What would the basis of a court appeal be? Is there anything besides a law suit to threaten the league's antitrust exemption? I'm genuinely interested. It isn't like the Brady appeal which was a labor-management issue.
I assume you are talking about Jonathon saying they would only get money if they sued?But you can only get cash back if you appeal.
Just a question, but with 169 posts since Aug 21 is your sole purpose on this site to come here to bash Kraft?I assume you are talking about Jonathon saying they would only get money if they sued?
Just another example of the Krafts hoping we are stupid enough to take their lame excuses at face value. If something is going to happen that will cause irreparable harm to a claimant before the case can be heard, an injunction is generally granted to prevent that thing from happening before the courts can settle the matter. In this case, either the NFL would be prohibited from holding the draft, or they'd have to let us use our pick and pay the penalty the following year. That, of course, would be if they had a chance in hell of winning, which I don't think they do.

I think that's the mark of a troll if I'm not mistaken.
Generally speaking, courts will hear cases involving actions they consider blatantly unfair or egregious, even if the party has waived the right to sue.What would the basis of a court appeal be?

Now THAT'S a troll response. What's next "I'm rubber your glue....."
I could care less who likes or dislikes what I post. I call it like I see it. Nothing fake here.
Since they've gotten exactly nowhere so far, appealing wouldn't have left them any worse off and it would likely have gotten them a chance to go on the record in Court and forced the NFL to respond under Oath and pain of perjury.Great. Exactly how far do you think appealing to Goodell would have gotten the Pats?

It is certainly within your rights to waive your integrity for any reason.Meh. When responding to baseless troll accusations, meaningless evidence should be fair game.

Actually, we don't know that. We know an appeal wasn't going to get anywhere. So then you're left with a lawsuit. No one knows what the ramifications of that would be since the owners have as part of their by laws or constitution or whatever that no owner can sue the league. Whether or not there would be retribution against the team in the face of Kraft suing the league and what form that retribution might take is unknown.Since they've gotten exactly nowhere so far, appealing wouldn't have left them any worse off and it would likely have gotten them a chance to go on the record in Court and forced the NFL to respond under Oath and pain of perjury.
In other words, there are no reasonably conceivable circumstances under which they would have been worse off than they are today had they begun an Appeal process that evolved into a legal process and there is a reasonable chance that they would be better off if for no other reason than the added pressure such a process would have brought to bear on the League.
Bob Kraft blew it. He knows it. And, he's admitted it on the record. He was wrong not to appeal and at least keep his legal options open.
