Answer to Question 1

The basic purpose is to attract fans to buy tickets to games and to motivate them to buy related merchandise to generate a profit.

Answer to Question 2

Over the years, the U.S. international trade position has eroded substantially, and the U.S. share of world exports has declined precipitously from 25 percent in the 1950s. This has occurred mainly because other countries have expanded their trade activities. U.S. export growth was not able to keep pace with total world export growth.
