Corruption among sport officials in early Israeli football / Carmi, Udi; Levy, Moshe   Journal Article
Levy, Moshe Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores the roots of football corruption in Israel in the first decades after independence. A socio-historical analysis of documents, correspondence, and newspaper items reveals the key role played by sports officials in corruption in the football industry. More broadly, the article shows that the historical context and a political model of commitment to political centres in which sports in Israel in general and Israeli football in particular operated constituted fertile ground for unorthodox conduct and practices that undermined the integrity of football matches. These findings challenge various theories that argue that corruption in sports has universal features that are independent of specific historical, social, cultural circumstances.

Militarisation of Israeli sport management in the 1950s and 1960s / Carmi, Udi   Journal Article
Carmi, Udi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article discusses the involvement of active service IDF officers in managing central Israeli sport institutions during the early years of the State of Israel. The IDF officers’ activity in sport bodies encouraged the types of sports that served army interests and developed the construction of sport facilities and their maintenance. The involvement of army officers in managing sport institutions in Israel will be explained as part of the military sphere’s penetration to Israel’s managerial sphere in its formative years and as a reflection of the importance given to the IDF as a unifying factor, placed above political considerations.

They’re all gone: death trap at the “cheerful games” / Carmi, Udi; Levental, Orr   Journal Article
Levental, Orr Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Munich Olympic Games were an opportunity to present to the world the ‘New Germany’. It was clear to everyone that the shadow of the Berlin Olympic Games would follow the Munich Olympic Games at every stage. This article deals with West Germany’s attempts to erase Berlin 1936 from the public consciousness and to redesign Germany’s image as a cosmopolitan, peace-seeking nation. Designing the new German image included innovative architectural design of the Olympic complex, concealing the prominent landmarks associated with the Nazi regime, visual design of the games in cosmopolitan spirit and opening ceremony without national pathos. Most notably absent were the armed security personnel at the Olympic village due to the fear of association that might be evoked by armed German soldiers. Yet reality struck the Germans in the face. The ‘New Image’ failed to hide the political disputes that arose during the games. The event was fraught with scandals with political overtones in addition to the massacre of the sportsmen by a terrorist organisation. The Games will forever be remembered due to the massacre and the rest of the scandals that occurred therein.
