Letter From The Editor
The Future is unwritten. -Joe Strummer

Dear Forum Members,

Welcome to Issue 34:1 of the Entertainment and Sports Lawyer At
the time of this writing, Summer is coming to a close, relief efforts and
rebuilding is still underway in the after math of Hurricanes Harvey,
Irma, and Jose, and Ezekiel Elliott still has not begun serving his
six game suspension from the NFL. The damage caused by these
weather systems has been catastrophic. What always amazes,
however, is how Americans come together in times of need. .to
support, rebuild, and to heal.

Most of our Forum Members and readers are privileged.., we work,
live, and play in an industry that provides escape from most peoples'
daily toils. We work hard, but our industries are exhilarating! Our efforts
allow the public to enjoy entertainment in the grandest of forms. As
Robin VIliams' character, John Keating, said in Dead Poets Society:
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write
poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human
race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering,
these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry,
beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. The efforts of
this Forum and our colleagues in the industry have led the relief efforts
in the aftermath of these recent storms, have helped to create forums
for people to come together, to seek respite from their hardships, and
begin to heal. I could not be prouder to see friends and colleagues at
the forefront of these efforts.

With this issue, we see a changing of the guard! Len Glickman has
assumed the mantle of Chair of the Forum on the Entertainment &
Sports Industries. We welcome Len with open arms, and at the same
time, once again thank his immediate predecessor, Janine Small, for
her years of service and guidance.

In this Issue, Thomas Reiter and Lucas Tanglen provide a detailed
assessment of Insurance Coverage relating to concussions, CTE, and
brain injuries sustained in sports. Jeremy Evans provides us with an
in depth history and analysis of professional sports stadium funding
in California (originally published in the PRACTITIONER, the official
