This new collection examines not only how athletes looked to the
nation's judicial system to solve conflicts but also how their
cases transformed the interpretation of laws. These essays examine
a vast array of social and legal controversies including Heywood v.
NBA (1971), which allowed any player to enter the draft; Flood v.
Kuhn (1972), which considered baseball's antitrust status; the
Danny Gardella lower level 1948 case regarding free agency and
baseball; Muhammad Ali's celebrated stance against the U.S. draft;
Renee Richards's 1976 lawsuit against the U.S. Tennis Association
and its due process ramifications; and human rights violations in
international law with respect to the increased recruitment of
underage Latin baseball players in the Caribbean region are a few
examples of the vast array of stories included. Sport and the Law
links these cases to other cases and topics, giving the reader the
opportunity to see the threads weaving law and sport together in
American society.
