Over the past few years there has been a lot of negative attention surrounding criminal activity among professional athletes. I imagine that we have a lot to discuss regarding this topic; and we will do so (but, I want to give you a break from discussion boards, as your last few have been so lively and impressive). I want you to first read and understand the legal concepts behind crimes and torts (civil wrongs). While completing this weeks readings and watching the links and videos I have provided, I want you to think about the recent situations that have been highlighted in the news, such as: Ray Rice; Patrick Kane; Geno Smith; the shooting death of Will Smith; and even as recently as this morning with the death of Aaron Hernandez and his pending criminal cases. <\/strong><\/p>\n

FOR THIS WEEK<\/p>\n

1) READ<\/strong><\/u> Chapters 3 and 4<\/strong>, Torts and Crimes. ATTACHED<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) <\/strong>Watch the NFL concussion video,<\/strong><\/u> provided byFrontline<\/em> (it is long, over an hour, so allow time). Note the movie Concussion<\/em>, might be an interesting watch in light of this material- that is, if you have not already seen it. <\/p>\n

3 )Read\/watch these additional links after you complete the reading.<\/strong><\/u> <\/p>\n
