Had to file a report with the FTC because Steam’s automated help system won’t issue a refund for a game purchased that won’t run, as in it crashes before getting to the very first loading screen.

Contract Breaches: What All Athletes Need To Be Aware Of

Contracts are the foundation of professional sports, describing the relationship between athletes, teams, and sponsors. However, when an athlete breaks a contract, the consequences can be severe, including financial penalties, legal action, and career setbacks. Breaching an athlete contract, whether for a dispute over playing time, endorsement conflicts, or personal reasons, has major legal consequences. This article investigates what occurs when an athlete violates their contract and the consequences in law that may result.

What’s in an Athlete’s Contract? Key Clauses to Know

Athlete contracts are legally binding agreements that define the rights and obligations of both parties. Common terms include duration and termination conditions, which specify the contract's duration and grounds for termination. • Performance Obligations - Athletes must meet specific expectations, such as maintaining fitness levels, attending training sessions, and participating in games. • Compensation and Bonuses - Describes pay, bonuses, signing incentives, and endorsement income. • Morality Clauses - Allows for termination if an athlete participates in behavior that harms the team's or sponsor's reputation. • Non-Compete and Restriction Clauses - These clauses prohibit athletes from signing with rival teams or promoting competitive companies under certain circumstances. Violation of any of these clauses might result in serious legal and financial penalties.

Why Do Athletes Break Their Contracts?

Athletes breach contracts for a number of reasons, including: • Better Financial Offers - If a competing organization offers a more attractive deal, a player may opt out of his contract early. • Team disputes - Conflicts over playing time, coaching decisions, or contract mishandling can result in early exits. • Endorsement and Sponsorship Conflicts - Athletes with several sponsorships may risk being sued if one agreement conflicts with another. • Personal Reasons - Contract disagreements may occur due to family concerns, injuries, or a desire to trade leagues or retire. Regardless of the motivation, breaching a contract is rarely simple and frequently results in legal consequences.

Legal Consequences of Contract Breaches

When an athlete breaks a contract, teams and sponsors often take legal action to recover financial losses. These are some of the consequences they may face:

1. Financial penalties and fines Athletes who breach their contracts may be required to refund signing bonuses, forfeit income, or face significant fines. Neymar, a Brazilian player, was forced to reimburse Barcelona €6.7 million in 2017 due to a contract disagreement following his move to PSG. 2. Lawsuits and legal disputes Teams and sponsors can sue athletes for breach of contract, resulting in long legal proceedings. Many cases result in millions of dollars in damages, making these battles financially and reputational costly.

3. Contract buyouts some contracts contain buyout clauses, which allow athletes to quit early by paying a predetermined sum. This is typical in European football, as teams use buyout prices to protect their assets. 4. Suspension and Bans Leagues and regulators have the authority to suspend or ban athletes who violate their contracts, excluding them from signing with new teams. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has previously banned players for breaching contract terms. 5. Reputational Damage and Loss of Future Opportunities A public contract disagreement can hurt an athlete's reputation, making it more difficult to earn future contracts. Sponsors may cancel endorsement agreements, and organizations may be hesitant to recruit a player with a history of legal problems.

How Courts Handle Athlete Contract Disputes

Contract violations frequently result in lawsuit or arbitration. Courts evaluate the following factors:

• Was the contract violation intentional or unavoidable? • Did both parties try to resolve the matter before taking legal action? • How much financial damage was caused by the violation? • Are there any exceptions, such as emergencies (unexpected circumstances like injuries or worldwide crises)? The majority of lawsuits are settled outside of court, but some high-profile conflicts might take years to resolve.

Can Athletes Break Their Contracts Legally?

Athletes who want to exit a contract legally have a few options: • Mutual Termination Agreements - Reaching an agreement with the team or sponsor to avoid legal action. • Buyout Clauses - Paying an agreed-upon amount to end the contract early. • Performance-Based Exits - Some contracts provide for termination if teams fail to achieve certain criteria (for example, a lack of playing time). • Morality Clause Violations by Teams - If a team fails to meet its duties or participates in unethical behaviour, athletes may have legitimate reasons to leave. Proper legal advice is critical to preventing an athlete from facing unwarranted fines.

Conclusion:

Breaking an athlete's contract is a serious legal concern that can result in financial losses, lawsuits, and professional setbacks. Whether you're an athlete, sports agent, or sponsor, understanding contract requirements is necessary for avoiding costly disputes. Legal specialists and organizations, such as the Hardcore Sports Welfare Foundation (HSWF), can assist athletes in understanding complex contracts, allowing them to make sensible career choices while remaining legally protected.If you enjoyed this article, Follow HSWF on Instagram and Facebook for more sports related news like such!

Breach Of Contract: Part 6

Rosie’s diner stood just as he remembered it, with an oddly paired vintage and rustic appearance that had been first introduced by the off-blue neon sign that hung above the door. The curved letters were faded slightly, yet they hung just as they had since he was in university and even before, it was almost a cornerstone for his life before politics.

And it was clearly part of your life since you had relayed that you’d been here studying late at night or seeking their comfort food when you had nothing else to do. It was a marking bind that aided in the connectivity he had felt between the two of you. It was already almost more than he had in common with Peggy, and it was one of those moments that made him aware of how out of touch his marriage truly was.

It was a harsh truth, one that had been made to settle under his skin and yet he couldn’t have denied the truth any more than he could have denied his loneliness.

Both had eaten away at him, both had felt like a slow-acting poison that made him grow more discontent and ill over the state of his relationship and marriage. He was a man who wanted marriage and wanted it to be happy, he was a man who had known that marriage took sacrifice and devotion, Steve knew it wasn’t easy and it wouldn’t have been easy but this was unlike anything he was prepared for.

He had loved Peggy at one point, at one point he had felt as if she could be the greatest love of his life, only for that illustrious shine to be tarnished and tainted by her selfishness.

His idea of marriage had turned to ash and dust, it had all fallen apart until only the finite strings holding it together had been left. Steve knew his marriage was over but she wouldn’t grant him a divorce, she wouldn’t dare part with him and trying to come to terms with his political career that was leading him to a potential presidency had overshadowed his desire to put himself through that right now.

His dreams for a happy marriage, his deepest wants to have children, had seemed lost. It seemed all for naught and Steve was left to deal with the reality that faced him, Peggy Carter did not and would not have kids.

She had taken the choice from him, completely ripping any say he had in this relationship away from him.

“Rosie’s hasn’t changed a bit.” Steve had commented while holding the door open for you, instinctively resting his hand on your waist as you move, protecting you from the metal side of the door as you turned to let someone else out. “It’s exactly as I remember it.”

“I love it here,” you had thanked Steve for holding the door open for you, and he in return had felt the subtle, soft sparks of your connectivity running through him, “where do you want to sit?”

“At the back,” he had spoken softly, watching you walk ahead of him to the red vinyl booth seats, the puckered material edged with brass designs, and a studded trim around the edge of the table, “here is good?”

“Perfect.” You had approached the bench seat and started to shrug off your blazer, your arms nearly out of the sleeves until they had been caught and you started to struggle.

Steve had inched closer to you and gently grasped the ends of the sleeves in one hand, giving them a sharp tug to help free you from the jacket. He folded it in his arms and held it out to you to take, a small smile built on his face when you muttered a bashful thank you. He had removed his coat and folded it, tossing it into the corner of the booth seat.

Steve had taken the place opposite of you, sliding in on the bench seat before he reached for one of the menus that were already resting on the table. The menus were simple with black writing against a white background and had only been double-sided and laminated yet they seemed more inviting and welcoming than more than half the other places he had been to.

“You know I always look at the menu and usually get the same thing.” You had spoken quietly, holding the menu in one hand while the other was folded and tucked under your jaw.

Steve had peeled his eyes away from the menu and set his sights on you, his eyes sweeping across you with studiousness that paralleled his intrigue. You were younger than him, you were probably the youngest among his team of personal assistants and yet you carried this wisdom among you.

You were quiet and a little reserved, yet you weren’t without your brilliance, it was a contrast to so many people he had been around who were loud because they thought they needed to have themselves heard. But you…

You were like a soft flame in the dark, a whisper among so much noise that was chaotic and catatonic. It was an endearing quality, even if you hadn’t been as quiet or reserved as Steve thought you were, you had conducted yourself with the knowledge that a loud voice and angry screams weren’t always relative to change and good intentions.

“I don’t know why I’m reading this.” Steve had set the menu down and pushed it to the side, already knowing that he would get his usual favourite, the unchanging choice was calling to him like it usually had. “I know what I’m going to get.”

“Me too.” You set your menu down and pushed it to the side as he had, and then you averted your gaze and studied the décor in the diner, the two of you sharing a similar familiarity with the building, the menu and the food.

“Sorry,” the waitress had scurried up to your table, a huff falling from her lips and her hair messily tied out of her way, “can I get you something?”

Steve had motioned for you to go ahead and place your order first, both as a means to be polite and in case he had second guesses about what he wanted. It was a brief few milliseconds where he could study the middle-aged waitress, one that was even older than himself, and then focused on you. The sweeping brush of your eyelashes against your cheeks when you blinked and the subtle way in which you had licked your bottom lip.

“Can I get Rosie’s traditional shake and a plate of extra crispy fries?” Your voice was smooth, even and soft. “Please?”

“Sure, and for you?” The waitress questioned while Steve had look back over you, unable to tear his eyes away for too long.

“The same for me.” He had finally looked at her, giving her his attention for the moment.

“Great, give me a few?” The waitress had come and gone within a brief exchange and then you were alone again.

“I know you probably get asked this a lot, but why politics?” You had questioned with minute hesitation as if you didn’t want to be a bother for him.

“I took some university classes after high school but I wasn’t ready for a steady career. I joined the military with Bucky and I served my country but then came back…I wanted to do more. I thought that maybe I could make a difference, and that’s…” Steve hesitated and then looked down, shaking his head.

“I met Peggy through some connections in the military. Her father is big into politics, he has a lot of connections and he got me started. It was my relationship and eventual marriage to Peggy that pushed me forward in my career.”

“You want to make a difference,” you tucked your hands under your chin and rest your elbows on the table, “you wanted to make the world a better place for people.”

“For everyone,” Steve had locked eyes with you again, a flutter in his heart and a pulse radiating between you two, the allusion to chemistry that was more intense than it ever had been with Peggy, “everyone deserves a fair chance at being happy, at having a good life.”

“Please don’t fire me for this,” you spoke and winced, almost as if you were already regretting what you were going to say, “but if everyone deserves a fair chance to be happy and have a good life, then….doesn’t that include you? If you deserve the chance to be happy, why are you still with someone who makes you so miserable?”

The question hit Steve head-on. It hit him square in the chest and he knew you were right, he knew there was nothing rooted in that statement that wasn’t blatantly true. He was miserable and he was making himself miserable by hoping that Peggy would suddenly change her tune. He was making himself miserable by pretending that she gave a damn about him.

“I’m sorry, Senator Rogers. I overstepped-“

“Y/N,” he spoke your name and eased your worries with a small half-smile, “you didn’t. You’re right.”

There was a half-beat of silence and then he spoke again. “Call me Steve, you don’t need to do the formalities. Please, I wish someone would address me by my name rather than my title.”

“If I ever overstep, please feel free to tell me to shut up.” You mumbled lowly as Steve chuckled and leaned back against the seat.

“I feel like you should be telling me to shut up.” He spoke with mirth and looked over his shoulder, watching the fries and shakes being loaded onto a tray. “Shakes and fries?”

“You didn’t have to order the same thing,” you teased him, an air of ease passing back and forth between you, “and FYI, dipping crispy fries into a chocolate shake is delicious.”

“First time for me.”

“You didn’t have to give me your leftover fries.” You reached for your keys in your bag, grasping the lanyard that kept them together as you both stepped in front of your door. “You also didn’t have to walk me to my door.”

“I didn’t want you to come up by yourself, call me a worrisome soul.” Steve leaned against the doorframe, holding the boxed takeout container and his coat draped over his arm. “I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if something happened to you.”

“Thank you,” you shoved your key into the lock and turned it accordingly, waiting for the sound of the deadbolt before you twisted the handle, “I appreciate your service.”

“You’re welcome,” Steve watched you push open the door and grab a small rock to keep it from closing, and then he saw you turn back, “thank you for coming out with me. It was nice.”

“When’s the last time you were able to eat greasy fries and have a chocolate shake?” You asked, crossing your arms over your chest, the two of you closer now than you were in the diner.

“Its been a while.” Steve handed you the takeout container, dropping his gaze to your lips as you mumbled a quiet thank you, before he raised his eyes.”I guess…I’ll see you at the airport in a day.”

“California, I’ve never actually been to the Pacific Ocean, I’m looking forward to it.” You admitted, quietly confessing to Steve as he drew himself closer to you.

The air around you had grown heady with tension, something akin to a kind of intimacy and he had wondered if he could get away with brushing his fingers down your cheek, or if you would let him embrace you before he said goodbye for the night.

“I hope you can have some time off while we’re there. Whenever I’ve gone, I’ve loved sitting by the piers.” Steve couldn’t help himself, he couldn’t help but study you as the conversation was quiet and soft.

“It sounds beautiful,” you were unflinching, unmoving as he dropped his gaze again, his fingers twitching by his side, desperate to either make a move or not, “I can’t wait to see it.”

You were standing mere inches from each other, mere inches between your body and his. He had looked down at you while you gazed up at him, your eyes searching each other’s as your breath wavered and you bit down on your bottom lip.

It had felt like hours was passing the two of you by as you held each other’s gaze’s and tried to bid each other goodbye to what felt like the most genuine night he had ever had. It was exhilarating in the most simple way, a direct extension of what he had almost wanted his life to be.

“I should go-“ He cupped your cheeks and stopped you from moving, his eyes dropping again to your lips before he leaned in, the tip of his nose bumping against yours.

He had exhaled against you, his eyes fluttering closed before your lips met his and that lingering spark that had buzzed between you two had become a direct jolt of powerful lightning that struck between the both of you.

Steve had moved his lips against yours, he had muttered something incomprehensible as he pushed you against your doorframe, your hands snaking up his chest to grab hold of his pressed dress shirt, falling into the moment. You leaned into him, you pushed into him while angling your head to the right, giving him more access to you.

And when he had brushed his tongue against your bottom lip, your lips had parted as you gave him the access he desired. His tongue stroked your own, his fingers gripped your cheeks as he kissed you, ravished you with his mouth.

Desire pulsed and radiated between you two, and only when you needed air had he parted. He held your cheeks, he kept cradling you with his hands as you inhaled and exhaled slowly.

“I don’t want to say goodbye,” Steve had admitted, his eyes sweeping across your face, “it’s only been the first-“

“Date,” you answered for him, turning into his touch, “can we even consider it a date?”

“It is,” he agreed and nodded his head, “a date. This is…”

He let you go, and slipped his arms around you when you leaned into him, hugging you tightly. It was a goodbye for now, it was time to return back to the pretty home with empty walls. It was time to return to the woman who had his ring but clearly not his heart.

“I’ll see you in a few days.” Steve had finally bid you goodbye, with a brush of his thumb across your cheek.

He waited until your door had closed before he turned and departed you, taking the steps down to his vehicle parked by the curb.
