VILMA suspended for season....

biloxi-indian · 05-02-2012, 05:06 PM

The NFL (RG) is between a rock and hard spot. With Vilma's PR it appears he is prepared to challenge his suspension in court if necessary. If RG or a court reduces or dismisses Vilma's suspension, how is the NFL (RG) going to maintain Payton, Loomis, and Vitt's (even Williams) suspensions.

Vilma will have the NFLPA on his side.

If RG upholds Vilma's suspension, then to court Vilma will go. Might take time, but RG had better have his lawyers and ducks in a row!!!!!!

IMHO, this "could" get interesting.

If Vilma wins in court, the floodgates will open and every person suspend will follow suit. They can all make easy money suing the NFL. Some will wait 5 years, some like SP, I imagine will sue immediately.
Not sure if Benson would sue, he's more a part of the NFL.
