Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast Conduct Detrimental

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find him on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are joined by Bobby Hartwick (@BobbyHartwick) to bring you the latest updates in sports law as we find ourselves with yet another a jam-packed week across the board.


The trio dives into the NBA-TNT matching rights drama. Warner Bros., the parent company of TNT, recently exercised its matching rights on one of the deals proposed for the NBA's broadcasting rights. This move has sparked a debate about whether TNT can truly match the streaming services like Amazon Prime. Dan explains the potential legal and contractual hurdles, including the possibility of arbitration, and the implications for the NBA's broadcasting landscape.



Next, they cover the new lawsuit filed by the Olympic and Paralympic Committee against PRIME, the energy drink owned by Logan Paul and KSI. The lawsuit claims PRIME infringed on the committee's trademarks by using phrases and symbols associated with the Olympics, such as "three-time Olympic gold medalist" and "repping Team USA." The trio discusses the legal intricacies of trademark enforcement and the potential repercussions for Prime.



Odell Beckham Jr.'s recent legal battle with Nike also gets attention. Despite Beckham's celebratory social media post claiming victory, Nike's statement asserts that all of Beckham's claims were decided against him without any monetary award. This confusing narrative underscores the importance of clear legal communications and the broader implications for athlete endorsement deals.



The conversation then shifts to a humorous yet important trademark dispute between Lamar Jackson and Troy Aikman over the word "eight." Jackson blocked Aikman's attempt to trademark "eight," claiming potential consumer confusion with his own trademarks like "Era 8" and "You 8 Yet." The group discusses the complexities of trademark law in sports and the likelihood of a coexistence agreement.



Bobby shares his insights into the Johnson vs. NCAA case as Trey Johnson, a former Villanova football player, along with other student-athletes, filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA and several universities, arguing they should be classified as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that student-athletes could potentially qualify as employees, which could have major financial and compliance implications for colleges. The case was remanded to the district court to apply the new economic realities test, setting a precedent for evaluating student-athletes' employment status.



Mike shares his excitement for Netflix's upcoming "Untold" documentary series, which includes episodes on the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and other intriguing sports stories. Bobby recommends watching the Giants' "Hard Knocks" series for its in-depth look at front office operations and player evaluations, wrapping up a packed episode of sports law updates and insights.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find him on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) guide you through the latest updates in the sports law world as we find ourselves with a jam-packed week.


Dan and Mike dive into the disastrous event management incident that occurred during the Copa America Final between Colombia and Argentina. Actions included fans rushing through gates as kickoff approached, un-ticketed fans breaking through and sneaking through things like vents, and security concerns arose as the stadium became overpopulated beyond safety limits​...this list goes on and there are many layers to cover this week.



The duo also discusses a new lawsuit filed by Nate Diaz claiming he is owed $9 million by the promoter of his boxing match against Jorge Masvidal. Diaz was allegedly paid only 10% of his $10 million purse, so his team filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida suing for fraud and breach of contract.



They cover the unsurprising delay in the NCAA v. House settlement as the smaller schools fight back and the deadline continues to be pushed. While in the UFC, their settlement that was all but signed off is likely headed to trial. Not so fast!



Mike brutally brings up the Home Run Derby National Anthem while Dan shares his recommendations for watching the Giants' Hard Knocks and Roku's NFL draft series "The Pick is In."

Dan and Mike dive into a lawsuit involving the New York Jets' old logo as the team and NFL is facing legal trouble over the use of their old logo, with a designer asserting that he created the emblem over four decades ago and the trademarks filed by the NFL and Jets don't align with the timeline or his consent.



The duo also discusses a new lawsuit filed by Mario Chalmers and 15 other former NCAA athletes. These athletes, who played before the NCAA settlement from 2016 to 2021, are filing lawsuits seeking compensation for their lost earning potential, challenging the NCAA's amateurism model and its financial implications for former athletes. The pile continues to build for the NCAA and the duo talk what is next.



They cover the alarming rise in sports card thefts, including a recent $2 million theft at a trade show, and highlight the lack of theft insurance for stolen cards, raising questions about auction house coverage and financial losses for collectors.



Dan shares his recommendations for watching the Taylor Swift/Scooter Braun and Oscar Pistorius documentaries. They discuss the Taylor Swift documentary focusing on her conflict with Scooter Braun over her music masters and the Oscar Pistorius documentary covering his rise as a Paralympic athlete and his subsequent legal troubles.



There has also been a lot of interest in joining the team, and opportunities are available for those interested. From upcoming events like the Summer Symposium and breaking news, we encourage listeners to participate and stay engaged with the sports law community.

Dan and Mike dive into the recent controversies surrounding professional boxer Ryan Garcia. They discuss the legal ramifications of Garcia's PED use and his fight with Devin Haney as Haney has announced he intends to sue Garcia. For what? That's what we cover!

The two also provide an in-depth analysis of the claim made by former UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen, that Conor McGregor withdrew from UFC 303 due to his attendance at a rehab facility. They examine the veracity of Sonnen's statements, the potential legal disputes between the two, and the broader implications for his return to the UFC.


Following suit with another possible defamation case is the JJ Redick saga, where a woman claimed on Twitter that Redick spoke heinously to her during their time at Duke...is it real? Is JJ suing?



Last but certainly not least, the duo wrap up the episode discussing the the ongoing battle involving sports betting personality "Spanky", a practicing attorney, and DraftKings. They provide background on the dispute filed by the attorney, as well as Spanky's allegations against the attorney and DraftKings' response. The episode delves into the complex situation the three parties find themselves in.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is joined by Bryce Goodwyn (@BryceGoodwyn), Ben Kaner (@BenKaner), and Logan Hughes (@loganchughes23) to go across the board to discuss everything from professional eating to soccer/football, another betting scandal, and so much more.



Joey Chestnut has yet to lose in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest since 2015. But with the 2024 hot dog eating contest less than a month away, Chestnut's sponsorship with Impossible Foods has officially prevented the 16-time champion from being a part of the event for the first time in nearly 20 years.



Even crazier though is the story on Manchester City and their legal action against the Premier League over Associated Party Transaction (APT) regulations, while they face 115 financial charges FROM the Premier League.



West Ham United’s playmaker Lucas Paqueta is accused of getting himself deliberately booked in four Premier League matches across two seasons. There might be a sports betting epidemic beginning in front of us.



Dan also shares his experience at the USA v. India Cricket T20 World Cup match this week.



It's a jam-packed week with some new guests, we hope you enjoy!
