Abstract

Sport law knowledge is a vital component of sport management education and professional preparation for those working in the sport and recreation industries. It has been more than 15 years since scholars fully analyzed the content of sport law courses. Given the increase in litigation surrounding the sport industry, there is increased focus and interest in the law as a teaching tool within the sport management curriculum. Sport management curricula must continue to evolve and adapt to respond to the dynamic nature of industry and academia. Therefore, this study updates foundational work on the content of sport law classes in U.S. undergraduate sport management programs. Through an online survey of sport law course instructors in undergraduate sport management programs, we discovered all instructors include Title IX in their courses. Consistent with previous research, the next most covered areas included aspects of negligence law and contract law. Many instructors thought that criminal domestic violence/intimate partner violence was an important topic that they were not covering in their course. We did find differences in course content by instructor educational degree and legal practice history. This work can inform sport management program assessments and sport law course syllabi construction.

美国大学生体育管理课程中的体育法：我们应该教什么？

体育法律知识是体育管理教育和体育娱乐行业从业人员职业准备的重要组成部分。学者们对体育法学课程内容进行全面分析已有15年多的历史。鉴于围绕体育行业的诉讼不断增加，人们越来越关注和兴趣将法律作为体育管理课程中的教学工具。体育管理课程必须继续发展和调整，以适应工业和学术界的动态性质。因此，本研究更新了美国大学生体育管理课程体育法课程内容的基础工作。通过对本科体育管理课程中体育法课程讲师的在线调查，我们发现所有讲师的课程中都包含第九章。与之前的研究一致，涵盖范围其次的领域包括过失法和合同法。许多教师认为，犯罪家庭暴力/亲密伴侣暴力是他们课程中没有涉及的一个重要话题。我们确实发现了讲师教育程度和法律实践历史在课程内容上的差异。这项工作可以为体育管理课程评估和体育法课程教学大纲建设提供参考。
