The Union Weighs in On Player Punishments

saintfan · 05-02-2012, 04:43 PM

NFLPA issues a statement on the New Orleans Saints punishments - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com

"After seeing the NFL's decision letters, the NFLPA has still not received any detailed or specific evidence from the league of these specific players' involvement in an alleged pay-to-injure program. We have made it clear that punishment without evidence is not fair. We have spoken with our players and their epresentatives and we will vigorously protect and pursue all options on their behalf."

So the NFLPA is going against Darth Goodell

Does this mean some suspensions could be retracted?

Yes, its a work place like any other. If the NFL does not prove why they a suspending a employee they will lose millions in the suit for defamation of character, lost wages, etc, and be forced to reinstate that employee.

I'm waiting to hear a statement form Scott Fujita. There is no way he's going to be able to stay quiet. Give it a couple of days....

I don't know if we'll hear from Fujita, but I bet his wife will chime in.

Vindictive mean and arrogant. What a combination.

Goodell essentially signed his resignation papers when he took this on in the way he did. His arrogance has gotten the best of him.

I hope he ages twenty years in the next couple of years over what he started covers. And I hope his hot wife leaves him for a Saintsation's cheerleader!
