DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://popcornclubshanghai.com/event/disagree-should-s
 ports-be-commercialised-45941/register">DisAgree: Should Sports Be Commerc
 ialised?</a>\nWhat happens when something people love becomes a billion-do
 llar business? You don’t need to know anything about football—or sport
 s at all—to recognise the tension between passion and profit. The recent
  World Cup reignited arguments about whether major sporting events have be
 come as much about money\, sponsors\, broadcasting rights and political in
 fluence as the competition itself\, alongside continuing controversies and
  allegations around corruption. But would the enormous sporting spectacles
  we know today even be possible without business behind them? Does commerc
 ialisation destroy something beautiful—or provide the money that allows 
 it to flourish? And can an industry involving this much money and power ev
 er realistically be free from corruption? Join Clayton\, an international 
 award-winning debater and debate coach\, for a lively debate using sport a
 s a fascinating case study for much bigger questions about money\, fairnes
 s\, culture and power. You’ll tackle motions such as “The commercialis
 ation of sport has done more harm than good\,” “Major sporting events 
 should never be hosted for profit\,” and “Professional athletes are pa
 id too much\,” while learning to build arguments\, challenge assumptions
  and respond persuasively to opposing views. Whether you’re a passionate
  sports fan or couldn’t name five football players if your life depended
  on it\, you’ll have plenty to argue about. No sports knowledge or debat
 e experience is necessary—just bring your opinions\, curiosity and willi
 ngness to defend a side. 当人们热爱的东西变成一个十亿美元
 的生意时，会发生什么？你完全不需要懂足球——甚至
 不需要懂体育——就能看出激情和利润之间那股张力。
 最近的世界杯再次点燃了争论：大型体育赛事是不是已
 经变得跟比赛本身一样，甚至更多是关于钱、赞助商、
 转播权和政治影响力？同时还有围绕腐败的持续争议和
 指控。但如果没有商业在背后撑着，我们今天看到的那
 些盛大体育场面还可能存在吗？商业化是毁掉了某种美
 好的东西——还是提供了让它繁荣起来的钱？而一个涉
 及这么多金钱和权力的行业，真的有可能完全远离腐败
 吗？ [...]
