Th?nk a Lawyer!
Far too often in life we get busy and fail to say “thank you” to people who are making a difference. I’d like to correct my error and offer sincere and immense thanks to the sports law community for all the help and support they’ve offered as I’ve endeavored to bring matters of injustice in the sports world out in my blog. Without the attorneys presenting the stories behind the various lawsuits and interpreting the same, so many important issues would go unnoticed and misunderstood. So to those who are on the frontline in sports – and beyond –THANK YOU!
