Public Policies for footabll athletes and fans: arguments for disidents

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze to what extent and how the main laws and documents that support the Brazilian public policies for football athletes and fans establish and sustain relations of domination. For this, we rely on the literature available on the subject. In order to access to this literature, we made a review of the literature in several databases, where we used keywords that varied according to the mode of the databases organization and local terminology. Among other things, we conclude that these public policies maintain the domination of clubs and entrepreneurs over the athletes and the domination of the State over fans – especially, over the organized groups of fans.
