Judge Dismisses Who ‘Dat’s Mental Anguish Claim Against Goodell, NFL
Quote:
US District Judge Ginger Berrigan has dismissed a class action lawsuit filed by David Mancina of Mandeville.
Mancina was seeking 5 million dollars in damages from the the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell for “Mental suffering” as a result of the Saints’ disappointing 7-9 season.
The suit claims league’s bounty investigation, and subsequent suspensions of players, coaches and its general manager directly resulted in the team’s sub-par performance, causing emotional stress to Saints season ticket holders.
Berrigan rejected that. She wrote in her ruling, “Rather, that agony has been much more widely felt by the Who Dat Nation.”
Mancina’s suit claimed he and other ticket holders were due monetary compensation for the diminished value of their tickets, and their “personal emotional reaction to the unwarranted penalties inflicted on their beloved team, players, coaches, and executives.”
[View Full Quote]Judge Berrigan rejected this, saying a season ticket holder is no more subject to emotional stress from this unprecedented situation than any other fan.

 There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.
