Doesn't Vilma have to prove that it hurt him in someway to win? Like losing his job?

I read the documents, sounds like sponsors are dropping Vilma.
That's most likely the case.

I also think that losing (forfeiting) an entire year of pay on a multi-million dollar contract can pretty much be considered "hurt" even for a millionaire.

As fans we should have the right to know why they're taking one of our key players off the field. Somebody else said that somewhere, and while I realize it's a bit over the top, I pretty much agree. If I were a season ticket holder I'd be even more pissed than I am from our here on the west coast. Seriously.

About time Vilma get his ass out the NFL

I hope Vilma is going after 10-20X the amount his contract would be worth plus any bonuses...

Let the comissioner ask for a move (as long as it stays in Louisiana).

Finally. I wonder Why it took this long, I guess they wanted to wait till Goodell dug his grave.

Timing is EVERYTHING! Just when you thought it would die down, a big crap burger is delivered to Roger Goodell's house.

Notice the sounds of silence in the media.... that's the sound of jaws dropping to the ground...
