Todd Boehly Wants Red Bull-Style Network Of Clubs For Chelsea And Suggests Premier League All-Star Game
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly caused a stir across the world of soccer after speaking at a SALT conference in New York last week. It is rare to hear an English Premier League owner speak so openly in public about their club and its place in the wider landscape of the sport, but Boehly said the quiet parts loudly last Tuesday. In this candid conversation, the new Chelsea owner covered topics including the challenges faced by a Premier League club owner, soccer’s global reach, building a network of clubs, signing and developing players, and the differences between owning an American franchise and a global soccer club. Boehly’s suggestion of an all-star game in the Premier League, in particular, made the headlines . “Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports,” he said. “Why wouldn't we do a tournament with the bottom four teams, why isn't there an all-star game? … [Read more...] about Todd Boehly Wants Red Bull-Style Network Of Clubs For Chelsea And Suggests Premier League All-Star Game

Clearing The Path To A More Diverse Workforce
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Shutterstock At the end of college, I had a final interview for a job with a national consulting firm that had reserved guest rooms at a country club near campus. The rooms were tiny and — unfathomably — had no chairs. So, in the most awkward half-hour of my nascent professional life, both the interviewer and I sat uncomfortably on the king-size bed. The other notable thing about that interview — albeit dwarfed by the louche setting — was that we talked about little of substance other than the fact that a 40-something man and a 20-something man were sitting together on a hotel room bed (which was so weird, nothing else seemed remotely as substantial).
