I've made plenty of arguements based on law you just didn't read them.

The fact is that the NFL like any other business has a right to establish a minimum requirement for employment. Be that a high school diploma, college diploma etc.

The fact is that the bargaining agreement only applies to members of the union. If he isn't drafted and isn't signed then he's not a member. Pretty simple.

The NFL as the licensor of the franchises owns and operates the draft. In effect it certifies that the players are eligible to be drafted by and play for a team. Call it pre-screening if you will. Job placement companies do this for corporations all the time. Can I sue them for not letting me interview for a job I wasn't qualified for? Doubt it.

The teams abide by the rules of the NFL. Draft rules, game rules, drug rules, discipline rules, blah, blah, blah.

Jim Brown, different time, different era followed the rules.

Kobe, still a boy and guilty or not got himself in a mess that's hurting the NBA and it's teams in addition to everyone else.

And since we're playing betcha, I betcha that the NFL wins.

Good grief....the NFL is not like "any other business"...it is a monopoly, and it can not set forth one good reason for it "minimum requirement". And neither can you.

The NFL will not pursue this case....it will let Clarett play through the supplemental draft, just like Cris Carter.
