  • Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League Phillip Borell
    He iti hoki te mokoroa: Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Māori and Indigenous Studies in the University of Canterbury By Phillip Borell University of Canterbury 2012 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the influences and contributions of Māori to the establishment and development of the sport of rugby league in New Zealand. The overarching question of this thesis is how have Māori influenced and contributed to the development of rugby league in New Zealand? This thesis examines the international social history of rugby league from the origins of rugby league as a sport following the split in rugby union in England through to the contemporary status of Māori within the game as an elite sport in New Zealand and overseas. By examining Māori involvement in rugby league it is my intention to place Māori at the centre of the explanation for the establishment and development, past and present, of the sport in New Zealand, and also globally. While there have been some previous accounts of the affiliation between Māori and rugby league (Coffey and Wood, 2008; Greenwood, 2008; Falcous, 2007) this thesis compiles accounts from disparate sources in order to outline the history of Māori involvement and achievement in the development stages of rugby league. Key areas of focus for this thesis include the early Māori tours of 1908 and 1909, the development of the New Zealand Māori Rugby League as an independent entity separate from the New Zealand Rugby League and the contemporary influences of Māori on rugby league.

    610 Canterbury Law Review [Vol6, 19971 RESTRAINT OF TRADE AND ANTITRUST: A PIGSKIN REVIEW POST SUPER LEAGUE? Warren Pengilley * I. THISPAPER COVERS RESTRAINT OF TRADEAND ANTITRUSTISSUES ONLYAND IS LIMITEDTO "FOOTBALL" A review of football litigation around the world may well lead the observer to the conclusion that lawyers feed from the skin of the pig more than from any other part of it. For when a pig's skin is ennobled by being turned into a football, it seems, at least in modern times, that litigation, and thus lawyer feeding, is not too far down the track. In this paper, I restrict my observations to restraint of trade and antitrust issues. I thus do not here consider the ever expanding area of litigation relating to negligence and criminal liability involving football - such as the liability of a coach for playing a player physically unsuited to his position1; the liability of a rugby referee for negligently packing down a scrum2,the vicarious liability of a rugby league club for injury caused by its player in the course of effecting an illegal tackle3or the criminal liability of a rugby league player for an on-field assault4.Neither do I intend to go into other more tangential, but nonetheless fascinating, areas of the law's impact on football and football related activity - such as the liability of venue providers for nervous shock suffered by those witnessing on television the deaths of spectators as a result of poor soccer crowd control5; whether or not Australian rugby league and soccer players should be eligible for union membership of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance6;or whether or not a wide variety of contracts signed by rugby league footballers both with Super League and the Australian Rugby League are t A paper presented at the 1997 Annual Workshop of the Competition Law and Policy Institute of New Zealand held at Christchurch, New Zealand on 1-3 August 1997.

  • Competition Issues Related to Sports 1996
    Competition Issues Related to Sports 1996 The OECD Competition Committee debated competition issues related to sports in October 1996. This document includes written submissions from Australia, Denmark, the European Commission, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Satellite television with dedicated sports channels considerably increased the market for sports broadcasts. Sports bodies and event organisers perceive that they have market power to influence competition among TV channels and the market for sports equipment. Sports federations and leagues have significant powers to regulate the activities of sports professionals. The roundtable has shown the difficulty of reconciling aspects of sport operations that are inherently anti-competitive with competition policy. Four areas of concern were discussed: i) sale of exclusive broadcasting rights; ii) competition between different leagues; iii) sponsoring and exclusive supply arrangements between manufacturers of sports equipment and clubs, including the use of standards for equipment; and iv) retention and transfer systems used in players' contracts. OECD Guiding Principles for Regulatory Quality and Performance (2005) Intellectual Property Rights (2004) Regulating Market Activities by Public Sector (2004) Restructuring Public Utilities for Competition (2001) Regulation and Competition Issues in Broadcasting in the light of Convergence (1998) General Distribution OCDE/GD(97)128 COMPETITION ISSUES RELATED TO SPORTS ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Paris 54655 Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d'origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format Copyright OECD, 1997 Applications for permission to reproduce or translate all or part of this material should be made to: Head of Publications Service, OECD, 2 rue André-Pascal, 75775 Paris Cedex 16, France.
