About this product
Product Information
Americans, brought up playing or watching sports, absorb the notions of fair play not simply as integral themes of sportsmanship on the field, but also as values they try to carry into their everyday lives. In this accessible and fascinating look at law and sports, Roger I. Abrams shines the lights on the uniquely complex and important legal issues that face both amateur and professional athletes. From cases involving Title IX, transgendered athletes, rights of the disabled, violence on the playing field, individual and franchise free-agency, amateurism and college sports, and responsibility of leagues for the safety and lifelong health of injured players, Abrams weaves a profoundly moving and immediately relevant story of ever broadening access to, and expanding rights within, the field of sports. Abrams illuminates these legal cases through compelling storytelling and personal explorations of those involved, such as Jeremy Bloom, the world champion mogul skier who was barred from playing college football because he had modeled clothes for Tommy Hilfiger, and Casey Martin, Renee Richards, and the young gymnasts from Brown University who sought access to the sports they loved, but found that their quest to achieve justice required judicial intervention. There is also one non-athlete: Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, who beat the National Football League cartel using the antitrust laws in his effort to gain the respect he was always denied. Written for sports fans and legal scholars alike, this is an engrossing and surprising story of people battling for their careers and lives, and in the process changing the very nature of sports and society.

Recommended., "In Sports Justice, Roger Abrams offers a compelling and dynamic analysis of major sports law controversies over the last century. Abrams reveals how these controversies underscore broader conceptions of justice and how those conceptions, like sports, evolve over time. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Sports Justice offers readers invaluable insight into the relationship between sports disputes and fundamental notions of fairness. Sports, as Abrams convincingly details, reflect as much about social attitudes as they do about the games that are played."--Michael McCann, professor, Vermont Law School; legal analyst and SI.com columnist, Sports Illustrated "Both students and practitioners in the legal and business areas of sports can enjoy and learn from Sports Justice. Deeply grounded in law and relevant to the business of sports, it combines insights and information about issues across the realm of sports--from gender equality in sports competition to franchise relocation to player free agency--that will interest those who manage, participate in, and follow sports."--Professor Stephen A. Greyser, Harvard Business School, creator of Harvard's Business of Sports course, "Prof. Abrams wrote the book for sports fans who also read something other than the sports section of their newspapers. The book covers matters involving amateur athletics and pro sports - - including several previous matters involving the NFL."ÑThe Sports Curmudgeon
