Welcome to AbromsonOnSportsLaw.com

This is a professional site dedicated to discussing issues in Sports Law and Sports Business. As an attorney and Ironman triathlete, I have experienced first hand the great impact that Sport has had and continues to have on our society's culture. I have witnessed Sport and its athletes shape our behavior, mores, and even styles, for the better and for the worse. There is little doubt that the legal, financial, and social developments in Sport are impacting our society at an ever-increasing rate. Thus, these issues should be discussed and understood. This site will provide a medium for that. Enjoy!

Intellectual Property Law and Sports Business are often intertwined. Every time an endorsement deal is signed, a stadium is named, a team’s logo is created, or an athlete performs a sports celebration move on the field, numerous intellectual property issues arise. Intellectual property, though often overlooked by laymen because of its intangibility, is often among the most valuable of assets that can be owned, acquired, and assigned.

Sports Marketing Law is the conglomeration of Sports Law, Intellectual Property Law, and branding and marketing strategies. The issues involved in creating and protecting an athlete's or entity's brand image and marketing that image defines this area of practice and study. This topic has never been more important with so many sponsorship, endorsement, and entertainment dollars out there for athletes to earn.

You see them weekly during National Football League games. Terrell Owens performs them. Chad Johnson shows his off weekly. Even Steve Young got into the act occasionally during his time in the League. Sports celebration moves are now a fixture to the NFL product. Whatever your opinion of these moves, there can be little doubt that the moves bring fame to those who perform them. To protect the players’ rights in these moves, which carry such a potentially great value, the player should have his move copyrighted.

All too often motorists and cyclists, alike, are ignorant when it comes to their respective rights to the road. Numerous cyclists are killed or seriously injured every year due to accidents with automobiles. Learn your rights and what can be done if you are the victim of such an accident.
