Northwestern Hazing, ChiefsAholic, Wembanyama v. Britney, & Huggins Un-Resigns

Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast

Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Hosts Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust), Justin Mader (@MaderLaw), and Matt Tympanick (@TympanickLaw) join the podcast to discuss the current issues in the world of sports law.

Chiefsaholic, the Chiefs superfan who seemingly vanished from social media last year has been arrested on multiple charges related to a string of bank robberies. (1:44) Chiefsaholic, real name Xaviar Babudar, became a bit of an internet sensation in the world of football for his interesting costume including a fur-lined wolf costume. The allegations in the charges include multiple robberies across the US. He now awaits trial on the charges.

Northwestern has been rocked lately with allegations of hazing surrounding its football program. (13:20) Following the allegations from a former player reported by the Daily Northwestern, the school hired Arentfox Schiff to conduct an internal investigation which found the facts to be largely supported by evidence. Head Coach Matt Fitzpatrick was put on leave and since recording of this podcast has been fired from the school.

Bob Huggins, the former (maybe) head coach of the West Virginia University men's basketball team has made strides via his lawyer to be reinstated to his former position. (25:31) Two weeks ago it seemed that Huggins had resigned following a DUI arrest in the state. However, now Huggin's lawyer states that he never formally resigned and was never given due process to explain the situation. They are demanding reinstatement or a lawsuit will follow.

In one of the most bizarre stories to come out of the NBA recently, star prospect and number one overall pick Victor Wembanyama found himself in a controversy with popstar Britney Spears. (39:53) It seems that as Wemby was walking through some sort of casino in Vegas while in town for the NBA Summer League Britney approached him from behind for a picture. As she reached out to touch him, a video shows his security slapping her hand away from Wemby. There are also reports of crazy dialogue that only fuels the weirdness of this whole situation.
