I'm a little bit concerned about the Southern District NY filing.
I'm wondering if the fact that virtually every NFLPA case has been filed in Minnesota over the last 30 years or so, and the NFL has never done this before will even come up.
Likely not, but I can't see a Federal Judge in Manhattan is going to allow the case to be heard there.
On the off chance he does? The NFLPA could do worse than a Manhattan Clinton-Appointee Pro-Labor Judge.
It's a clear attempt at forum shopping, and there's a lot of anchoring to the Peterson case in the NFLPA suit, so common sense would indicate the case heads to Minnesota. Of course, this is the U.S. legal system, where common sense is routinely ignored.
