Foul Ballin': How Some Pro Athletes are Violating Hazardous Activities Clauses of their Player Contracts While Unwittingly Supporting Wildlife Trafficking
Episode 26
Wednesday, 7 July, 2021
This episode is Carney Anne's presentation for the 2021 Symposium on Sports, Animals, & Ethics. Many don't know that Carney Anne has a degree in sports law and previous experience working with an NFL team's legal department. So, in this unique opportunity to participate in the intersection of sports law and animal law, Carney Anne delivers a timely discussion about the trend in pro-athlete encounters with tigers and other big cats at roadside zoos and how these encounters not only further exploitation of endangered species and contribute to the exotic pet trade, they technically violate common league rules and contract provisions that are meant to prohibit players from engaging in dangerous activities off-field, off-court, off-pitch, or off-ice. Thanks to symposium directors Profs. Sam Morris (University of Miami-Ohio) and Gabriela Tymowski-Gionet (University of New Brunswick) for allowing this cross-post.
