About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2000. 1st Ed. Scratch to back cover where label partially removed. Hardbound. 8vo. 16 Pgs.. VG. Leveling The Playing Field by Paul C Weiler. Published by Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 2000. 1st Edition. Hardbound. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: VG. Scratch to back cover where label partially removed. 367 Pgs. ISBN 0674001656. LCCN 99-087304. The ideal of evenly balanced sporting contests is continually challenged by economic, social, and technological forces. Consequently, the law is essential to level the playing field for players, owners, and ultimately fans and taxpayers. For example, the author shows why players' use of performance-enhancing drugs, even legal ones, should be treated as a more serious offense than, say, use of cocaine. He also explains why proposals to break up dominant leagues and create new ones will not work, and thus why both union representation of players and legal protection for fans, and taxpayers, are necessary. Using well-known incidents, and supplying little-known facts, the author analyzes a wide array of moral and economic issues that arise in all competitive sports. He tells us, for example, how Commissioner Bud Selig should respond to Pete Rose's quest for admission to the Hall of Fame; what kind of settlement will allow baseball players and owners to avoid a replay of their past labor battles; and how our political leaders should address the recent wave of taxpayer-built stadiums.
