Question:

In regard to the Karas decision discussed earlier, the court held that in sports characterized as “full-contact sports” (specifically, ice hockey and football) rules violations are an inherent part of the game and therefore, to hold a party liable for a violation of a rule, would “chill” participation in that sport. Discuss the ramifications of the new standard developed in the Karas decision as you write a memorandum opposing the Karas rationale to an association of youth ice hockey administrators. 

Remember that the ice hockey association in the Karas case had already deemed checking from the back to be dangerous behavior, since the word STOP was printed on the back of all players’ jerseys.
