Clube-empresa: um modelo em questão: uma análise histórica do modelo esportivo profissional adotado no Brasil, frente ao desenvolvimento orgânico do resto do mundo.

Abstract

This work talks about the discussion between the business model of professional sports, in regard to the club-company, proceeding with a historical cutout of sports development as recreational activity culminating on its professional practice as a means of entertainment, as well, of the development of professional sports in Brazil through the legislation that regulates it, showing the contraposition between the Non-Profit Civil Association model, majoritarily adopted by most brazilian soccer clubs and the new model of club-companies, already adopted in the United States Of America and Europe with great success for years. Reaching the conclusion that the model adopted in Brazil, since the New State is a child of an elitist vision of sports as an amateurish practice that is in mismatch with the current professional sports scenery.
