Bruce Meyer speaks to students, with Ike Nwankwo ’25 moderating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Written by Alec Winshel.<\/p>\n

This Thursday, Bruce Meyer joined Harvard Law School students to discuss his role as the Deputy Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. The Committee on Sports & Entertainment Law’s Ikenna Nwankwo moderated a lunch panel during which he asked Meyer about his experience leading the players’ union, the challenges of negotiating with one of the world’s largest sports leagues, and the future of baseball in America. Interested students posed questions to Meyer about how gambling regulations and teams’ willingness to spend on ballooning player salaries are shaping baseball’s modern era.<\/p>\n

After the lunch event, Meyer joined Professor Peter Carfagna as a guest in his Sports & the Law course. Meyer and Chris Deubert, a senior attorney and published\u00a0JSEL author<\/a>, lectured to students about the history of baseball’s unique legal status and how a judicial exemption to antitrust scrutiny has been formative in the development of Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
