Jack Anderson, Professor of Sports Law, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, Australia<i>‘Throughout this book, Jack Anderson demonstrates his command of the field and superbly articulates the plurality of sports law in shaping and defining legal rights, relationships and interests. He explains the inextricable link between sport and wider contexts, including the commodification of professional sport, and meticulously examines the law’s evolution and expansion into the nuances of this unique regulatory domain.’</i>

<i>‘I highly recommend </i>Sports Law: A Concise Introduction<i> as an introductory textbook for anyone interested in the legal aspects of sports.

Analysing the broad range of actors and stakeholders involved in sport, this concise introduction illustrates how sports law, once the folly of contract law, now engages criminal, competition and international human rights law. The legal nuances to contemporary debates on concussion, the ‘gamblification’ of sport, the rights of transgender athletes, and sport’s flirtation with everything from cryptocurrencies to NFTs and private equity, all come into the orbit of this book. A departure point for further study in sports law, this book is also a reminder that sports law must be about fair play on, off and in court.
An accessible, global approach to sports law, this book will be an invaluable companion for scholars and students of sports law worldwide. It will be equally beneficial to legal practitioners, journalists and those with an interest in sport generally.
