One of the most pivotal moments in United States history came at the end of the Civil War. The Constitutional Amendments that came subsequent to the end of the war would be some of the most popular and polarizing subjects in American law and politics. These amendments to the constitution were the 13th, 14th, and 15th, amendments. The 13th Amendment essentially abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment protected every man from being provided the due process of the law and the equal protection from the law, and the 15th Amendment gave the right to vote to African-American men. This blog will mainly focus on different laws, rules, and regulations that have been created in the sports world, but the main focus of this blog is to analyse and assess different arguments of discrimination, prejudice, and inequalities in sports. This blog will also serve to analyse other different legal aspects of the sporting world.
Interesting contemporary topics that are arising in the sports world are Native American mascots, Title IX, Compensation for college athletes, faking an identity that is not your own online (AKA Catfishing, In reference to the Manti Te'o incident), the use of performance enhancing drugs, the rights of NCAA student athletes to Transfer after the coach that they signed to play for has left the school, the rights of Athletes and people in general to freely be able to speak as the wish on a plethora of controversial issues, and many more.
