CRITICAL REFLECTION
By having an evaluation of article published by Alan Sullivan, learning in respect to role
of contract in sports law has been developed. I have learnt to know that Games Law has been
manufactured and which is of essential significance in many territories where there is an
interface amongst wear and the law. Along with this, it has been noticed by me in reading of
article that regardless of whether don is being played at a world class level or at a more modest
one there is dependably an agreement working some place (Naidoo, 2012). In addition to this, I
have also become acknowledged regarding sponsorship rights. Along with this, details in respect
to participation rights and obligations in major concern for the sports events which has also been
evaluated in desired manner. By having an effective development of learning in respect to sale of
media rights has also been developed in critical manner. It has also provided learning regarding
the core principles which apply in every sporting dispute where there is a binding contract.
Learning has been developed with a review of Cox J case. He found that the offended
party had no privilege to bring his activity in light of the fact that there was no expectation to
make a coupling contract. It has been noticed in the case that plaintiff did not come within any of
the Cameron v Hogan exceptions (Sullivan, 2010). Such condition has been raised because
during the suspension he has not received any kind of pay for playing Hockey. Also, there was
no evidence presented in respect to significant financial loss which has impacted the overall
outcome in desired manner. Along with this, article review has also developed knowledge in
respect to principles to the fact. It assist in developing major concern in regard to act and legal
values which are essential for better sports provisions. In addition to this, I have also identified
that some of legal base is being enforced by the rules found in court. It is an especially the
relation to the large and influential bodies so that major updates can be taken into account. Along
with this, it has been witnessed by me that selection results can also be taken into account so that
proper measures can be employed.
In sports agreement the person is also capable enough to have proper bound between
parties. In this, athletes are key party because number of agreements are taken into account
between sponsors and sports person. I have also gained the knowledge in respect to sporting
activities by having a concern in regard to media rights and sponsorship arrangement. It has
made me understood that sports activities are associated under diverse majors. I have also gained
the knowledge that number of sports issues are being resolved with an application of

interpretation of contracts that are followed under sports law (Sullivan, 2010). Proper and
disciplined working is being promoted with a motive to meet standards and ensure about overall
development. Diversity is also being promoted in desired manner by having an application of
sports arrangements under legal concern.
