  • Regulating Sports Gaming Data
    REGULATING SPORTS GAMING DATA Ryan M. Rodenberg* I. INTRODUCTION “Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own,” concluded the U.S. Supreme Court in Gov. Murphy v. NCAA.1 In the two years since the Supreme Court declared the partial federal sports betting ban in the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”)2 unconstitutional and, in turn, opened up the legalization of sports betting nationwide, there has been one topic that has garnered considerable attention—sports gaming data. ‘Data’—a generic word that includes news and information about sports gaming—has become one of the most-discussed contemporary topics in sports gaming regulation globally.3 Indeed, since the Supreme Court case, the regulatory treatment of sports betting news, information, and data has taken a prominent role in dozens of legislative bodies, at numerous industry conferences, and in a prominent lawsuit recently filed in the United Kingdom. Industry * Associate Professor, Florida State University. This paper was completed in conjunction with a non-resident research fellowship granted by the International Center for Gaming Regulation (“ICGR”) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The ICGR is an academic institute dedicated to the study of gaming regulation and policy development. The author would like to thank the ICGR for its research support and Christopher Perrigan for excellent research assistance. 1 Murphy v. Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 138 S. Ct. 1461, 1484–85 (2018). As of June 20, 2020, there remains a spin-off legal proceeding in the court system that is unrelated to the foci here.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, Annual (1980) Latrobe LATROBE, PA.: CRADLE OF PRO FOOTBALL By Robert B. Van Atta John Kinport Brallier, who was to become nationally acknowledged as one of the first professional football players, was born at Cherry Tree, Pa., north of Indiana, Pa., Dec. 27, 1876, the son of Dr. Emanuel Brallier, a physician, and his wife, Lucy M. Kinport Brallier. His grandparents were from Alsace-Lorraine in Europe, accounting for the French-sounding name. As a boy, Brallier remembered having worked in a glass factory. His first recollection of football was in 1890, at the age of 13, when he played for the West Indiana Public School team. By 1892, he was captain and right halfback on the high school team as a sophomore, just before his 16th birthday. The year of 1893 saw the youthful athlete, while still attending the public high school, also “matriculating at Indiana Normal so I could play on the team.” The team won three of four games played that year, and among Brallier’s teammates was left guard Alex Stewart, future father of movie star Jimmy Stewart. Brallier quarterbacked the Normal team in both 1893 and 1894. His second year on the team found it winning only two of five games, but against much tougher opposition provided by college teams and teams of former college players. The fourth game that year was a 28-0 loss to Washington and Jefferson, but Brallier’s outstanding play was to have a major effect on his future. E. Gard Edwards, coach of the Wash-Jeff team, wrote from Pittsburgh to John Brallier, Dec.

  • The Nfl Indoor Championship
    115 YEARS AGO: “PUDGE” HEFFELFINGER BECOMES FIRST FOOTBALL PRO When one thinks of legendary professional football players, names like JOE NAMATH, JIM BROWN, DICK BUTKUS, JOE MONTANA or JOE GREENE probably spring to mind. Few, however, would name WILLIAM “PUDGE” HEFFELFINGER among those legends. Yet Heffelfinger was the player who preceded all of these superstars. On November 12, 1892 – 115 years go – at Recreation Park on Pittsburgh’s North Side, “Pudge” Heffelfinger became the first- ever professional football player. The Allegheny Athletic Association and the Pittsburgh Athletic Club were fierce intra-city rivals. The two teams had played to a previous 6-6 tie in front of 3,000 fans on Columbus Day in 1892. Heffelfinger had been an All-American at Yale from 1889-91 and was the most revered football player in the nation at the time. For that reason, the Allegheny Athletic Association decided to pay Heffelfinger $25 in expenses and a cash bonus of $500 to play for its squad in the rematch against the PAC. Before a crowd of 5,000, Heffelfinger led the AAA team to a 4-0 victory over the PAC team. In the first half, the ex-Yale hero, playing guard, forced a fumble, recovered it and returned it for the game’s only touchdown. On that day, “Pudge” Heffelfinger and the Allegheny Athletic Association began 115 years of professional football. A breakdown of “Pudge” Heffelfinger: Position Height Weight High School College Guard 6-3 195 Central HS (Minneapolis, MN) Yale University • Was a member of the first three All-America teams (1889-91).

  • Ring in Professionals in 1892 J
    THE BIRTH OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL: PITTSBURGH ATHLETIC CLUBS RING IN PROFESSIONALS IN 1892 J. Thomas Jable long equated with success in America's competitive busi- Victory,ness world, played a similar role on the football fieldduring the late nineteenth century. Inorder to win, a football team had to secure the best players. Football teams at athletic clubs resorted to clandestine practices to attract players. The most successful way to bring in ath- letes, however, was to pay them for their services. Upon receipt of payment these players became professionals. The first known instance of professionalism in football occurred in November 1892, when the Allegheny Athletic Association (AAA) of Pittsburgh brought in and paid superior players from the outside, commonly known as ringers, to play for its football team. AAAused William W. "Pudge" Heffel- finger, the greatest player of his time, and other ringers to strengthen its team against all opponents, but uppermost was the association's desire to defeat its fiercest rival — the Pittsburgh Athletic Club (PAC). 1 This article examines the forces which caused professional- ism infootball to infiltrate athletic clubs inPittsburgh inthe 1890s. J. Thomas Jable received his Ph.D. inphysical education from the Pennsyl- vania State University in 1974. He is currently an associate professor of physi- cal education at WilliamPaterson College of New Jersey. Dr. Jable's interests have centered on the history of sport, and he is now studying sport in late nineteenth-century Philadelphia as a research associate of the Philadelphia Social History Project. —Editor 1 For years nearly every history of professional football has mistakenly credited John K.Brailler of the Latrobe, Pennsylvania, YMCA football team as the first professional football player.

  • Unfair Competition and Exclusive Broadcasts of Sporting Events
    288 THE YALE LAW JOURNAL [Vol. 48: 288 jurisdiction. In order to discourage avoidance of this tax by purchase from an out-of-state source, such a system should also include a tax on the in-state use of all personal property, with a deduction allowed to the extent that the property has already been taxed under the gross receipts provision or under a sales levy in the state of origin of the goods. °° States have not readily resorted to this system because of administrative difficulties inherent in a determination of a fair apportionment in each case, but have generally pre- ferred levies on retail sales of personalty. 1° 1 Judicial adherence to old com- merce concepts has insulated the interstate merchant from application of this type of statute, and has resulted in depletion of state revenues and harass- ment of local merchants. The Supreme Court's most recent decisions in this field seem to have created a method whereby interstate transactions that have hitherto escaped retail sales taxation entirely may be reached by one of the interested states. The newly articulated double taxation test, with the aid of the due process limitation upon extraterritorial taxation, may in the future be invoked to breathe life into Justice Holmes' mandate that "inter- state commerce must pay its way." UNFAIR COMPETITION AND EXCLUSIVE BROADCASTS OF SPORTING EVENTS A LEGAL system developed to meet the needs of less complex eras must often prove inadequate to cope with the problems incident to the immense potentialities of modern technology. When such issues arise, the judiciary is faced with the choice of stretching old maxims beyond all recognition, or of adopting a more flexible instrument, based on a sound grasp of the prob- lerms of policy involved.

  • Some Highlights During the First 100 Years of the Pittsburgh Chapter Knights of Columbus
    Some Highlights during the first 100 years of the Pittsburgh Chapter Knights of Columbus • October 8, 1908. The Grand Knights of eleven Pittsburgh area councils meet at the old Monongahela House to formulate a com- bined body of individual councils to better promote the good of the Order. The councils represented were: Duquesne #264, Allegheny #285, Monongahela #491 (later renamed Pittsburgh Council), Char- tiers #875, Braddock #911, Latrobe #940 (later renamed Daniel P. Nolan Council), Monessen #954, McKeesport #955, Charleroi #956, Sharpsburg #972, and Washington #1083. • October 11, 1911. Annual Columbus Day celebration inaugurated to honor our patron. This tradition is now in its 97th year. • The War Years 1914 to 1918. World War I. The chapter activities were curbed and a full program was not in force until 1919. Mem- bership fluctuated during these years and there were only 14 coun- cils in 1920. • October 11, 1924. The 14th annual Columbus Day Banquet was held at the William Penn Hotel. The Right Reverend Joseph Schrembs, D.D., bishop of Cleveland was the guest speaker. • The Big Brother Movement was started in 1925. Brother Barnabas, the founder of the Squires Program, met with the mem- bers and gave a ten day course in child guidance. The Big Brother Movement was the forerunner of the Catholic Youth Organization. May 16-18, 1927 the chapter was represented at the State Conven- tion in Altoona. In 1928 the Chapter was signally honored by an address made by Martin H. Carmody, the Supreme Knight. • Hard times brought a curtailment in chapter activities as well as a decided drop in membership during the Great Depression.

  • The Early Years of Pro Football in Southwest Pennsylvania
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, Annual (1981) Early Years in SW Pa. THE EARLY YEARS OF PRO FOOTBALL IN SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA By Robert B. Van Atta Among the least known of southwestern Pennsylvania’s historical distinctions is the region’s substantial role as the originating center of professional football in the 1890’s before the “play for pay” sport spread to central Ohio, eastern New York, and eastern and midwestern metropolitan locales. The originally accepted belief that the sport was initiated in 1895 at Latrobe has been superseded by results of subsequent research. However, the additional material has strengthened southwestern Pennsylvania’s position – including Pittsburgh, Greensburg and Latrobe – as the central spawning point for a sport that today dominates the sports pages from July training camps until January’s Super Bowl. During the decade of the ‘90’s, the proposition of paying players, particularly eastern college stars, to play for town and city teams spread from here into the midwest and north, as well as catching on in eastern metropolitan centers. From southwestern Pennsylvania, the concept fanned out to Chicago, Detroit, Canton (Ohio), and as far as Wisconsin, to the booming petroleum area in northwestern Pennsylvania, and to upstate New York. That pioneer pro football movement lost its momentum in the early years of this century, but was rekindled in the post-World War I era and generated a veritable explosion of interest following World War II. Was this professional football? Or, as some skeptics have said, semi-pro ball where a few dollars from the gate were shared by the players.

(Signature) Department of or’ i4tJM4J kifl cç The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 9/,79y DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This study examined the development of the first professional ice hockey league, the International Hockey League, and its relationships with amateur and professional leagues and ideals, in both Canada and the United States, during the first decade of the twentieth century. Following the historical method, relying primarily on newspapers reports from the towns involved with the League during that period, a chronological-thematic narrative was written to analyze the following hypotheses: a) the League played an important role in the development of professional hockey in Canada, b) the League and its members reflected and affected attitudes toward professional hockey in Canada and the U.S., c) the operations and play levels of the League were the direct result of several influential individuals and events.
