Cite: Kavanagh v Trustees of Boston University. 795 N.E. 2d 1170 (Mass. 2003)
Facts: A collegiate basketball player was ejected from a game in 1998 at Boston University after punching an opponent in the face during a fight. The plaintiff Kenneth Kavangh is seeking suit against Boston University. The issue Kenneth brings is that he witnessed the defendant Boston University’s coach Dennis Wolff encouraging the aggressive type of behavior that sparked the player Levar Folk to start the fight. Kavangh had received a broken nose during the fight. The case brings up the question if a coach can be held responsible for the actions of his players. Kavangh’s case brings up a case of vicarious liability. The liability is discussed as coach Wolff is known for pushing his players to having aggressive playing styles. This style includes lots of shoving and elbowing other players in order to push an advantage. The Folk fight was pushed to happen as coach Wolff cheered and yelled in compliance of it happening which showed his involvement in player actions. The defendants argue that a student is not the same thing as an employee. Therefore, vicaious liability does not apply to Folk, because he has the freedom of a student and not an employee.

This case is different in ruling due to the fact that the players are under a payed contract as an employee to play the

Kilroy was on vacation when his old college roommate asked him to throw out the first pitch, and while doing so he dislocated his shoulder, which caused him to lose the first 35 games of the season. In this case the defendant is James Kilroy and the plaintiff is the Oakland Ogres. In Kilroy’s contract it states that the player shall not play baseball for any other team during the offseason, or any impromptu or competitive game of football, baseball, softball and other athletic events. The Oakland Ogres believe that because Kilroy participated in this event in the offseason, he breached their contract and should be punished because of it. The Ogres believe it is a clear breach of the limitations that were set on his offseason to prevent something like this happening.

One author argued that football was a manifestation of humanity’s primal bloodlust; another stressed that brutish play preserved the Machismo ideal. All the books, however, seemed to draw a common conclusion: football’s tolerance for ferocity was systemic.   I had a hunch that this culture of violence was far-reaching, but I needed specific evidence to prove it. To explore society’s role, I returned to JumboSearch and tracked down sources beyond the Tisch Stacks.
