Concern over the degree of legal intolerance to player violence, also challenging authorities on the adequacy of provisions for ensuring safe conditions for workers. Whether workplace injury is exploitation by greedy owners or they are freely consented to by workers in the nature of work agreements. Also looking at sport pain and injury as gendered and gendering practice, masculinization. Legal intervention: milestone cases: grievances against players. Difficult for litigators to separate illegal from aggressive but acceptable play.
