Should Public Money be Used to Subsidize Professional Sports and Sporting Venues?
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that both individuals and city governments who are eager to have a professional sports franchise located in their city list numerous reasons why public dollars should be spent to entice a team to come to town or stay in town -- increased employment opportunities, greater revenue for the city, quality of life considerations for locals, and, of course, civic pride. But the question is whether or not tax dollars should be used to entice teams to locate in a city, build the arena necessary to house the team, or upgrade an arena or park because the team threatens to move elsewhere unless the city does so. In a sense, once the city gets its franchise it is held hostage by it. This paper looks at several sides of the issue. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Sports Agency Law
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses the legal role of the professional athlete’s agent and the evolution of sports agency. Negotiation, in any form, is primarily the art of getting another person or organization with an opposing opinion or interest to agree to a new set of criteria or demands. Such is certainly the case in professional athletes’ negotiation with team owners, potential sponsors, or any other entity determined to take advantage of an individual athlete’s skill and/or popularity. As a result, a great deal of legal controversy regarding the role of the agent, appropriate behavior, and legality have all come into the business of professional sports.

Sports Agents' Roles and Likely Influence of Legal Changes
[ send me this essay ]
A 23 page paper discussing what sports agents do and some of the questionable practices they use in doing it. Though there are only 1,800 players in the NFL, there are 900 registered agents, most of whom have no one to represent. The competition between them is intense, and many choose not to adhere to NCAA and other regulations. Sports agents appear to know where to draw the line for themselves, where further breach of regulations and ethics will begin to negatively affect their incomes and potential incomes in the future. With the ability that agents currently have to circumvent existing regulations, it is likely that those determined to be unscrupulous would not long be deterred by weightier restrictions that do not also change the system by which agents operate.
