Question 6
Crisis Scenario: The Star Player Controversy
{30 points)
You are the public relations manager for a professional basketball team that has been
embroiled in a controversy involving its star player. The player has been accused of making
derogatory remarks about a minority community during a private conversation that was leaked
to the media. The remarks have caused outrage among fans, sponsors, and community groups,
leading to calls for the player's suspension and boycotts of team merchandise.
Your task is to develop a comprehensive crisis management plan to address this situation and
mitigate its impact on the team's reputation and brand image. Your plan should include steps
for immediate damage control, communication strategies for addressing stakeholders'
concerns, and long-term measures to rebuild trust and restore the team's reputation.
