Local Competition
In the town of Landsberg, like many other small southern Bavarian towns, football has never been the dominant sport. The local ice hockey club, EV Landsberg 2000, currently playing in the 2nd Bundesliga (II), is much more popular and successful. Against this, the TSV has a hard stand in attracting support and sponsorships.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or competition:
“Resorts advertised for waitresses, specifying that they “must appear in short clothes or no engagement.” Below a Gospel Guide column headed, “Where our Local Divines Will Hang Out Tomorrow,” was an account of spirited gun play at the Bon Ton. In Jeff Winney’s California Concert Hall, patrons “bucked the tiger” under the watchful eye of Kitty Crawhurst, popular “lady” gambler.”

“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
