Non-profit vs profit sports

Both profit and nonprofit sports organizations has one important aspect in common. That aspect is
sports, sports has the ability to bring people together and unite communities. In my opinion there
are certainly more pros from the non-profit side compared to the profit organizations. The reason for
my statement is because the non-profit sector serves more of a purpose and helps communities whom
are struggling for no capital benefits. (Volunteering Australia, 2005: no page). The profit sector is
more about chasing money which is against my morals and believes. I don’t believe that money
should ever be a driving force as it is materialistic. Instead uplifting a community and volunteering in
order to benefit other people’s lives resonates with me much more.

Although there are common grounds there is differences which includes the nonprofit organization
getting significant funding from the government whereas the profit sports don’t get much funding
from the government. Helmig, B., Bärlocher, C. & von Schnurbein, G. (2009, pp 2-5). The profit
sports have a much better financial status than the non-profit organization. The non-profit side
however excels with regards to price structure. The profit organization focuses more on the finer
detail which includes program quality, employee qualifications and this organisation also generally
has better strategies.
