Sports figures cope with a level of celebrity once reserved for the
stars of stage and screen. In Game Faces , Sarah K. Fields looks at
the legal ramifications of the cases brought by six of them--golfer
Tiger Woods, quarterback Joe Montana, college football coach Wally
Butts, baseball pitchers Warren Spahn and Don Newcombe, and hockey
enforcer Tony Twist--when faced with what they considered attacks
on their privacy and image. Placing each case in its historical and
legal context, Fields examines how sports figures in the U.S. have
used the law to regain control of their image. As she shows,
decisions in the cases significantly affected the evolution of laws
related to privacy, defamation, and publicity--areas pertinent to
the lives of the famous sports figure and the non-famous consumer
alike. She also tells the stories of why the plaintiffs sought
relief in the courts, uncovering motives that delved into the heart
of issues separating individual rights from the public's perceived
right to know. A fascinating exploration of a still-evolving
phenomenon, Game Faces is an essential look at the legal playing
fields that influence our enjoyment of sports.
