Saints fans file class-action lawsuit against NFL, Goodell
Quote:
NEW ORLEANS -- A group of New Orleans Saints fans are taking NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to federal court, seeking $80 million in damages.
Led by David James Macina, a St. Tammany resident and Saints season-ticket holder, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Goodell in the U.S. District Court for the punishments meted against Saints players, coaches and management for their roles in the bounty scandal.
The $80 million judgment that the plaintiffs are seeking comes from the damages brought on by Goodell and the NFL from gutting the team through suspensions, which devalued tickets, and the emotional hardship fans have had to endure during the scandal.
[View Full Quote]The lawsuit contends that Mancina and other season ticket holders “purchased their tickets with the representation, and expectation, from the Commissioner and the League that the Saints would be capable of competitively fielding a contending team comprised of the finest athletes, and the best coaches, under contract with the New Orleans Saints, or available to them through normal trades and draft choices, without dictatorial, unreasonable, vindictive, and unfounded, interference from the Commissioner and the League, devoid of due process.”

You know your country has lost its marbles when things like this are even allowed.

Saints fans endured way more hardship during all the years the franchise sucked. Of course there weren't many Saints fans around at that time. |
