VANDERBILT JOURNAL OF ENTERTAINMENT AND TECHNOLOGY LAW VOLUME 15 SPRING 2013 NUMBER 3 Decertifying Players Unions: Lessons from the NFL and NBA Lockouts of 2011 Nathaniel Grow* ABSTRACT This Article analyzes the National Football League (NFL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) lockouts of 2011, focusing in particularon the role union dissolution played in each work stoppage. Although the existing academic literature had generally concluded that players unions in the four major US professional sports leagues were unlikely to disband during a labor dispute, the unions in both the NFL and NBA elected to dissolve in response to lockouts by ownership. This Article provides an explanation for why the prior literature misjudged the role that union dissolution would play during the 2011 work stoppages.

    Stay Woke, Give Back Virtual Tour Day of Empowerment Featuring Justin Michael Williams

    11 1 STAY WOKE, GIVE BACK VIRTUAL TOUR DAY OF EMPOWERMENT FEATURING JUSTIN MICHAEL WILLIAMS On the STAY WOKE, GIVE BACK TOUR, Justin empowers students to take charge of their lives, and their physical and mental wellbeing with mass meditation events at high schools, colleges, and cultural centers across the country. The tour began LIVE in-person in 2020, but now with the Covid crisis—and students and teachers dealing with the stressors of distance learning—we’ve taken the tour virtual, with mass Virtual Assemblies to engage, enliven, and inspire students when they need us most. From growing up with gunshot holes outside of his bedroom window, to sharing the stage with Deepak Chopra, Justin Michael Williams knows the power of healing to overcome. Justin Michael Williams More: StayWokeGiveBack.org Justin is an author, top 20 recording artist, and transformational speaker whose work has been featured by The Wall Street Journal, Grammy.com, Yoga Journal, Billboard, Wanderlust, and South by Southwest. With over a decade of teaching experience, Justin has become a pioneering millennial voice for diversity and inclusion in wellness. What is the Stay Woke Give Back Tour? Even before the start of Covid-19, anxiety and emotional unrest have been plaguing our youth, with suicide rates at an all-time high. Our mission is to disrupt that pattern. We strive to be a part of the solution before the problem starts—and even prevent it from starting in the first place. Instead of going on a traditional “book tour,” Justin is on a “GIVE BACK” tour. At these dynamic Virtual Assemblies—think TED talk meets a music concert—students will receive: • EVENT: private, school-wide Virtual Assembly for entire staff and student body (all tech setup covered by Sounds True Foundation) • LONG-TERM SUPPORT: free access to a 40-day guided audio meditation program, delivered directly to students daily via SMS message every morning, requiring no staff or administrative support.

  • Concussions and Contracts: Can Concern Over Long-Term Player Health Pave the Way to Greater Guarantees in Nfl Contracts?

    Concussions and Contracts: Can Concern Over Long-Term Player Health Pave the Way to Greater Guarantees in Nfl Contracts?

    CONCUSSIONS AND CONTRACTS: CAN CONCERN OVER LONG-TERM PLAYER HEALTH PAVE THE WAY TO GREATER GUARANTEES IN NFL CONTRACTS? Mason Storm Byrd* Guaranteed money in an NFL player contract is often misrepresented when discussing the earnings of professional football players. Whenever an NFL player signs a new contract, purportedly setting a new benchmark and surpassing previous highs for compensation, reports of record guarantees dominate the news coverage. Lost in the reporting, however, is the actual guaranteed take-home pay of the player if the worst were to happen and he were to never play another down of football. In a sport riddled with injuries and short careers compared to other professional sports, the most important contract figure is not total compensation, but total guaranteed compensation. Unlike professional basketball and professional baseball, NFL players do not receive fully guaranteed contracts, meaning they play one of the most dangerous sports and do so with some of the least financial assurances. This is especially troubling in light of the recent revelations, research, and litigation focusing on head trauma in NFL players. Although there is certainly desire among NFL players to obtain larger guarantees in contracts, there has rarely been the will or ability to do so. NFL players are free to attempt to negotiate for larger guarantees on an individual basis with any team interested in their services, but history suggests that large sums of guaranteed money are reserved for only for the most elite players. Even then, guarantees rarely exceed 30–50% of the total compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is still opportunity for the players to negotiate for larger guarantees in contracts through means of collective bargaining when the NFL–NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in 2021.

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.
