Although Spain took home the title and the trophy, there is a lot of controversy over who the real winners are in 2010's World Cup. Did South Africa's investment of time and tax dollars pay off? Will it ever? Or did the huge multinational companies who sponsor the World Cup, like Coca-Cola, take advantage of the host nation.

34338 Future Trends in Televised Sports
The most dominant future trend of televised sport exists in the manner in which sporting programs are brought to the public. Over the last few decades the alterations in cable and satellite television have created a new framework for what can be viewed on television and the audiences that are targeted for that viewing. Free traditional programming on the other hand, has become an arena that carried with it staunch criticism and that attempts to manipulate the world of sports to conform to societal expectations ("Future of Sports", 2006, sec. 1). One manner in which this occurs is through the advertisers that have historically supporting sporting events. Beer, soda and fast food companies, however, are often condemned for their sponsorship of programming on traditional channels because children have access to the commercial content. This has caused these advertisers to begin to back away from their support of sporting events and for sports leaders to consider that when they loose sponsorship they are loosing funding that keeps their sport alive ("Future of Sports Markets", 2006, sec. 2).

The two most prominent approaches are marketing through sports and sports related marketing strategies and the actual marketing of sports events and sports related activities themselves. In this regard, the present research study offers an overview of marketing, sports marketing and the characteristics that generally define these topics such as endorsements, signage, print media, broadcast media, and Internet and web-based new media channels. Although both prominent aspects of sports marketing are important and are reviewed within the context of this research study, the actual marketing of sports and sports related activities receives the majority of attention. This research project examines the various sports marketing strategies within international sports with particular emphasis given to tennis. This study employs a mixed-method methodology involving both quantitative and qualitative methods. As such, the literature review plays a prominent role in the research. The quantitative aspect involves the use of an electronic questionnaire to gather primary data for analysis. The research question posed asks how often print advertisements are utilized for sporting events as well as how many athletes receive compensation for appearing in commercials compared to Internet and web-based marketing collateral used for marketing sports events.
