Law in Sports
Sports law is new in India. Despite having several federations and independent bodies in India, our country lacks a good sports system, and it fails in every major event due to a precise and uniform law for sports. We try to find the answers through “Law in Sports”.
The Bridge is the ONLY digital media house extensively covering the unheard aspects of Indian Sports through textual and visual storytelling. We are here to bring about a change in the sports ecosystem and most importantly, a change in you.
