Description

The ROADMAP: 2:39 - New Umpire/Ref Bill. We are joined by Jake Joling, a 2L at Wisconsin Law, to debate the finer points of Wisconsin’s controversial law which seeks to criminalize both PHYSICAL and VERBAL abuse towards umpires and referees via a Class A Misdemeanor. In addition to being a resident of the state and a law student there, Jake has several years worth of baseball umping experience and speaks directly to public policy / why the law was put in place and - simultaneously - fends off a hot bench full of tough questions. 17:49 - LSU Class Action. Seven women have filed a federal class action-lawsuit against LSU, claiming the school conspired to cover up sexual misconduct. LSU is accused of prioritizing football over safety and creating a "culture of silence.” The new lawsuit claims that LSU discriminated against and retaliated when women would try to report rape, domestic violence, and other campus problems. We discuss how this fits together with the other allegations against the school. 27:08 - Another Snyder Bomb. Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder in a new court filing accuses John Moag, a prominent lawyer and sports investment banker, of destroying evidence in a defamation lawsuit. At issue in the underlying case is who exactly provided information to a media outlet alleging that Snyder was connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The question is whether and why Moag may have deleted his own incriminating emails. 36:49 - Vanessa Bryant ends Kobe deal with Nike. There was an expectation that Nike would present a true “lifetime” structure similar to those held by both Michael Jordan and LeBron James— but that’s apparently not what occurred. Per Vanessa, “we will always do everything we can to honor Kobe and Gigi's legacies. That will never change.” We discuss how contract negotiations broke down and what could be in store for the Kobe brand. 50:05 - What to Watch For: Expecting #GirlDad... The $430K Meme NFT... Baseball & The Law Book... Disney's Big Shot & Mighty Ducks... *** Have a question or something you want us to cover next episode?
