Again, this is ********, Al Davis could not sue the league and he did it multiple times and won. The league charter also has a provision where all teams will be treated equally i am sure. If the league breaks it contract with a club, the club can sue. Jones threatened to sue over serving pepsi and the league backed down.
Davis had damages. The Patriots would be suing based on the legal framework they agreed to, that the commissioner has the power to levy any punishment on a team [not on a player due to the union contract] and that there is no appeal.
They can't sue for the monetary damages, so do they sue for defamation of character, based on the commissioner enforcing the powers that they gave him?
How could they win a lawsuit? What damages are there that they didn't agree to forego?
