About The Game Behind The Game
What We Do
Sports and entertainment may happen on the field, on the court, on the screen, and on the stage. But some of the most important action happens somewhere else entirely. The Game Behind The Game examines the legal and business forces shaping the sports and entertainment industries—from litigation, regulation, and athlete compensation to media rights, sponsorships, contracts, league governance, investments, and the deals changing how these industries operate. The goal is simple: explain what happened, why it matters, and what comes next.
Who It Is For
The goal is simple: explain what happened, why it matters, and what comes next. That means going beyond both the headline and the legal jargon. The Game Behind The Game is written for anyone interested in understanding the forces shaping sports and entertainment—whether you work in the industry, compete in it, invest in it, follow it, or simply want to know what is happening behind what everyone else is watching.
