Sports Group of the Year: Akin Gump by Zachary Zagger
Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Sports Group Of The Year: Akin Gump By Zachary Zagger Law360, New York (February 6, 2017, 3:04 PM EST) -- Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP had a busy 2016 guiding the NFL to some major labor wins that confirmed the commissioner’s authority, including an arbitration decision upholding the commissioner’s new player personal conduct policy, earning the firm a spot as one of Law360’s Practice Groups of the Year. As a go-to law firm for the NFL, Akin Gump was involved in a trio of labor disputes that came to conclusion last year: Deflategate, involving New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady; a case over a suspension of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson; and a grievance over the player personal conduct policy issued by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in 2014. All three cases ended in favor of the league and Goodell, setting strong precedent for the NFL, and to some extent other professional leagues, moving forward confirming the commissioner’s authority to discipline players under the collective bargaining agreement. “Taken together all three were pretty strong endorsements of the commissioner’s authority,” Akin Gump partner Daniel L. Nash told Law360. “The reason for that is a labor law principle that essentially, the parties to a collective bargaining agreement have a right to negotiate how things are handled. In each of the cases, both the courts and the arbitrator said this is what the parties bargained for and the labor laws require that the bargain be enforced.” While the Brady and Peterson cases grabbed a number of headlines, Akin Gump was integral in guiding the league to a win in a lesser-publicized dispute, in which the players union filed a grievance over a new player personal conduct policy issued in 2014. -
Noted Surgeon Dr. James Andrews Wants Your Young Athlete to Stay Healthy by Playing Less
Page 1 of 8 Noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews wants your young athlete to stay healthy by playing less By Dennis Manoloff, The Plain Dealer on February 27, 2013 at 5:00 AM, updated February 27, 2013 at 9:39 AM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- James Andrews has seen enough. Enough of coaches who mean well and try hard, but who really don't know what they need to know. Enough of parents who think their son or daughter is the next superstar athlete and must be pushed and pushed and pushed. Enough of youngsters who are forced to visit him and his colleagues around the nation. Andrews has become so alarmed that he is issuing written and verbal warnings to anyone willing to read or listen. Why should the public care what Andrews thinks? Because when the "Dr." is placed in front of his name, he becomes a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon. Andrews, who has practiced medicine for nearly 40 years, is most famous for his ability to put professional athletes back together. These athletes -- notably, a who's who of quarterbacks -- have signed contracts for a combined total well north of $1 billion after his surgeries. In 2010, Andrews was the only doctor to be named among the top 40 most powerful people in the NFL by Sports Illustrated. Andrews' specialties are knees, elbows and shoulders. One of his recent patients was Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, who needed the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament repaired in his right knee. http://blog.cleveland.com/dman/print.html?entry=/2013/02/noted_surgeon_dr_james_andrews.html 2/27/2013 Page 2 of 8 The work on athletes, while important, isn't the reason Andrews collaborated with Don Yaeger, a former associate editor at Sports Illustrated, to write, "Any Given Monday: Sports Injuries and How to Prevent Them, for Athletes, Parents and Coaches -- Based on My Life in Sports Medicine." He felt compelled to write the book, then talk about it, out of fear for the younger generation. -

Crisis in the NFL (Commentaries & Recap- UPDATED)
Crisis in the NFL (Commentaries & Recap- UPDATED) By Nicole Giovia, Contributing Editor, CommPRO.biz Throughout the past year, it seems that every week there is a new crisis occurring in the National Football League. Spousal abuse, child abuse, illegal fire works causing the loss of digits; with problem after problem, the NFL is facing a real PR nightmare. All the while, Changes have been made behind the scenes in hopes to change the public’s view of the NFL, and its players. The disaster started with Ray Rice and continued to spiral downward. Beyond Ray Rice, the NFL faced Adrian Peterson and his child abuse scandal, and Greg Hardy’s domestic violence. These were just the beginning in a string of domestic violence charges for NFL players. The latest in the list of seemingly never-ending NFL Crises was #Deflategate. Turns out, this year’s Super Bowl Champions, the New England Patriots let air out of nearly all of their footballs, giving them an unfair advantage in the AFC Championship Game. The NFL’s “Golden Boy” Tom Brady was suspended for four games for his part in the scandal, a decision that was overturned by a judge today. The NFL is in desperate need of some positive PR. As they face criticism from fans, players and sponsors, the NFL must figure out a way out of the crisis and back into the public’s good graces. The big question is, what is next? What can the NFL do? If something doesn’t change fast will the NFL every get back to where they once were? With this page we will dig deeper into the issues that arise from the most recent developments. -

ROGER THAT: CALLING AN AUDIBLE ON THE NFL COMMISSIONER'S FINAL AUTHORITY OVER PLAYER DISCIPLINARY MATTERS AS THE 2020 CBA RE- NEGOTIATION LOOMS By Kyle Yager I. INTRODUCTION The National Football League (the “NFL”) is the most popular and most valuable sports league in the United States.1 In 2018, the NFL accounted for 46 of the top 50 most- watched shows on television,2 including NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” which continued its streak as the number one primetime show for the eighth consecutive year.3 Additionally, the NFL generates the most revenue of any professional sports league, holds the most valuable franchises,4 and attracts the highest per game attendance numbers.5 As an employer, discipline is of paramount important to the NFL.6 Without an effective discipline policy in place, employers subject themselves to major risks.7 Every NFL team employs somewhere between 43 and 53 players throughout each season, which results in up to 1,696 players employed by the league in a given year.8 Accordingly, up to 1,696 NFL employees are subject to the NFL’s player discipline policy on a yearly basis. -
Image Reparation Attempts in the Nfl
SORRY, NOT SORRY: IMAGE REPARATION ATTEMPTS IN THE NFL by Jennifer L. Harker A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas May 2015 This research was funded in part by a generous Killgore Research Grant awarded by the West Texas A&M University Graduate School. ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of current trends in image reparation strategies used by the National Football League (NFL) in an effort to restore goodwill with its stakeholders following perceived transgressions. The 2014/2015 NFL season is discussed and analyzed using the lens of Image Reparation Theory. This research also set out to discover whether or not the NFL’s image repair strategies were rhetorically successful. Findings include the application of three general strategies; corrective action, evasion of responsibility, and reduce offensiveness; and the five sub-strategies of defeasibility, minimization, differentiation, attack the accuser, and bolstering. The implications of this research concludes that in sports image repair, use of the contradictory strategies of corrective action with defeasibility, or corrective action used with differentiation or minimization, is not universally effective. Bolstering likely is the key strategy to apply as it is consistently successful across stakeholders. The importance of strategic and proactive organizational communication cannot be overstated, consistency in player discipline is desperately needed in the NFL, and finally, dissociation of players who have engaged in an extreme transgression is suggested. Keywords: National Football League, image reparation theory, image reparation strategies, apologetic rhetoric, sports apologia, antapologia ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. -
