January 10 prizes were awarded the Golden Ball (players, not the company that gets most goals) and the winner in the category of player was Lionel Messi, Argentine-English who plays for Barcelona.
The other two finalists in the competition were Iniesta and Xavi, both English, also from Barcelona and members of the selection winning the World Cup. Three outstanding players.
The world press and especially the English has been strongly criticized the decision to award the prize to Messi and Iniesta and Xavi not alleging, inter alia, that Messi did not win the World Cup, which had won the award the previous year and one year was not ideal. But above all the press and the English public are injured because he did not win any English in the peak year, history of English football.
The explanation is simple when compared with awards for sustainability. Consider the case where sustainability reporting vote "readers." Not repeat the arguments we have made in other articles, but we all know that the "readers" do not read. If the competition is international, or vote for your country or vote for companies that "have heard of." Not investigate whether the vote was as I do seriously. They vote based on their perceptions at the time.
Voters in the Golden Ball are a bit more than just "readers" and is supposed to play, train or manage soccer. But neither do everything nor do the findings of the case. It based on what they have seen or heard (in this case the nationality factor should matter because voters are too scattered around the world.)
Who has not seen the goals from Messi and over again on television, in the news, on YouTube?
Who has seen the passing of Iniesta and Xavi, or control of the party, repeated over and over again? Few. Broadcasted not only spend their goals. Everyone knows the goals from Messi, few know the soccer Xavi and Iniesta. The big plays of Messi, who missed the goal is not relayed. The goal is all that counts. Not won a game based on completed passes.
Who took the ball to large area to do wonders and tuck Messi goal? Who made all previous work? Why Messi scoring goals for Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith Xavi and Iniesta, and not marked with Argentina? (Apart from that the coach is not the same!).
There is the similarity between the sustainability awards and the Golden Ball do Those who vote based on superficial perception is not an exhaustive analysis.
But there's more. As sustainability awards for its selection criteria and how to apply are not very explicit. What do you mean "best"?
Those who vote for sustainability reporting, as well know the subject, should demonstrate that they have read all the reports that are in the contest and be clear about the criteria on which to select the best.
The voting for the Ballon d'Or, should demonstrate that they saw no fewer than 10 full games with the three finalists and be clear about the criteria on which to select the best
To vote is to be studied, you have to make task ... ... ... .. and have clear rules.
