Prior to the Bosman saga, football clubs had considerable employment control over their players. The players were registered with the clubs, when a player was moving or transferring from club to another it was the registration document that was exchanged between the clubs involved. In most transfers a fee was demanded from the club which held the registration document of the player concerned.

Equuscorp launched proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria against each of the respondents. Equuscorp’s claims were for “loss and damage” for breach of the loan agreements and for money had and received. The trial judge dismissed Equuscorp’s contractual claim in all eight cases and upheld the restitution claim in two cases. The respondents appealed this decision in the Supreme Court of Victoria’s Court of Appeal. In this appeal, the majority held that the trial judge erred and that Equuscorp was not entitled to restitution. Equuscorp appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal in relation to the three respondents. Its grounds for appeal included that the Court of Appeal erred in deciding: a) that Equuscorp was not entitled to restitution for the unenforceable loan agreements; b) that it was not unjust for the respondents to keep the amounts pursuant to the unenforceable loan agreements; and c) that restitution was not assigned as a right or remedy to recover the amounts under the unenforceable loan agreements.
The legal system is considered a place where justice is served and criminals are sent to prison. However, this is not always the case, as seen with Robert Baltovich, who suffered a serious miscarriage of justice. Baltovich was accused and unfairly convicted for a murder that he did not commit. The investigation into the murder of Elizabeth Bain was unfairly skewed to gain a conviction against Baltovich. The bias against Baltovich, in the murder investigation, and his subsequent trial was a disservice to him and to Canadian society.
An argument can be based on whether or not the NFL should be held liable when players know what a violent sport they participate in. The NFL is 10 Billion dollar a year business and the majority of their income are made through the exploitation of their players (Grove, J 760). The argument can be made that players should seek compensation for injuries because salaries for injured players are not guaranteed beyond the season in which the injury is sustained (Grove, J 760). It has been posed as whether or not the government should step in to help regulate owed compensation. One way the state or federal government can intervene and impose legislative act...

According to the CDC, FAS is the leading cause of preventable developmental disabilities and birth defects. It is not known how many people have fetal alcohol spectrum disorders or FASD of which fetal alcohol syndrome is the most prevalent of the spectrum of disorders. CDC studies have identified 0.2 to 1.5 infants are born with FAS per 1000 live births, (this rate is comparable or higher than rates for other disorders such as Spina Bifida and Down syndrome) another study found FAS in 0.3 out of 1000 children aged 7 to 9 years. The Minnesota Department of Health states that because not all children exhibit facial characteristics, it is under diagnosed and up to 20% of children have been exposed prenatally to alcohol.

Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money needs to be used to for more important services that would benefit the local economy. Stadiums do not help the economy or save struggling towns. There are no net benefits from single purpose stadiums, and therefore the stadium obsessions must be put to a stop.
While looking at these numerous problems I remember at a time my uncle told me that the business of soccer is good business, there is so much wealth to the be tapped if done correctly. The bad transfer system makes it difficult for European based players to move the United States. Average players like Kaka have tried to move to clubs like Los Angeles and have had deal not been able to go through because we have an Americanized sports version of a salary cap, so that everything is fair. In life and sports “Survival of the fittest” so why make an artificial environment that counter to nature? Players who deserve high wages like superstars deserve it and should have to suffer for one who performs subpar. These caps makes superstars like Kaka, Fran...
Sports transformed into a business where profit was the main concern. “As the pecuniary returns of the game increased, the value of the individual player was enhanced: the strength or weakness of one position made a difference in thousands in receipts, and this set the astute managerial mind at work” (Ward 315). This pertains to baseball, football, basketball and any other sport today. The more money a person could make off the game, the more significant the players became. The players were the ones making the money for the owners or the gamblers, and so many of these people no longer saw the person in the player, only the prowess in the player. The players soon began to be thought of as property and were often coerced into giving their permission to be traded to another club. “[T]he buying club bought not only the player’s services for the unexpired term of the contract, but the right to reserve or sell him again” ( Ward 315). Clubs claimed that this right to the player’s prowess was necessary to conserve the game and so many clubs abused this idea and ignored getting the player’s

Money has always been a part of soccer's history. Players would move for bigger and better wages all the time throughout history. Especially during the height of soccer in the United States and the NASL. As time progressed more clubs began to buy out players contracts from their teams in a way of transferring big names to the team. Soccernomics, by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski, describes how purchasing players for mass amounts of money became the norm in the soccer world today. Kuper and Szymanksi studied the influence of transfer market changes from 1978 to 1997 finding that, “transfers explained only 16 percent of their total variation in league position. By contrast, their spending on salaries explained a massive 92 percent variation” (48). This is due to the fact that when players are paid higher salaries they settle in with the team better knowing that the team is putting trust in them; instead of constantly buying new players and messing with team chemistry. Teams spend absurd amounts of money on players that statistically wi...
While sports for the spectators are merely entertainment, the economics of the industry are what drives businesses to become involved. Sports have become more of a business entity rather than an entertainment industry due to the strong economic perception of the over all industry. There are several instances in which economics may contribute to the effect on the sports industry, such as: the success of a team, the price of a ticket, the amount of money an athlete will make, and the amount of profit a team will make. The success of an...
The requirement for a solitary body to supervise football association got obvious at the start of the twentieth century with the expanding fame of international matches.

The founder members were the national organizations of Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Additionally, on that same day, the German Association pronounced its interest of affiliating through a telegram.
