Fan sues Browns, league over lockout

Posted by Mike Florio on March 25, 2011, 7:07 AM EDT

As the saying goes (sort of), live by the lawyer, die by the lawyer.

With the NFL and the NFLPA* knee deep in a pit of barristers, a PSL holder in Cleveland has opted to sue the Browns and the other 31 teams for threatening to renege on his right to watch pro football from his rented seat space.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ken Lanci has asked the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court to prohibit the lockout that was launched nearly two weeks ago.

“What tipped the scale for me is the labor issue between millionaires and billionaires and the fact they can’t settle it when the country is in a recession,” Lanci said. “Worse yet, they have to rub this in our faces.”

Preach it, Ken.

At this moment, the fans haven't lost a single game... I don't understand how this person can win the suit.

Was thinking the same thing.

Would think he would have to wait until the preseason games failed to start before he could have any case at all.

Exactly, by the terms of his contract, even when reasonable expectations are added, there is plenty of room for contract fulfillment. He can't show any damages, at least not yet....or lack of fullfillment upon terms of contract.

Mike, the irony is so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

First, it was decertifying a full week after "the point of no return". Now, it's frivolous lawsuits. What's next? "Mel Kiper shaving his head"???

When has that ever stopped someone from filing a lawsuit?

we are missing out on FA

 

[Hostile]

Well, I back Mr. Lanci 100%.

 

[Yeagermeister]

we are missing out on FA

Not with Jerry in charge :laugh2:

Shut yo face!!!!

There has to be some sort of preemptive strike angle that can be worked.

 

[Hostile]

we are missing out on FA

There are way too many people out there who don't grasp this. The only players who have been signed to new teams are players released by their 2010 team. This is exactly the same as if someone is released during the football season. They are a Free Agent by virtue of the release, but there is no Free Agency because of the release.

Free Agency has not started yet. So we are not missing out.

Attention ***** idiot. The league (and players) should sue him.

Right over your heads. He's making a statement. Could probably care less about a chance in hell of actually winning a lawsuit. Posturing.....like the Owners and the NFLPA have been doing for months now. From a fans perspective.

I doubt attention is his primary motive.

Spite maybe but I doubt he's looking for any attention.

You know how people around here talk about "doing something", this is about as close as any single person can get.

I'm glad he did it. I'd love to see greater numbers follow. It won't make a piss bit of difference but it will at least start getting annoying.
