Retirees file suit attacking the 2011 Draft

[Mr. Scot]

From PFT: Retired players file a class-action lawsuit that primarily attacks the draft

What good do they hope to accomplish with this? I honestly have no idea :nonod:

They are just jumping on the "gravy train". They are counting on Nelson giving the union (and retires) everything they want. She was appointed by the Obama administration under a democrat controlled Congress. I really don't see a favorable judgment for "the man" (the owners) coming down, against the (or any) union. But it COULD happen...I guess :lol:

Different lawyer trying to make a name for himself. That's all this is. He wants to be known as one of the guys that sued the NFL.

And line his pockets (hundreds of $$$ per hour billed) , cause they ( the lawyers) are the only real winners here (regardless of the outcome)....:mad:

What the HELL are you talking about?

Pretty self explanatory...to much politics involved in the court rooms now-a-days...I expect this to no different.

[Mr. Scot]

Part of me wonders if this wasn't encouraged by the NFLPA at least a little.

They screwed up big time with the whole "rookies shouldn't attend the draft" thing (which they're now trying to claim they never said) and they know it. But I'd guess they still want to somehow assail the draft, and this would be a way of doing it without being directly connected.

What the HELL are you talking about?

Well they're a union and the judge something something Obama so they're in the tank for Barry who is in the tank for...unions. Duh. And also there's George Soros.

Also fun fact I just Googled "in the tank for Barry" and it returned 5,190 results.

In case some missed the link:

"The fact that Judge Nelson was nominated by President Obama and appointed by a Congress controlled by Democrats is another reason for the players to not be complaining."

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not ready to buy that automatically means she signs with the players.

It's possible, but as I recall Doty was a Reagan appointee.

[Lords0fPain]

Anything is possible. I hope that she is at least fair. Regan was a pretty fair President, though. I remember the last 2 Supreme Court nominees Obama appointed, just makes me think Nelson may be of the same mold.

Don't know if Doty was making contributions to Republican Presidential campaigns, either. Nelson has for Clinton (Bill) and Kerry. Shows there is a left leaning, regardless.

Hope I'm wrong, but not holding my breath.
