Sports News For 1/29/10
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s official Kurt Warner QB for the Arizona Cardinals has just retired after 12 great years in the NFL. Warner was always one of the top professional NFL players on and off the field and spent a lot of his time during the off-season helping out with different charities. During his career Warner won two MVP awards, went to the Pro bowl 5 times and won the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams early in his career. Even though he had 2 years and $23 million left on his contract, he felt this was the perfect time for him to walk away from the game. The Cincinnati Bengals rookie LB Rey Maualuga has been arrested for DUI after he hit a parking meter and 2 park cars early this morning. But after learning about this the only thing that has me puzzled since athletes get DUI all the time is why is he still driving a 2003 Pontiac.
This Sunday night is the 2009-10 NFL Pro Bowl that will be held in Miami instead of the usually place Hawaii. Another difference is that this year’s game is the week before the Super Bowl instead of after, which makes all the players in the Super Bowl that made it to the Pro Bowl not eligible. But because the rule states that even if you cant play in the Pro Bowl if you made the team you must make an appearance which has angered many Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints players that have to miss their teams flight in order to fulfill their duties under league rules.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
The weekend the top seniors in college football will suit up for the North and South and battle it out in this year Senior Bowl. While there is a lot of marquee players in the game the most hyped up player competing is Florida Gators QB Tim Tebow. Tebow won many accolades during his tenure at Florida but many experts predict that he will not make a good QB in the NFL. Many feel he has a better chance as a tight end due to his lack of arm strength that is needed to succeed in the NFL. However Tebow plans on proving people wrong this weekend in front of every NFL scout that thinks he should look at playing another position. Just to make things worst Tebow was diagnosed with streap throat this week and was running a 103-degree temperature on Wednesday.

Professional And Amateur Athletes And The Law Of Assumption Of Risk
Posted by: | CommentsThe legal definition for “assumption of risk” is
an affirmative defense that the plaintiff cannot receive compensation for injuries from the defendant because the plaintiff freely and knowingly assumed the risk of injury and relieved the defendant of the obligation to act with reasonable care.
When a college quarterback in Texas takes to the field on a Saturday night, he cannot sue the linebacker on Monday morning if he is sacked too many times and sustains serious injuries. Pain and broken bones are understood to be possible outcomes for those who choose to contribute their skills to a football team. Likewise, if you are in a seat along the third base line and become so engrossed in a conversation that you fail to see the foul ball that is speeding straight towards your head, you cannot bring a lawsuit against the man who runs the sound system because he did not grab the microphone and yell, “Look out!” You chose to place yourself in these potentially dangerous situations. You assumed the risk.
The idea that assumption of risk is an affirmative defense means that there is some reason to limit, excuse, or avoid criminal culpability or civil liability. If criminal charges or a request for compensation has been made, a defendant must “affirmatively” present evidence that a shared understanding of the potentially dangerous environment existed among everyone in attendance. In other words, once the notice is displayed during Detroit Red Wings games to watch out for flying pucks, the organization has met its obligation to remind spectators that they may leave the arena with fewer teeth than when they arrived. If you visit the website for campus recreation at Texas A & M University, you quickly will spot the consent form that all participants must sign before being allowed to engage in a volleyball or flag football grudge match against a rival fraternity.
Are there instances, however, when the environment in which an athlete or spectator finds himself goes beyond what should be deemed acceptable in terms of its risk? A fan of the Dallas Cowboys who chooses to attend a game at the home of division rivals Philadelphia Eagles while wearing a brand-new Tony Romo jersey may know that he will not be the most popular guy in his section. However, does he assume the risk of landing in a hospital following an altercation with five guys who thought that Michael Vick did not go far enough in teaching those dogs a lesson? And, to put the focus back on the Olympics, do these world-renowned competitors have the right to sue if officials did not display enough diligence in clearing a bobsled track for safety after two straight days of sleet and a violent collision occurs?
There are likely no athletes, whether they be a professional or a champion of the weekend battles in the backyard, who have escaped their sport of choice without an occasional physical injury. Do not expect to engage your body in voluntarily, aggressive contact with another human or an intimate object in some way propelled by human strength and leave the experience without any wear on your body. However, there may be legitimate instances in which the damage you sustain is not consistent with the risk you assumed. If you are an athlete working under a signed contract, perhaps you have a clause that offers you financial compensation in the instance that you are injured while playing in an environment or with equipment that does not meet professional standards. On the other hand, what if you face a career-ending blow from an opponent who does not play by the rules of the league in which you participate? If you believe that you have suffered in ways that extend beyond the expected assumption of risk, you should contact an experienced sports or personal injury attorney who will be able to determine the merits of your case. Professional athletes operate in a high-risk, but also highly lucrative, field. Make sure that you are protected and supported to the fullest extent of the law.
