It's My Jersey and I’ll Sell It If I Want To

Occasionally, sports players will sell their trophies or jerseys. The question is: is it legal? If a jersey must be returned to the team at the end of the sport’s year, clearly it is not legal to sell it. I agree with this law. But, what if the item sold was an award or trophy? The way I understand it, this is legal, but against the unwritten rules of the game. A football player, Terrelle Pryor, and others from Ohio State, sold some of his jerseys and awards and was suspended for five games. I agree that it was wrong of him to sell, but he probably needed the money. Also, I think that if it is wrong for the seller, it is also wrong for the buyer, but they cannot punish the buyer because most likely he is not a sports player.

Heisman Statue of Limitations

I am writing this post even though super bowl ring wearing Reggie Bush could probably care less. Five years ago Reggie Bush accepted money or gifts from a sports agent. This was against the rules of NCAA football, but not against the law. Now he is one of the best running backs out of all the NFL players. The Heisman committee after years of inaction wants to take this on-the-field won award away from him, because he accepted money from an agent. I don’t think they should be able to take it away from him unless he broke a law which he didn’t.
