Law and Sport in Contemporary Society, Paperback / softback Book

Law and Sport in Contemporary Society Paperback / softback

Edited by Steven Greenfield, Guy (University of Westminster, UK) Osborn

Part of the Sport in the Global Society series

Paperback / softback

Description

As the commercialization of sport grows, the need for proper regulation increases.

In legal terms, sport is part of the entertainment and media industries which are subject to rapid change.

This work brings together experts in many fields to analyze these changes and to discuss the implications of issues such as the BSkyB-Manchester United case, civil and criminal actions on the playing field, the "Bosman" ruling, drugs in sport, the legality of boxing and the validity of decisions made by governing bodies.

This collection should appeal to students of both sports history and sports sociology.
