I'll bet he appeals to the Supreme Court. I doubt they hear it, though.Really not even an issue IMO. It was a ridiculous request with little merit from the beginning from both a legal and common sense perspective. Be accountable, take your medicine and move on. don't make this define your legacy when you are a great player. I hope he bows out, takes his suspension and then says the issue is over and "no comments" his way through the next months (years?) of questions on the topic.
Awww....
I'm taking your GF to Pennsylvania this week, wanna come along? No kids, though...
Id love to
So i will
Here's the thing, though: if the players want to get that, they'll have to give something back to the NFL. Are they willing to take a smaller percentage of revenues to get that? Or are they willing to go to an 18 game season? They can't expect the owners to just give something up without giving up something in return.From all I have read, the main issue being contested is whether Goodell should have the power to just arbitrarily suspend whoever for whatever. The problem is that the player's union allowed Goodell to put that in the CBA.
So, as far as I can see, the players just have to eat the shit and grin through it.
Until time for the next CBA to be negotiated.
And, after what Goodell has done with that power, I can promise you that no way in hell does the player;s union agree to that ever again.
We could end up with a future labor dispute in the NFL just over Goodell's abuse of power if he refuses to budge in the next CBA negotiations.
