If you are in the world of soccer, you have probably heard of Emiliano Sala and how he went missing on a flight over the English Channel. Sala was an Argentinean soccer player that player fro Nantes in France. He was about to make a switch to Cardiff City in England when his plane disappeared over the English channel at about 3:15 local time. The plane was later found, and unfortunately the two passengers, Sala included, did not survive. When looking at the stakeholder analysis for a situation like this, there are very few people who could have both power and interest in the flight.  This means the only “players” would be the pilot and Sala, as no outside source had the power to control the plane or change the course of the flight. In the “subjects” box, there would be both soccer clubs, Cardiff City and Nantes, as one was buying the player and one was selling him. Nantes would have received over 10 million euros for selling him and Cardiff would have received a player they coveted.  Other “subjects” would be the fans for each club and the family of Sala as each would have wanted him to stay alive and the fans would have loved to see him play for his club. There wouldn’t be any “context setters” in this situation as nobody wouldn’t be interested in this situation while still holding power in it, as only Sala and the Pilot held power in this situation. Finally, the “crowd” would be people that don’t watch soccer and soccer fans of other teams, who might be sad to see him pass but really don’t have much interest in it. Neither of these groups would have any power in this situation. This media was shared all of the world via twitter, Instagram and multiple news outlets like ESPN and CBS. I found this on twitter, but heard about it in multiple other ways.
