Legendary sports lawyer Jeffrey Kessler joins the pod to talk about the upcoming battle in the Supreme Court over college athlete compensation limits, the US women’s soccer players fight for equal pay, how he is partly responsible for the misery of Jets fans, and how bumping into Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the unlikeliest of places changed his career. And
Jeffrey is probably the most well known sports lawyer in the country. He has represented every major players association in the country, litigated some of the most significant sports antitrust cases in history, including the Mcneil case in the early 1990s that led to the creation of free agency in the NFL, Brady v. NFL, which led to the end of the 2011 NFL lockout, is currently representing the plaintiffs in the Alston v. NCAA case that is headed to the Supreme Court, the women’s national soccer team players in their equal pay act lawsuit, and has represented the NFL union on behalf of Tom Brady, Ray Rice, Ezekiel Elliott, the players involved in the “Bountygate” non-scandal, and has also represented Oscar Pistorious, Castor Semenya, and countless other athletes and players associations.
