Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
Winning the lawsuit is not important. Getting any positive results from the lawsuit is not important. What is important is that lawsuits are literally the only language you can speak, that a big corporation like the NFL will actually understand. Our society is so messed up these days, this is how you actually communicate with a large corporation. Through a lawsuit. I'm so glad this guy is suing, because it is allowing people to SPEAK, it is opening up the communication, from voices that otherwise the league would ignore and sweep under the rug and NEVER hear from. I say, let the lawsuit move forward, let it speak its piece, let the courts or the judge decide, let's see where it all goes. This is the only way the NFL will ever understand anything. And in theory the discovery portion of this lawsuit could potentially eventually reveal information to the world, about the NFL that otherwise would be buried and hidden from the light. So I think it's great that no matter what happens, in some fashion the league will be forced to respond to it. But again, this is the only language that a business like the NFL will actually understand.

Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
What I don't like is the people who say, 'regardless of the call Saints had early opportunities to capitalize on and they didn't blah blah blah" ANYTHING that happened prior to that non-call DOESN'T MATTER the team shooting itself in the foot has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with the NFL missing a game changing call. Correction* Not calling a game changing call, there's a difference

But I agree, the right thing to do here is to go back to the point of the foul (or would-be foul), and pick it up from there. I don't know what makes anyone think that would be a low road. There are low roads, for sure. Threatening people, for instance. You don't want to stoop to that level to get what you want. But, in this case, it's just a matter of exercising a rule that is already in existence (though, never used), and righting a wrong. It wasn't a close play. It wasn't "human error". It was so obvious that it HAD to be deliberate. If it wasn't, then that ref is completely incompetent. In either case, this is an extenuating circumstance that should call for the commissioner to finally exercise his ability to make something right. If this isn't the right time for it, then the rule shouldn't even exist. |

WOW he told him in "anger" almost "HEY,..I said no penalty" SMH it's sad I will ALWAYS be a Saints fan, BUT never could I support the NFL and it's manipulation of the game and their poor accountability

PTSD doesn't just come from things done to a person, it also comes from things a person has done as well. Civilization subjectively rationalizes reasons and circumstances that make killing and stealing okay to do... doesn't make it so. |

I'm not attempting, in any way, to marginalize or over simplify the fallout of war on a veterans life. What I am saying is simply that if you are fighting for the freedom of your country, that is a righteous cause. Sometimes, tragic things happen in the process. I get that. I said it was a righteous cause, not a glamorous and perfect one. Because on the flip side of those wives, mothers and children of your enemies being effected, is that if you don't eliminate the enemy, it will be your family who will suffer. I realize that criminals can rationalize things in their own minds to make themselves think it's ok. But those kinds of people aren't actually rational, are they? When someone is threatening your citizens, there is nothing to rationalize. It's very simple: You take them out. There is no fine line there. And those who say otherwise are snowflakes. They concern themselves with the ugliness of war, without bothering to think about the consequences of leaving our enemies unchecked. They live in a fantasy world, where they believe that you can just go in and neatly pluck out the bad guys, and poof, everything is fine. If a soldier takes a life of a non combatant civilian, intentionally, then that is murder. But that's not the righteous cause I'm speaking of, obviously. |

Goodell talks about protecting the integrity of the game. Here’s a chance to make it right and earn real respect nationwide.

Your statement, itself, I was NOT trying to prove you wrong on. You believe that the definition of "righteous" is all in the eye of the beholder. I'm giving you my opinion that it is not. I'm defending you, and your status as a veteran. Whatever misgivings you might have, I'm trying to tell you that the cause is right. The outcome might not always be what we want, and the fallout is going to effect each person differently. If you take offense to that and only see it as an argumentative, "I'm right, you're wrong" type of thing, then I'm sorry you see it that way. The way I see it, I'm just trying to help you see something you might not have considered. |
Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
RULE SUMMARY VIEW OFFICIAL RULE
USE OF THE HELMET It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. Note: The tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box. Penalty: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified. The NFL pays meticulous attention to every detail that goes into putting on a professional football game — LEAGUE GOVERNANCE Ensuring a consistent and fair game that is decided on the field, by the players. ALL LIES AS IN SUPER BOWL LIE!! |

is like a no. 1 pick in the first round, HUGE bust. Shoulda been cut/fired long ago. Besides no comment/restitution. Al Riveron still employed and ref no. 60 still employed. Also need to inquire why Vinovich, who clearly saw the infraction, did not conference w/ refs involved. Vinovich needs to go also. The officiating in the NFL has been so sh1tty for the last several years, that it has been hard to watch any game that doesn't involve the Saints. I hope he and the league can afford the protection/security he'll nee, the next time he's in the Dome. Hey Roger the Dodger; I ain't watching your sorry ass SB 53; and you can also count my absence to the Pro Bowl, you ruined years ago. |
