Targeting the Athletic Industry
Sporting events around the world are increasingly becoming targets for the global terrorist network. Since the murder of 11 athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972, the U.S. State Department has uncovered more than 170 different plans to attack public sporting games. Sports events are such an attractive target for terrorists because they are always accompanied by massive media coverage, provide potential for thousands of deaths in a single strike, wreak economic and political damage and present a situation where security measures are often compromised by the need to provide quick and easy access to paying ticket holders.

Throughout the last several decades, terrorists have failed to carry out a mega attack during a sporting event, but athletic industries around the world understand that increasing security at public events is now more critical than ever.
