Introduction
In society and in the present world, in which trend is towards people with the grievances
whatsoever – whether the substantive disputes with possible advantage as the lawsuit or the
lighthearted claim lacking solid legal base for the legal causes of actions, then the risk
management in a framework of reducing the judicial exposure has become the unavoidable part
of description of the work for sport manger. As sport industry has become specialized, the laws
related to the sport appear to have become very critical as well as challenging for the people who
included. It is very much essential to be aware regarding the common legal issues. The

due to the age, religion, disability, race, age or groups they relate to. The discrimination may be
in against of law. The people have right to fair as well as considerable participation in the sport.

of gender discrimination, perspectives, challenges as well as opportunities, along with strategies
