A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Sport of Kings
In my years of teaching, I've never talked about the sport of polo...until now. 60 Minutes had a great story on the world's best polo player.
I learned that polo was relatively popular 80 some-odd years ago. Now it's a sport dominated by people that sit at $50,000 tables to watch.
The most interesting item in the video was the fact that a team's sponsor will play with the team. Imagine an NBA owner (besides Michael Jordan) or NFL owner suiting up for his team!
