Rexorcism Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hee hee hee, Hey Chowdaheads dont forget to come running to defend urselves... http://nypost.com/2016/04/06/patriots-fans-are-more-delusional-than-you-think/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Patriots fans are more delusional than you think BOSTON — A group of New England Patriots fans have sued the NFL in an effort to recover the first-round draft pick taken from the team as punishment for the “Deflategate” scandal. The seven fans include a season ticket holder from Connecticut who said the scandal has left his 7-year-old daughter disillusioned and a Florida man who said the NFL’s sanctions have caused him stress and lost sleep. The complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Boston says the NFL made an “arbitrary and capricious” decision to revoke the pick in this month’s draft even though there is no proof the team deliberately deflated footballs in the Jan. 18, 2015, AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and racketeering. The NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell and team owner Robert Kraft are named as defendants.

The complaint says the league and Goodell relied on “false premises and biased ‘investigations'” in handing down punishment, which also included a $1 million fine and a four-game suspension for quarterback Tom Brady. Brady’s suspension remains under appeal. The suit criticizes Kraft for not fighting the league’s punishments harder. “Defendant Robert Kraft had remedies to attempt to get plaintiffs’ draft pick back, but he chose his fellow billionaire owners above the plaintiffs and fellow fans,” the suit said. Sports law experts tell the Boston Herald the suit is a Hail Mary because fans don’t have standing in the matter. “Paying for a ticket to watch the Patriots play isn’t interfered with by the team losing a draft pick or two,” said Michael McCann, a sports law professor at the University of New Hampshire Law School.

rex-n-effect Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Standing is the most glaring problem but it's not the only problem. There is no privity of contract between the NFL and a ticketholder. To the extent a ticketholder or PSL holder has a contractual relationship with the team it is limited in scope and surely does not obligate the team to produce a team of a certain performance or entitle the consumer to involvement in the decisions of the team. So all those contractual claims are dead. The NFL owes no legal duty to ticketholders to conduct business among the owners fairly. So no negligence claims there. No team owes a legal duty to its fans to fight disciplinary actions. So those negligence-based claims go nowhere. That nonsense about the arbitrary and capricious decision is silly. The NFL spent a million dollars to determine whether some balls were deflated. One can disagree with the results but there's little room for an argument that the decision was arbitrary or capricious.

My favorite part of the thing is that they're claiming hardship in explaining this to their kids. The same people who dismiss the impact of integrity and sportsmanship on children are claiming that a fictional witch hunt is a bigger issue for kids. The children of Boston are going to grow up having no concept of personal accountability. Maybe each them that instead of frivolous lawsuits.
