What are you Thankful for? I wasn’t so grateful during the time I wrote my last post. Or maybe I was, but not like I am today. I think all that time waiting, pining, studying, worrying and stressing over what was next after I took the NY bar ate at me under my skin. I always knew that hard work…
Hi there. Remember me? I know, its been a long time. Too long. I apologized over and over to myself and now to my readers (that is- if any of you still exist) but, let me catch you up on the last year: To take you back, I worked in Esports from September to December of 2018. Then I…
With the rapid growth in technology and esports in general, the risks of big data analytics and privacy are now more relevant than ever. After the EU General Data Protection Regulation this past May, my experience in the NFL has reflected changes to our own data privacy terms and conditions not only for general websites, but now for the…
As you may or may not have heard by now, Nike has been given considerable backlash for its new “Just Do It” Ad (see full video below). After Colin Kaepernick’s collusion case has proceed to trial, his inability to get re-drafted by any team in the NFL, and his political stance in standing up for the black power movement represented…
Greetings from the Midwest! I wanted to send ya’ll an update on my journey and my summer as a legal intern for the Minnesota Vikings! First of all, the stereotyped accent and friendly nature up here is a real thing. Surprisingly, its even noticeable to a southerner, like me, who believes hospitality is home grown and experienced best in…
Hope everyone had a very happy 4th of July celebration. I thought this post would be timely for that. You may recall my prior post about Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem and my person views on the issue. Following… On May 22, 2018, the NFL enacted a new national anthem policy requiring all personnel on the field to…
Here I am. Yawning from my broken sleep, eyes red and puffy, watching other big-eyed, rushed passengers bustle along the narrow airport hallways with their luggage and large coffee splashing all over them. I am on my way to my second Sports Lawyers Association Conference (SLA): The genesis and inspiration for this very website and blog. Flights have been canceled…
It is finals time again. I wanted to reach out with a short and sweet post anyway to keep you all (and mainly myself) accountable with news and current events regardless. So, I will just leave this here for your reading pleasure. Who run the world? Girls. Thanks for that reminder Beyoncé. https://www.sbnation.com/2018/4/26/17288320/kim-miale-saquon-barkleys-history-nfl-draft
Here is something relevant and on my mind lately: Former LSU running back, Derrius Guice, reported that one NFL team asked him about his sexual orientation during the scouting combine last weekend. It has long been held that discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Here, the combine is…
I started this blog to share a voice. To offer perspective that meant something to me, that I hoped would touch at least one person. For the last few months I’ve received support regarding this blog mainly from friends, but recently, I was given support from outsiders, strangers, and people I’ve never met directly yet. Thank you. I notice you.…
