Abstract
This paper pleads for revisiting the ECJ’s 1995 Bosman ruling by jointly using a sports law as well as a social welfare approach, which will yield partly dissimilar yet potentially converging results regarding the precariousness of sports employment and the socio-economic as well as psycho-social vulnerability of players and athletes. The paper further advocates for using the 2012 EU Guidelines on Dual Careers as a benchmark for soft-law based initiatives aimed at better protecting players and athletes against the social risks associated with sporting careers. Finally, the paper will demonstrate the need for an interdisciplinary discourse on the challenges identified, involving legal, social science, social policy, social work as well as genuine sport policy perspectives.
