This book tracks the profoundly evolving world of sports law. This evolution is seen in myriad ways ranging on all sorts of topics: questions now abound in sport about gender, the use of prosthetic devices, whether a touchdown celebration be copyrighted, or how sports gambling will be regulated. Indeed, the law is constantly changing to keep pace with the rapidly evolving world of sports. This book analyzes both traditional areas of sports law, such as contract law, labor law and violence in sports as well as new developments in sports, such as players' privacy rights in the data derived from high-tech athletic apparel and more. Further coverage is given to new emerging issues such as unionization of college athletes, genetic manipulation of athletes, CTE, e-sports, horseracing, social media, concerns around disabled athletes and performance enhancing drugs, as well as sports law's increased involvement with stadium financing, sports gambling, and more. Written by a business school professor, it engages the student with real-world examples and cases and includes case law that should bring the world of law into focus for a wide range of students.
