| Abstract
|
:
|
"From Boot Money to Bosman provides insights into how the law on violence and consent impacts upon acts of on-field violence, the courts' role in securing players a greater degree of contractual freedom and the football governing bodies' responses to 'player power'. It also looks at the game's, and the legislature's, attempts to prevent 'hooliganism' and racism and considers the impact of the move towards all-seater stadia in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster. The book analyses how race and sex discrimination laws impact upon football's employment practices, explains why the sport's governing bodies are immune to public law remedies, such as judicial review (but are possibly not immune to the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998), and exhorts football's governing bodies to take the lead in participant and protection initiatives." "This book will be required reading for sports studies students and particularly those who are concerned with 'football and the law'. It will also appeal to people working within the football industry and others who wish to understand how the law has influenced, and will continue to influence, the development of football."--BOOK JACKET.
