This program concerns issues of bullying, harassment, intolerant and abusive behavior in the context of professional sports. Such issues came to the forefront of public attention with the incidents involving Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito of the Miami Dolphins and Donald Sterling of the Los Angeles Clippers, among others. Panelists will explain the extent of the problem and put issues raised by these incidents into the current legal context. Panelists will also consider potential legislative, litigation and other initiatives to address this behavior, with important insight being added to the discussion through panelists with “front line” experience working on these issues in the professional sports context.
Business meeting at program conclusion.
