1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent text for a comprehensive look at sports law. Professor Wong has made some excllent changes to his already successful Essentials text. The addition of five new chapters (including Antitrust, Labor, IP, Business: Structures, Tax and Employment, and Disabilities) from the second edition demonstrate that Wong is on the cutting edge of the intersection of law and sports. The shift in focus from solely amateur issues to the addition of professional sports law topics ensures that the text will be an invaluable resource for sports law courses on the undergraduate, graduate, and law school level. The narrative format of the book, with case notes at the end of each section, makes the book very readable. The tremendous breadth of topics, the smooth flow of the book, and the focus on current issues in sports prove that Wong's text is at the forefront of available sports law textbooks.
