If an employee is classified as a contractor, the employer isn't obligated to withhold and remit employment taxes. If a trainer misclassifies employees, the trainer could be subject to lawsuits and claims by misclassified workers. Velie pointed out that the COMPETE Act of 2007 (Creating Opportunities for Minor League Professionals, Entertainers, and Teams Act) enabled minor league affiliate teams of Major League Baseball to secure visas for young players without having to join the larger pool of applications of H2B work visas, of which a limited number are available annually.
"Disney on Ice needed ice dancers," Velie said, "so ice dancing got put into the bill, even though it's not a major league sport."
"Horse racing is the progenitor of American sports," he added. "It deserves to be on the same level as ice dancing."
