League vs Player: The Battle Off the Field

Ballroom CD
98 San Jacinto Blvd

From deflated balls to domestic violence to "bounty" scandals to performance-enhancing drugs, off-field controversies have led to high-profile battles between professional sports leagues and their players. Are leagues and players destined to collide or is there a better way to resolve internal disputes? This panel will explore the business, sports, legal, policy and social issues raised when leagues investigate and discipline their own players and will also examine the overall relationship between leagues and their respective players associations.
