Plaintiffs always go for the deep pockets. That’s not the officials, but the owners and the league itself.
Typical ignorant Town Hall article.
Players cannot sue the league, nor the owners, since they have signed the notice of hazards when they joined.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
How many people are there with you under your bridge right now?

Succer isn’t a sport; it’s training to accept unjust authority, and align with gangs.

in this country and I, for one, think it is pretty dumb.” <<

But it makes for great Democrat talking points.
>> “San Francisco is probably still paying for Candlestick Park” <<

Chuck Harney bore most of the cost of Candlestick, and naming it for the bird, rather than the philanthropist that built it was a crude insult.
Back to the Bridge game at the lyebeary, huh?
We got the speech from the doctor during a sports physical checkup.
Instead of providing liability limits, to preserve the game, if the legislators had any common sense and compassion, they would outlaw playing it, due to the serious risks. And I mean outlaw, PERIOD, not just outlaw it at the professional or paid level.
Nope, I have been out chopping wood today. It was a little cold to be shooting at targets, which I ofttimes do.
Nor I would be caught dead at a bridge game; the OP is definitely not a social animal. This excuse for parties we call the Super Bowl—the game is incidental, it appears—is for others, not me.
First, the officials' business entity has insurance - and that pocket will be deep.
Second, it will take a lawsuit and discovery against the officials to generate enough evidence against the NFL to pierce the assumption of risk defense that the NFL enjoys.
So the strategy would be first to sue some officials individually and/or their association/union, and anticipate that the officials will say they were instructed by either their union/association or by the NFL itself not to call certain violations, even tho they’re written in the rules?
Get over yourself.
Actually players ARE suing the league. Talk about stupid stupid stupid.
Soup? - or - Bowl?
Winning, of course, is the question.
They will not. It would destroy all pro sports ($$$)
Actually if it goes to trial the players WILL win because in the early 90s the league published a report that said there was no evidence of long term side effects from head injuries. The league lied to them, in official documentation, they will lose. But it won’t go to trial, because Goodell came up the PR side of the house and he knows how bad the PR hit will be with a trial even if they win.
You’ll be as accurate on this as everything else: Zilch!
You really need to stop drinking and posting. Your need to flame is pathetic. which makes your tag line funny, because you’re the dumb you see over and over and over.
you can take it from there any way you want
