Notes
- Abstract:
- Sports agents, those individuals who represent professional athletes by completing a multitude of tasks, (which include: contract negotiation, endorsement negotiation, public relations promotion, and an array of additional tasks), are often criticized and condemned by some members of society. The reason being: many agents act unethically, in order to retain clients and advance their own personal financial position. The issue is that America’s amateur athletes are essentially harmed by some agents, as a result of the agent’s actions, and the nonuniform set of standards currently in place do not do enough to prevent future violations. The current system of laws and standards needs modification if America’s citizens want to protect the nation’s amateur and professional athletes, who are held in high regard by a substantial number of U.S. citizens. Sports represent a significant part of society. This thesis delves into the role of sports in society, the profession of agency, the issues with the laws and regulations, and an explanation of a possible solution. The paper advocates for more uniform regulation of sports agents. If a stronger set of laws and regulation were installed, members of society would have the ability to alter the way individuals perceive the sport agent profession, as well as ensure the protection of America’s amateur and professional athletes.
