Public Relations for Winning Sports Teams
Public relations for a winning sports team might sound easy but actually it is not that easy. The reason is because when you are winning everyone is trying to knock you down and as your players become more successful and popular, the media looks at them with more scrutiny and if something minor happens the media can blow it out of proportion.
If your team is losing and one of your players gets a drunk driving ticket then no one seems to notice, but when your team has been winning all season even if an assistant coach gets a DUI it could become big news and hurt the image of the team.
Some people say that all in news is good news. But when you are running a professional sports team that is not necessarily the case. And when you are out winning the paparazzi is out to get you and they get a lot of money for those photos when you make a mistake too.
How can a public relations team come up with a public relations strategy which takes all this into consideration and still develop community goodwill in the middle of crisis management? Is not easy but with the right team behind the scenes it is possible.
Public relations for a winning sports team when done correctly can fill up the stands and when done incorrectly it really does not matter to the public if you are winning or losing because the media has got you by the balls. Please consider all this in 2006.
