Trying His Luck At Puck: Examining Mlbpa History To Determine Don Fehr’S Motivation For Agreeing To Lead The Nhlpa And Predicting How He Will Fare, Jeffrey Frank Levine, Jordan I. Kobritz

Jeffrey Frank Levine

On June 22, 2009, after twenty-six years as the Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players’ Association (MLBPA), seminal labor leader Donald Fehr announced his retirement. Fehr’s tenure at the MLBPA was marked by extreme highs – the average player salary increased from $241,000 to over $3 million – and lows – the cancellation of the 1994 World Series after the players went out on strike.

Shortly after announcing his retirement from the MLBPA, Fehr agreed to assist the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) in revamping its constitution and finding a new executive director. For much of its …

This Field Is Our Field: Foreign Players, Domestic Leagues, And The Unlawful Racial Manipulation Of American Sport_Tulane Law Review, N. Jeremi Duru

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Introduction: During the last several decades, international athletes' presence in professional American sports has reached unprecedented levels. Not all premier professional American sports leagues, however, accommodate internationalization to the same extent. While the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Major League Baseball (MLB) do not impose limits on international entrants into their leagues, Major League Soccer (MLS) does. Under a policy established at the league's founding in 1996 (the MILS Policy or the Policy), no MLS team may stock its twenty-person senior roster with any more than eight international players.

Social Psychology, Calamities, And Sports Law, Michael Mccann

Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines the role of situational pressures, fundamental attribution errors, and legal frameworks in how professional sports actors respond to the threat and occurrence of calamities. Both natural and manmade threats to American health are likely to rise over the next decade. Such threats may include catastrophic weather, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and communicable disease pandemics. In response to these threats, professional sports leagues, professional athletes, fans, and media might engage in unprecedented behavior. Consider, for instance, increasingly-devastating weather patterns, and how they might animate leagues to relocate franchises to cities with more favorable forecasts. The same outcome might …
