   BUSINESS OF SPORTS
   
   If the only thing you know about sports is who wins and who loses, you are
   missing the highest stakes action of all. The business owners that power this
   multibillion dollar industry are changing, and a new era of the business of
   sports is underway. From media and technology to finance and real estate,
   leagues and teams across the globe have matured into far more than just back
   page entertainment. And the decisions they make have huge consequences, not
   just for the bottom line, but for communities, cities, even entire countries.

AIRLINES WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX THEIR POLLUTION PROBLEM. IT’S JUST GETTING WORSE

Hundreds of millions of new passengers are coming, and there’s no solution in
sight.

Environmental activists recoil for a reason when the super-rich fly private
jets to forums that preach carbon neutrality. Airplane pollution levels really
are going through the stratosphere and nobody seems to have a viable plan to
rein them in.

While energy generation and agriculture currently dwarf aviation’s 1.3 percent
share of all human-caused greenhouse gases, emissions from air travel are
accelerating many times faster. That puts the industry on track to become the
single biggest emitter of carbon dioxide within three decades if the predicted
cuts in other sectors materialize, data and projections from UN agencies show.
