Class Action Lawsuit Against NFL, Players and Players’ Union
Just had a phonecon with a partner at my old firm in DC. They are establishing a class of injured plaintiffs who are being denied the enjoyment promised when they bought season tickets to NFL games, their children exposed to anti-Americanism, psychological trauma among vets and family members who lost loved ones in wars,
Defendants will be the League, individual teams, individual players in teams where an identifiable segment of the class of plaintiffs are located, and the players’ union. Other plaintiffs’ class will be those who bought season passes to watch games on Cable. Others might be vendors in the stadiums, fan apparel manufacturers, etc.
Compared to some recent class action litigation, this will be easy….and NFL will pay through the nose. I would expect the fees for the plaintiffs’ lawyers alone will easily run 60 to 150 million dollars. The class will probably get 50 to 70% their season ticket cost as settlement damages.
This will be fun.
Thank you
Remember, age and treachery will beat youth and exuberance every time.

Bingo!
See # 99
Additionally, these are issues of fact: what did the ticket holders have a right to expect? Juries are triers of facts.
Judges are triers only of law. It would not get kicked.
“This forum gets more insane by the day. Sure, lets clog up the courts with more garbage lawsuits. I thought this was a conservative forum “
Yeah! We only play fair! That is why we usually LOSE.
In reading the news
I just saw a post that cited the NFL rule, with the section of the rules. It was very clear about standing for the anthem. Unless that is fake news, the players are in violation.
