The USMNT Imbroglio

Welcome to the Sports and Compliance podcast. For the longest time, I have wanted to have a podcast on the intersection of Sports and the World of Compliance and Ethics, both for those stories as they play out on the Sports Page and for the lessons they provide to business executives and compliance professionals. In this podcast series, I am joined by one of the top compliance commentators, Stephen Martin, CCO at Skillsoft. Together, we will use our love of sports and competition to discuss current ethical issues in sports, look at compliance through a sports lens, and determine how the world of sports and its stories can guide the compliance professional.

In this episode, we take up the imbroglio involving the US Men’s National Soccer team.  

Our topics include:

·      Is whistleblowing for revenge valid?

·      Is a 30-year-old event the basis for termination?

·      What are the responsibilities of a player to a coach? From a coach to a player?

·      What should the investigation entail?

In this episode, we are joined by Lisa Fine, co-host of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, Buffalo, NY native, and uber Buffalo Bills fan. We deep dive into the Damar Hamlin injury from the compliance and leadership perspectives. Our topics include:

  • Lisa’s reflections on the annus horribillus Buffalo had in 2022 and how the Bills are, in many ways they are the city’s glue.
  • How did we all feel watching it in live time?
  • What were the NFL’s policy and procedural failures in crisis response and management?
  • The leadership demonstrated by the coaches and players in the face of being told to return to play.
  • Why verifying information before reporting it is so critical?
  • The role of ESPN.
  • The role of the stadium EMS personnel.
  • This story has united the entire country in a way not seen for some time.
