Modern CSR management and activities have advanced considerably throughout most industries over since the late 1990s. However, it has only gained recognition in the sports management literature very recently, and models to evaluation CSR programs and activities in the sports context hardly exist. Hence, we conceptualize a CSR Performance Scorecard based on literature on CSR and sports management as well as empirical exploration into particularities of the football business. Relevant to scholars and managers alike, this paper seeks to motivate the strategic CSR engagement of professional football. This is achieved through an innovative and context-specific way for its organizational measurement along quantifiable economic, integrative-political and ethical-emotional dimensions.

It is worth to keep in mind a quote from the inimitable Dr Seuss and his famous ‘Cat in the Hat’ when developing further research “Oh, the things you can find, if you don’t stay behind!”. In order to do so we need to be thinkers of great things and keep progressing because there are plenty of elements in the world to discover, which can be best seen if one gets out in the fore front and faces things head on.
