The Classic Games Creating Sports Economy

By Daily Sports on October 12, 2018

The Classic Games is initiated with the target purpose of creating a sports economy. This was revealed by the Games Director, Macaulay Maduwuba, in a live chat on Rave TV.

Sports in developed and developing parts of the world is a huge sector of the economy providing employment for sportsmen, women and officials who choose to do only that because it is a financial sustainer for them; including non-participating persons.

Those who play sports and do other jobs do that not because of interest but pressure and fear for instability.

In the US, almost every sport is an absolute employer of labour: Basketball (NBA), Soccer (MLS), Football (NFL), Hockey (NHL), Baseball (MLB), Athletics, Boxing, Rugby etc.

All over Europe, there is the Champions League in several sports: handball, rugby, table tennis, lawn tennis, football: the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A; and many other others numbering in tens and hundreds.

Sports engages and employs millions of people around the world who do nothing else but compete, entertain spectators and win laurels.

In Nigeria and Africa – with the exception of few countries in the North and South regions – this economy is comatose and almost non-existent.

With The Classic Games 2018, we want to turn rereate sports as an alternative to the growth of the economy of individuals and enrichment of lives through the involvement of sport persons, corporate organisations and institutions in the tournament.

Players of Chess, Darts, Draught, Scrabble, will, for the first time, have a glimpse into the future economy of sports as an enabler of occupational business and financial sustenance.

In the progress of the tournament which will expand into other sports, subsequently, we want to have all sports persons concentrate on improving their skills and profession to better their performances so that they can deliver optimally at the centre stage because it is sustaining their yearning for relevance, recognition and enriching their pockets, economically.

The thriving global sports economies are empowered by the involvement and participation of corporate sponsorship, investment and funding; the same applies to The Classic Games.

The partnerships of DailySportsNG (www.dailysportsng.com/thelassigames2018), 93.3 Hot FM Lagos, Rave TV and resource support from The Spelling Bee Challenge and Lagos State Sports Commission, have enhanced the organising and planning framework of Macwrites for The Classic Games 2018.

Corporate organisations are then urged to support the economy of growth through Sports with sponsorship of the tournament.
