over the second May bank holiday weekend 2020, the Laureus “Sport For Good” Foundation celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the famous inaugural speech of its first patron, former South African President Nelson Mandela. He said:

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.”

The truth of that statement is one of the reasons sport is so pervasive throughout the globe today, including here in the UK. One of the reasons it is so powerful on so many levels including commercial, cultural and entertainment. And one of the reasons it is one of the most critical casualties of the corona virus crisis.

Inevitably the corona virus crisis will bring legal cases and conundrums requiring legal consideration for years to come. In addition there will be the usual and in these changing times unusual issues to address in sport:-

Review of diversity, integration and community relations in different sport in light of the unprecedented growth of the Black Lives Matter movement after the videoed police brutality murder of George Floyd
The impact of the corona virus on sports club funds, incomes, and insurance, and infections and potential infections among players, peers, professional participants, patrons and crowds
Working relationships between athletes and national sporting bodies and funding bodies, especially in terms of cancelled sporting events, contractual obligations, career collisions, income, training obligations, access to training facilities
