Man Marking - Episode 10 - Dr. Dan Parnell

Episode 10: The changing landscape of sport: Football as a medicine, football as a business, and its place in our community.  Dr. Dan Parnell is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Business at The University, as well as being one of the founders of The Football Collective and CEO of The Association of Sporting Directors.  We spoke to Dan about the responsibility Football clubs have towards their communities and their supporters, as well as viewing Football as a medicine, a way of connecting people.  Dan's academic background allows us to delve into the idea of Football as a business, with particular reference to the current economic climate caused by the Covid-19 outbreak, and the impact austerity has had on the relationship between Sport and public health.
