Marijuana as Medicine Gets NFL-Backed Consideration

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the NFL and its players association announcing joint agreements that will address pain management and behavioral health. As part of the agreements, the league and union will work together to address pain management and potential treatments, including the use of marijuana. Also discussed is New York golf courses being poised to keep their tax breaks after a repeal attempt faltered. The fight happened after Trump National Golf Club in suburban New York challenged its assessed value. And also talked about is Nascar's $2 billion acquisition of International Speedway Corp, more tightly combining two companies already controlled by the France Family. Nascar has been seeking a minority investment.
