Somebody has to go the other way.


Yup. My post was sort of tongue and cheek.

I wonder if the threat of a player/coach boycott next year would force the issue.

Well, he has a long and rich history of racism to provide context to that conversation. It's not an isolated incident.

If he wins that then every owner who's ever been fined for criticizing the officials could also sue for damages. Unless of course there's some sort of written agreement that an owner can't say crap that makes the league look stupid.

So what?


Right.

Headline: Husband beats wife.

Comments: Lots of husbands beat their wives it just doesn't go public and those husbands wouldn't want that info released to the public.

Why say this?

Complete bs. He was racist so fine him. You can't force an owner out like that, interfering in the private sector does not set a good precedent. Not saying he wasn't wrong but this is way to severe.
