Welcome back to the intersection of sports and the law. The Dans break down all the latest in sports law. Kyrie Irving has been suspended by the Nets for posting a link to a movie with antisemitic views and failing to disavow antisemitism. (4:10) Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) who is a basketball business reporter with The Athletic joins to discuss both the Kyrie Irving and Josh Primo situations. (13:47) The Nets have provided a list of objectives that Kyrie needs to do before he may return to play. Time will tell if Kyrie follows through and returns to play. There is also a question of whether the NBAPA files a grievance for the suspension. The Nets are also under the PR light of the recent departure of Steve Nash and potentially hiring suspended Ime Udoka. (30:45) Due to the recent pressures the Nets are facing with Kyrie, it is curious to see if they avoid hiring Udoka for another PR hit. Josh Primo was released by the San Antonio Spurs for exposing himself to a woman nine separate times. (37:43) A civil lawsuit has been filed and a criminal investigation has begun in Texas. The civil suit also has claims against the Spurs for their knowledge of Primo's actions. The Colts have hired Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach after they fired Frank Reich. (56:11) Saturday has no coaching experience at either the collegiate or NFL level. The Rooney Rule does not apply to the hiring of an interim head coach during the season. However, the Colts would have to fulfill the Rooney Rule at the end of the season before hiring a full-time head coach. This comes amidst the Brian Flores lawsuit against many NFL teams for hiring discrimination practices. *** Have a topic you want to write about?
