In recent years, the professional sports world has been shaken by a variety of scandals. From instances of domestic violence and child abuse, to owners perceived racist comments and teams’ alleged bounty schemes, commissioners have been busy doling out punishments. In dealing with unprecedented issues, commissioners have oftentimes relied upon what is known as the best interest of the game clause to levy sanctions. This clause will be examined in the media this week.
