Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell

It's a waste of time to take the NFL to court over the outcomes of games. It's already been ruled in court that the NFL has no obligation to provide a fair outcome to a contest.

A bad look is slamming a team for a 'safety issue' then allowing a no-call on a 'safety issue'.. There are a lot of bad looks about this, I dont see filing suit as one of them.

I am tired of my team being the leagues abuse doll.

Hey look, I think those are bad looks too. But cmon man, your telling me those bad calls don't go our way sometimes? Those bad calls work for and against everyone at some point.

So, yeah, Frank D'Amico filing a lawsuit for public gain is a bad look for me. And also, I was brought up to believe that you don't counter a "bad look" with another one. Take the high road and leave that for the bottom feeders.

I agree completely that taking the high road is always the best approach........
except when some one does something as agrigeous as stealing a Super Bowl appearance from you. Then you’re justified in kicking them in the nuts...hard enough so that they never do it to you again. Hard enough so they never think of doing it again, ever. Hard enough so that sexual reassignment surgery crosses their mind.

I get your frustrations. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I'm so freaking pissed but to me, lashing out only makes it worse.

Let me be clear... I am not asking for damages. I am not asking for anything above and beyond. The leagues bylaws have a clause just for this situation and we are not talking about a holding or off-sides call. This was a defenseless receiver, pass interference, and helmet to helmet...

Forcing Goddell to use the powers granted him is hardly a low road expectation.

I am willing to bet good money they didn't call the penalties just to force the game into overtime so the league could have higher ratings and more exciting games. Well they f5cked up.

We’ve never met, but I can possibly identify the likely reason for our differing responses. I’m 65 years old. I lived through the Aint’s. Through wearing bags to games. Through years of losing seasons and last second losses. People my age thought this BS was behind us with the coming of Brees and Payton. For the most part it was. Then two years in a row, games with Super Bowl ramifications were effectively stolen from us. One legally. One, for all practical purposes, illegally. People like me, who’ve live through the years of pain, are having flash backs.

I agree with every word of this. When your enemy only ever fights dirty, you fight them at their level. The high road doesn't work under these sort of circumstances.

Um, so, the low road does? Negative.

Not a bad/missed call at all. Its an intentional manipulation of the outcome of the game for entertainment/marketing purposes.

Hadn't seen this before, but it deserves more attention. I was never on the bandwagon of the game being 'fixed'... but I am not sure how much more evidence you would need. The official is telling his colleague (who saw it as PI) to not throw the flag.
