Judge Rules Tom Brady's Suit Moved To New York 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jul 30, 2015 3:27 pm

U.S. District Judge Richard H. Kyle in Minnesota ordered Thursday that the NFLPA's lawsuit on behalf of Tom Brady be transferred to the Southern District of New York.

"This court perceives no reason for this action to proceed in Minnesota," Kyle wrote in his ruling.

On Wednesday, the NFLPA filed suit in Minnesota alleging that Brady's punishment was not fair and consistent. It also claims that the appeal hearing "defied any concept of fundamental fairness" and that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was partial in his decision to uphold the suspension.

The players association filed the suit in Minnesota where they had won previous litigation against the NFL.
