Gambling is a significant global industry, which is worth around
0.6% of world trade, that is, around US$ 384 billion; and gambling
on the outcome of sports events is a very popular pastime for
millions of people around the world, who combine a bet with
watching and enjoying their favourite sports. But, like any other
human activity, sports betting is open to corruption and improper
influence from unscrupulous sports persons, bookmakers and others.
Sports betting in the last ten years or so has developed and
changed quite fundamentally with the advent of modern technology -
not least the omnipresence of the Internet and the rise of on-line
sports betting. This book covers the law and policy on sports
betting in more than forty countries around the world whose
economic and social development, history and culture are quite
different. Several chapters deal with the United States of America.
This book also includes a review of sports betting under European
Union (EU) Law. The book appears in the ASSER International Sports
Law Series, under the editorship of Dr. Robert Siekmann, Dr.
Janwillem Soek and Marco van der Harst LL.M.
With an accessible approach free of legal jargon, Introduction to
Sport Law With Case Studies in Sport Law, Third Edition, provides a
comprehensive examination of the fundamental legal issues commonly
found in sport and sport management. Even students with little to
no legal background will understand law topics relevant to the
sport industry through the text’s straightforward examples and
case studies that demonstrate sport law theory through real-world
applications. Organized to cover all law categories that are most
critical to the management of sport, the text first presents an
overview of the United States legal system, including the court
system, the various types of law, and legal resources. Students
will then explore important topics such as risk management,
employment law, gender equity, intellectual property, and
constitutional law, examining the relevance of the law at hand to
real-world applications across the field of sport management. This
updated third edition allows students to increase their
comprehension by looking at laws and issues through timely, modern
points of view. New content reflects important topics and current
legal issues, including the Equal Pay Act; the Sports Broadcasting
Act; athlete safety and equipment concerns; name, image, and
likeness (NIL) laws; antitrust litigation, unionization, and
collective bargaining; and transgender athlete participation in
sport. The updated content addresses contemporary challenges to
constitutional law, including the First Amendment and Fourteenth
Amendment, and it examines how budget problems related to COVID-19
resulted in cutting sports and raised Title IX issues.
End-of-chapter discussion questions and In the Courtroom sidebars
have been updated with current examples to better demonstrate
modern applied perspectives. Moot Court Case sidebars now have
accompanying questions on hypothetical scenarios, allowing students
to understand the technicalities of sport law in practical
application. Each chapter of Introduction to Sport Law, Third
Edition, also directs students to relevant cases in the included
ebook, Case Studies in Sport Law, Third Edition, by Andrew T.
Pittman, John O. Spengler, and Sarah J. Young. Featuring abridged
versions of 93 court cases, all carefully curated to provide
real-life applications representing many of the multifaceted
aspects of sport law, the ebook also includes review questions for
each case to test comprehension and prompt in-class discussion.
Through its focus on legal concepts with direct application to the
world of sport, Introduction to Sport Law, Third Edition, provides
students with the information they need to feel confident with the
fundamentals of sport law. Note: This ebook includes both
Introduction to Sport Law, Third Edition, and Case Studies in Sport
Law, Third Edition. Â
Often the university is seen as a hothouse of anti-Christian bias.
Every other belief system, no matter how exotic, seems to receive
more respect and support than historic Christian belief. Yet even
in this environment, steadily and certainly, men and women of faith
have continued to hold and grow in their confidence in Christ. Here
are the stories of twenty-two such Christian faculty, who tell in
their own words the difference that Christ has made in their lives
and their work. Respected and accomplished in a variety of academic
disciplines, these believers have come to a strong understanding of
their faith within their professions. They have wrestled with the
issues of a complex world and found meaning and purpose through
their spiritual journeys. These very personal stories offer
thoughtful models of how faith can not only survive but thrive in
the university world.
