Week 10
Topic: Sport Laws
Introduction
Physical education has a lot of professional hazards, so it can be regarded as one of the riskiest professions. Physical educators should be knowledgeable about many liability cases that have to do with sports organization e.g. negligence, tort, misfeasance, etc. Physical educators should be aware of what should be done to avoid legal liability.
Sports Law encompasses a multitude of areas of law brought together in unique ways. Issues such as antitrust, contracts, and torts are quite common. For further information in these areas see:
- Antitrust
- Contracts
- Tort
Sports Law can be roughly divided into the areas of amateur, professional, and international sports. The distinction between a professional and amateur athlete is somewhat tenuous. So-called “amateur” students/athletes at universities often receive scholarships and other forms of compensation. Also, keep in mind that even though an athlete may be defined as an amateur by one organization, he or she may not be an amateur according to another. Of course, this leads to even more confusion. A simplistic, yet useful definition is that amateur athlete participate in sports as an avocation while professional athletes are involved in sports as a vocation.
