Reviewer 2 Report

This is an interesting paper and I enjoyed reading it. However, there are essential weaknesses that need to be addressed.

 

1) The introductory/opening section should communicate a little clearer the literature gaps, as well as the study's aims & objectives in order to facilitate the flow of the study.

 

2) Overall there are good arguments and well researched points made in this paper, but I feel that author needs to take to a further level.  

 

I strongly recommend that you include the following references focused on the target journal and on the paper’s topics:

3) The research is well-developed.

 

4) At the end of the ´Conclusion´, the author should include clear statements as to where research should now go.

 

5) Carefully check the references, so as to make sure they are all complete and follow the Guidelines to Authors.

 

6) Finally, when you submit the corrected version, please do check thoroughly, in order to avoid grammar, syntax or structure/presentation flaws.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to read the paper.

Reviewer 3 Report

The area of ​​CSR in sport is increasingly presented by the academic world, hence the idea of ​​presenting the J-League and the Chinese Super League is correct.

Unfortunately, the purpose, method of using the methods and the achieved results mean that the document presented for review is more of a "report / analysis" than a scientific article.

Method: - the author says that he used, among others (1) literature review and (2) expert interviews, in the case of 1. - the literature used includes only 41 sources, some of which are not scientific articles; (2) lack of information about the course of the interviews (what target group, what purpose). The author himself says in verses 569-570 that the results do not have to be consistent with reality due to the lack of detailed research.

The structure of the article is chaotic and you often get the impression that the content is the author's thoughts and not a solid scientific basis.

Summary, the structure and, most importantly, the content of the article are not suitable for publication in a scientific journal.

Dear Authors,

thank you for making changes. Please expand the methodological part (describe the research methods in more detail). Scientific items have been added to the literature review, but there are no additional sentences (2 sentences have been added without specifying the source) - this part of the work should be strongly strengthened.
