The majority of this textbook discusses the approach of the major sports leagues to labor and anti-trust disputes, and as such, it throws a lot of anti-trust cases at you, regardless of whether or not you have the background. If you haven't taken anti-trust in law school yet, this book may demand a lot from you and it will be a challenge to keep up. That said, it does a decent job of compiling all the important cases that address this area of law.
Great!
I had the good fortune of taking Sports Law with Professor Ross himself but this textbook is extremely well written. It does a great job of appeasing both academic scholars and avid Sports Fans who are probably taking the class because it sounds interesting by including relevant "Sportscenter-esque" stories that will make you recall back to the major developments from your childhood. It often feels like law school courses are very academic in that you don't know how you would apply these concepts to real life, but this textbook does a great job in helping Students to understand the basics of a lot of different areas of the law (antitrust, labor, etc.) and understand how they might be used in a real situation. I'd highly recommend the book.
As described. .. very good seller.
