Join us for a conversation with The Honourable Ken Dryden, PC, OC on sports and the law, with opening remarks delivered by Professor Marcus Moore, Allard School of Law. This talk on Regulating Sport as Game will cover things like: the values associated with play; the importance of "the game" to the business of sport; and how to protect the sport inside the business. Can we distinguish the essence of a sport from the rules of the sport, in order to assess how well the rules give effect to that essence? (And the same with enforcement patterns). How do games evolve over time-- for example due to bigger stronger faster players, better coaching and training methods, more advanced equipment and other technologies? What can we do to make sure the game does not become distorted if traditionalists do not appreciate that the rules must change alongside changes in the game in order to preserve what we love about a sport?
This event is eligible for 1.5 CPD credits.
