Intellectual property rights could be discussed in the context of trade names, trade secrets, and service marks and trademarks. As it has already been pointed out elsewhere in this text, service marks and trademarks come in handy in the identification (and hence distinction) of services and products, respectively (Harris 2012)
S. sports law has "comprised the more traditional areas of labor law, antitrust, tort law, contracts law, and others" (Jones 2011)
In addition to working with scores of athletes, Octagon also works with hundreds of corporations, most of them blue-chip entities. One of the key entities Octagon has worked with in the past, according to the organization's president is FIFA (Robinson, 2008)
' As per this common law concept, an individual can bring a lawsuit against another for the unwelcome or unlawful intrusion into the aggrieved party's privacy, which could in this case include the appropriation of the aggrieved party's name for commercial gain, disclosure of private information, etc. When it comes to privacy rights in sports marketing, it should be noted that the said right is not necessarily absolute (Williams, 2009)
The determination creates the competition. And, at the same time, the competition drives the determination for success (Anubhav, 2005)
III- Conclusion A- Societal Role The societal role of sports has been discussed for decades. Sport is a significant part of the society as both an entertainment enterprise and an educational fixture (forum)
The football competition is not only between two teams. (JARVIE, 2002) At international level, it is between two distinct nationalities and two diversified races
Sociology of sport: Sports sociology or the sociology of sport is the study of the association between society and the sports. It studies how values and culture can influence a sport, how a sport in itself can influence values and culture of a place, and the link between sports and politics, media, religion, economics, gender (S, 2005), youth and race etc
e. The observer is looking and recording behaviors, without the notice of the subjects under observation (techniques, 2004)
I am simply observing the football match and the behavior of the players than trying to become immersed in the game. This method is less time consuming and less effort demanding (Wilkins)
' This is not to mention the subtler brutalities of psychological dominance which may erupt, too, in physical violence, or the physical violence that goes the other way, as when, before Bill Parcells brought them together as teammates, the Bears' linebacker Bryan Cox, stunned and upended by the Jets' 300-pound tackle, Jumbo Elliott, went down punching him in the ribs. As they grappled then on the ground, the simple question was this, posed by Elliott with his hands on Cox's throat: 'Do you know who's in control of this situation?' 23(Blau 24) This analogy is also not the first to be expressed, as thinkers from all over the world have seen and developed the idea that organized sports are often a legitimate outlet for the expression of sexual sublimation, which in its worst form, according to Freud can become sexual repression, which leads to total societal breakdown on an individual and mass level
The aggression derived from sexual repression can thus be released (kompensiert) through the athletic achievements and competitions. 24 (Guttmann 68) Like Frued, many modern thinkers have also taken a significant amount of grief when expressing this idea, i
The Brown holding, therefore, effectively enabled leagues in every sport to be as free of antitrust constraints in order to control player mobility and salaries as Major League Baseball has been under its special, long standing antitrust exemption. (Harper, 1997) Conclusion Cases can be made for the rights of the individual to be able to apply for what every position he chooses, without legal barriers to cross
Under [section] 1 of the Act, a conspiracy "must comprise an agreement, understanding or meeting of the minds between at least two competitors, for the purpose of, or with the effect of, unreasonably restraining trade." (Krauze and Mulcahy, 2003) The illegal agreement itself constitutes the offense; thus, neither completion of the conspiracy nor any overt acts furthering the conspiracy need be pleaded or proven in a case brought under the Act
But, says Spencer Haywood, "and I squandered everything." (Ostler, 1988) and he had a great deal to squander, in money and talent
Says Susan Birrell in Women, Sport, and Culture, "it is also clear that sport is strongly associated with the male identity, with being popular and having friends. Rugby and football are archetypical here" (Birrell 35)
While this may be due in part to lifestyle difference, the same study indicates that the primary cause for increased strength is men is thicker muscle fibers, the implications of which are that the physical situation of women is unlikely to change over time. Although women do have certain physical advantages over men -- for instance, the Journal of Applied Physiology ran a study in 1997 that indicated that "women tend to better preserve muscle quality with age" (Lindle) -- as a rule they do not compete at the same level that men do
Communities that are hard-pressed to keep their schools open or police on the beat are nevertheless entering into agreements to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to bid away a professional sports team from another city." (Bast, 1) Here, the article helps to highlight one of the clearest points of controversy in our discussion, which is the notion that many cities have invested in sports franchises that they can ill-afford to subsidize based on false expectations
, and the 36 other cities that hosted professional sports teams over nearly 30 years, was a reduction in real per capita income over the entire metropolitan area." (Coates & Humphreys, p
However, recent research indicates that there may be another problem - and it is one that helmets are not able to protect against. Concussions happen even when players are not hit that hard, and they are a problem because players get hit over and over again during the course of a game (Albergotti & Wang, 2009; Toney, 2011)
