You have some law experience, right? Could you shed some light on what kind of lawsuit Jones could levy? It seems that "conduct detrimental" gives Goodell an enormous amount of leeway, as seen in the Brady case. I'm not a lawyer, however, so my understanding of the matter is admittedly incomplete. Player rights vs franchise rights are probably quite different, I imagine. Curious about your input.
I am not a lawyer, but since Goodell won the Brady Appeal Case, federal judges agree with Goodell that Article 46 gives him the right to literally do anything he wants, including to lie, cheat or steal.
It was a monumental case for this very reason. All the trolls and loser NFL fans stilll wanting Brady suspended, even though it was proven in court this was a framejob, can also be blamed for this because these owners are doing what their own fans want.
This bastardization of "Article 46" obviously has created this monster and slippery slope, so Jones has no chance of winning anything in court due to that critical ruling.
IMO, it's clear Goodell paid off Judge Chin in particular, to make sure they won that appeal.
Highly comical to me that Jones was likely an outlier owner outside of the usual suspects (Johnson, Rooney, Mara, Irsay, Bisciotti, etc), but with alot of power to wield, encourgaing them to go after Brady, due his own jealousy of Kraft and the idea that if his team was in the SB, maybe it wouldn't be against the Pats, for a better chance at winning.
It's basically a version of "owner cheating" right in front of the NFL customer.
This kind of behavior will eventually destroy the league as we know it.
