As a lawyer, I see very little likelihood this lawsuit will go anywhere. He paid for seasons tickets, he got seasons tickets. He can go to any game and watch it. That he "doesn't enjoy it" doesn't make a lawsuit.
That there is a lawsuit, and that it hit the news, it hurts the NFL.
Which makes it somewhat worth it.
Sorry to hear that...
Couldn't it successfully be argued in a court that if a person purchases a product, particularly in bulk, that he should have a reasonable expectation of its quality upon delivery? His expectation is to be largely entertained (even with the downside of the built in risk of disappointment that he might experience via his team not performing well) within the venue; it's overall value. Personal political statements by the performers and principal staff that are offensive to the plaintiff should substantively void the entertainment value of this product, and he should be reimbursed for such damages. I think it's a great case.
I’m sure it’s like suing a restaurant for your money back because you don’t like their food. I’m sure any judge would tell you, “So don’t go back there anymore. You paid your money and got your food, what can I tell you?”
How about the folks owning/working concessions at the stadiums? They’ve got to have been hurt big time by this cr@p. Could those folks have a case against the NFL?
Season tickets to what?
The issue is not that he doesn’t enjoy the games. The issue is that the owners and players conducted a “bait and switch”.
For years they had provided a service with no left-wing political propaganda.
Then this season they made a unilateral change in their behavior without notifying the season ticket holder in advance.
If he had known the team was going to be a platform for left-wing political agitation he would never buy a ticket.
It looks like fraud to me.
