Zeke Injunction Thread *** UPDATE: Injunction Denied ***

[Ranching]

Because we suck without him! Lol


Why are you guys freakin out??

I believe she had her mind made up about irreparable harm. She needed to hear why this case needed to be heard period.

 

[Silver N Blue]

But .. but .. he's OUR fat and outta shape guy!!

And a fat beast at that

 

[Ghost12]

That's good enough honestly. Didn't the cops not even pursue a case?

That's correct, but unfortunately it's not really relevant here.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Still hard to believe this is the case the league decided to go to war over and cause a work stoppage over.

Took them three months to drop the Jarvis Landry same issue.

 

[Verdict]

If she applies the correct logic to this ruling, she will issue the injunction.

She just needs to ask herself ..

1) Is there a chance Elliott could win his case?
Yes .. she doesn't have to think he will win, just that he can win.

2) Will anyone be negatively impacted if the injunction is not issued?
Yes .. Elliott, Dallas Cowboys, ticker holders (not just Cowboys fans either), etc.

3) Will anyone be negatively impacted if the injunction is issued?
No .. other than maybe NFL public relations, but at this point .. does it matter?

You are thinking like a lawyer. Well played.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but it sounds like she's taking into consideration of other court opinions regarding irreparable harm. If true, to me it makes sense that she's also taking into consideration that the other court also granted the injunction as well. So maybe instead of starting off at square one and hearing the arguments, she's starting at the other courts granted it, and now tell me why they were wrong. To me that's an advantage for Zeke.

There isn't going to be a work stoppage over this. The CBA still has 3 full years left and no one in 2020 is going to care about what happened to Elliott today.

disagree. player suspensions and weed will be front and center.

I can’t help but think if we all start clapping, this will go the right way.

To me, the irreparable harm argument is a no brainer. If he doesn't get the injunction, it's just a slap in the face regarding his chances of winning the actual hearing in a couple months or so. I still like his chances to play out this season, I just wouldn't go betting on next year.

completely disagree. no way the players give the next commissioner the same powers. either the NFL changes the policy or the players walk. IMO

You would think.

The league seems to think that if they eventually lose, they can just back pay Elliott and it's all good. It's a weak argument IMO.

 

[Verdict]

That's called moving the goal posts (standard). It's all in how you frame an issue.

 

[Ghost12]

Oh sure, the issue will be discussed and the players will look to change the language.... but it just won't be a hill the entire union is willing to die on. How many players have actually been impacted by article 46? A half dozen?

You guys should stop freaking about the rushed ruling. It’s being rushed because the TRO expires. The judge just needs to believe there’s at least a 1% chance that Zeke can win in court. And if she doesn’t then Zeke wasn’t winning the case anyway. Then the appeals process comes into play.

They may do if it happens time after time from false accusations from hood rats
