Shannon Sharpe's Bold PR Strategy, Disclosure of Artemi Panarin's Confidential Settlement, and NIL State of Affairs
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) is joined by Tarun Sharma (@tksharmalaw) to dive into one of the most heavy-topic intense filled with high-stakes lawsuits, PR stunts, and NIL chaos.A defamation suit involving Shannon Sharpe has escalated dramatically. Sharpe is accused of sexual assault, but his PR response may be even more shocking: going public about a potential sex tape and releasing explicit texts to sway public opinion. The duo break down the legal contradictions, media strategy, and what might come next for Club Shay Shay and its $100M future.Next, a settled sexual assault claim involving Rangers star Artemi Panarin was leaked, despite NDAs and no admission of wrongdoing. With both Panarin and MSG having agreed to a confidential resolution, how did this story end up on The Athletic’s front page? From Nico Iamaleava’s transfer saga to the Arkansas AD hinting at legal action against athletes breaking NIL deals, the wild world of name, image, and likeness continues to spiral. Are we moving toward enforceable buyouts? What does “portal free agency” really mean? And how long until the NCAA or collective bargaining steps in to clean it all up?***Have a topic you want to write about? ANYONE and EVERYONE can publish for ConductDetrimental.com.
