Missouri Supreme Court invalidates Commissioner as arbitrator, can ruling on Hardy be overturned now

[casmith07]

I've learned to never try to guess how a judge, jury or arbitrator will rule

Arbitrators, perhaps. Judges do not like it when a party tries to re-hash the same stuff over and over after the Judge has already said no.

The main thing this will affect is the next collective bargaining agreement.

Yeah I have feeling the next CBA will have the owners over the barrell since they have stood with Goodell on everything. I think the next lock out will be a very long one.

This decision won't invalidate the Hardy report by lead investigator Lisa Friel which resulted in the 10 game suspension but it will help Hardy's appeal be heard by an impartial arbitrator.

Yes. It is.

The national news on every single situation is mob driven. They do what sales. What adds views and clicks.

It's worse than mob. It is social media driven in large part as well and the interwebs is full of antisocial behavior you would never see people do irl. Internet aspergers is real.

I don't know if you can call getting paid your full check without playing punishment. But we'll see.

Just a point of legality, why would the Missouri Supreme Court case have any bearing on the Cowboys or the legal? I can see in the case of the Rams who operate out of the state of Missouri. But the Missouri Supreme Court isn't a federal court. So how would this ruling influence the Hardy case?

For our resident lawyers.

I believe it provides a blueprint for the NFLPA to secure a neutral arbitrator.
