No so fast their guys/girls. Many have brought up the $3.00 penalty the NFL had to pay. Looking at it slightly differently, the NFL lost and was found to be a monopoly. Don't you think that Clarrett's lawyers are going pound this down the NFL's throat?

Also, I'm not saying that the NFL is preventing him from going to Canada to play, what I am saying is that the NFL is prohibiting him from working in THE NFL!!!! The NFL was(as others have pointed out) proven to be a monopoly. This same monopoly is refusing a grown man(no child labor laws here) the right to work. We are not talking about a blind person applying for a pilot's job. We are talking about a BS age limit where there is precedent enough(MLB,NBA,NHL,etc...) to make it unlawful.

You were saying the NFL didn't want it's monopoly laundry aired in court, I just pointed out it already was.

No you said they were preventing him from "earning a living", you didn't stipulate "in the NFL" you were across the board which is a false statement.

The NHL has an age limit, they've lowered it but it's never been challenged. It's not BS, the court rulings that have told employers they aren't allowed to screen their employees are BS.

In the NFL or in PRO FOOTBALL? There is a difference.

Not only that, are you now saying that the League cannot pick and choose, based on whom they WISH to employ? HR departments nationwide will cringe at that one.
