These range from elite level to amateur. One famous example is the case with Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra, Suarez racially abused Evra this subsequently meant Suarez transfer value decreased due to him being 'a bad egg' so in business terms Liverpool's prized asset came down in value.]]> 2016-12-15 19:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/143932041 joshshelley01 https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/143942438 A big gender discrimination case is the USA mens v womens football world cup bonus to win, the women who won the tournament received 1.8 million however if the mens team were to win they'd have got 9.6 million, numerous women players have took the matter to court.

One example of an impact is that of the employers, an example of the employers feeling the impact would be through fines and potential prosecution. Another example is the impact it has on the employee's if an employee is caught discriminating especially at the workplace they might get sacked for the company they work for. The final impact is the impact it has on its customer, no one wants to hand money to people that discriminates against other or maybe you yourself, so the customer would start to avoid this company resulting in a serious loss of revenue.]]> 2016-12-15 20:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/143954956 joshshelley01 https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/144007781 An Act to prohibit the opening of large shops on Christmas Day and to restrict the loading or unloading of goods at such shops on Christmas Day. 
This Act was put into place to protect workers. For example sports bussiness shops such as Sports Direct is forced to shut on christmas due to the size of its shops. ]]> 2016-12-16 09:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/144007781 joshshelley01 https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/144009341 This Act has had a very positive affect on employees as they get to have a day of rest and spend Christmas with their families. Employees also would not have to use one of their holiday days as this is a bank holiday. 
However in some businesses, employees must come in, such as in professional football. It is very normal for a professional football player to be in work on Christmas Day. This is as they normally have a game on the 26th or the following day.
It is also normally for other athletes to also train on Christmas Day.  For example here is a video of the boxer Antony Joshua training on christmas day]]> 2016-12-16 09:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/144009341 joshshelley01 https://padlet.com/joshshelley01/fjuvfbu54ipy/wish/144012746 An example for this is football fixtures, although there isn't games currently on Christmas Day, some believe it will an annual occurance in the future.

But why such a difference? Within football the Football Association in 1920 received thousands of complaints from males and females saying they didn't feel football was appropriate for females even though they received a similar attendance to men.
