Description

Welcome back to Conduct Detrimental. Dan Lust is joined by Mike Lawson and John Nucci (@JNucci23) to break down this week's sports law news. Lindsey Hill accused Trevor Bauer of sexual assault last year which resulted in Bauer being suspended for 2 years. (2:04) Hill was not granted a restraining order in LA Superior Court and the Judge even stated that her request was "materially misleading" in part. The LA District Attorney's office also declined to bring criminal charges. Bauer filed a defamation lawsuit against Hill claiming the accusations were all lies to destroy his reputation. Ms. Hill has now counterclaimed claiming sexual battery and battery. This counterclaim also adds more allegations that were not brought to light in the restraining order hearing. Patrick Reed has brought a defamation lawsuit against Brandel Chamblee and Golf Channel for $750M. (14:55) Reed claims that there was a pattern of defamatory comments made by Chamblee and the Golf Channel that ultimately led to his "constructive termination" from the PGA Tour. Reed is now a part of the LIV Tour. Ben Simmons has settled his grievance with the 76ers. (29:10) Simmons was seeking lost wages in the amount of $20M. The 76ers were claiming that he breached his contract and refused to play in any games, which was why they fined him. Simmons claimed that he could not participate because of a mental illness. The settlement amount is undisclosed, and time will tell when Simmons makes his debut for the Nets. Dan and Steph speak with special guest Fred Segal, better known as Freezing Cold Takes (@OldTakesExposed) joins to discuss his new book Freezing Cold Takes: NFL: Football Media's Most Inaccurate Predictions - and the Fascinating Stories Behind Them. (36:48) You can find Fred's book here.  *** Have a topic you want to write about? ANYONE and EVERYONE can publish for ConductDetrimental.com. Let us know if you want to join the team.
