Sports law in the United States
Law and regulations that relate to Sports / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For rules of sports, also called "laws", see Laws of the Game.
Sports law in the United States overlaps substantially with labor law, contract law, competition or antitrust law, and tort law. Issues like defamation and privacy rights are also integral aspects of sports law. This area of law was established as a separate and important entity only a few decades ago, coinciding with the rise of player-agents and increased media scrutiny of sports law topics.
