories of institutional logics, mediatization and strategic legacy, the findings demonstrate that the decisions and culture of the sport can be powerful as the new owners seek to influence the direction of sport in their own image. Sport managers who are dealing with change processes and sport management researchers should identify where an organization’s self-reinforcing mechanisms and processes exist in order to balance sporting tradition with organizational culture.

Abstract We applied a three-dimensional panel data model of individual match attendance, while controlling for all nuisance variables affecting the home team, visiting team, and season, to the panel dataset of the Italian football league from 2000/2001 to 2016/2017. We attempted to construct a European-specific attendance regression model that takes into account the ‘open’ league structure, as well as inter-league competitions. In particular, we consider three types of outcome uncertainty: game uncertainty, relegation uncertainty, and Champions League qualification uncertainty. Our empirical results do not support the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis respect to game uncertainty and Champions League qualification uncertainty. However, the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis cannot be rejected with respect to relegation uncertainty.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of athlete’s performance level and their severity of transgression on individuals’ attitudes and willingness to forgive a transgressed athlete from a brand management perspective. Using an experimental study design, two sets of data were collected for Study 1 (n = 205) and Study 2 (n = 347) to test three hypotheses. The results of Study 1 showed that an athlete’s performance level had a main effect on participants’ attitudes (H1) and willingness to forgive (H2). In addition to confirming H1, the results of Study 2 confirmed that there was an interaction between an athlete’s performance level and severity of transgression on participants’ willingness to forgive (H3). The participants showed a higher level of willingness to forgive an athlete with an extraordinary performance level when it came to a minor transgression. The results suggest that high-performing athletes might be able to enjoy a less harsh response for a minor transgression but not for a major transgression. Overall, our work points to the foundation of a possible model that companies can employ in predicting consumer reactions after athlete transgressions in the context of an athlete’s endorsement.
