Book Description

0763736503 978-0763736507 February 4, 2010 1
The business of sports has become a multi-million dollar industry with legalities in sports leading the way. Sports Law looks at major court cases, statutes, and regulations that explore a variety of legal issues in the sports industry. The early chapters provide an overview of sports law in general terms and explore its impact on race, politics, religion, and everyday affairs. Later chapters address hot button issues such as gender equity, drug testing, and discrimination. Written from a sport management perspective, rather than from a lawyer s, this text covers all the major areas presented in sports law today including: cases relating to torts, contracts, intellectual property, and agents. Factual scenarios throughout the text allow students to critically examine and apply sport management principles to legal issues facing the sports executive.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sports Law (Paperback)
I bought this book for cheap. Thanks Amazon! My school was selling it for a lot more than I paid for it. It's a solid book for those looking for an introduction to sports law. The book also provides great real-life examples of cases in sports.
