1. What is the relationship of public law in the United States to the sports industry? How does the author describe it?
2. Cite specific examples from the text that support your answer to question #1
3. From the reading, why do sport leaders wish to ‘maintain the current relationship’ between sport and the government?
4. From additional sources, can you uncover/discover a recent example in which the relationship between public law and the ‘sport industry’ has come under question, and has the potential for ‘change in the current status’ in the future?
