I'd guess Pacman will sue the NFL

Yeah! It's just you.:ha:

 

Is the NFL a private business? I thought there was a team owned by their fans, Packers maybe?

 

and the legal system does have a right to tell a private business to punish.

For example they can tell them that beheadings are not allowed.

 

When it all comes down to brass tacks, The NFL is just like NASCAR, if you don't want to play by their rules, you can pick up your toys and go home. It's their show and you play by their rules!

 

They did come down too hard on him.

They should have come down "too hard" on Ray Lewis too.

And while it would be great for the Titans if it was just a token suspension for the preseason, a year suspension is something the league is empowered to do.

 

I really don't think anyone is arguing for anything that lenient, I know I'm not, I just think a full year is a bit excessive, I think about what Henry got would be addequate to get the point accross, which is really all he's trying to do with this, I think.

 

While that's true, contracts have different standards, and you can provide for specific things in contracts that are not usually acceptable under the law. Private businesses can do what they want. Private schools can discriminate, employees can create their own rules for firing contingencies. In this case, the NFL was allowed to create it's own discipline system for "conduct" violations. Because the NFL wrote the contract, they didn't have to mean that conduct violating their policy would require a conviction, or even an arrest. They left it vague, which gave them more control. Also giving them more power is the language about embarassing the league. Image is a powerful tool, and is something that the NFL has the right to protect. The law is on their side here, not pacman's.

 

Of course he can sue!

Here in America, this day and time, my dog can get a lawyer to sue the city of Nashville, the Sports Authority, the state of Tennessee, the Titans and the NFL for making the tree planters, protecting the stadium, to high for him to pee on the trees. It is causing him great mental distress. Belive me some lawyer would take the case.

Of course, the two law firms he is PAYING are going to sue. They have to look like they are doing something to earn their fees.

 

And there is the problem with the world today ... no one takes responsibility for their own actions and much prefer to sue. "oh my coffee was too hot and I burned my tongue I'll sue for a gazillion dollars" ... load of fekkin pish.

This pathetic individual should shut his coupon and take his punishment whether that comes from the NFL or the legal system.
