Tom Brady suspension to be upheld
|
|
Insightful article:
http://www.talkoffamenetwork.com/a-compl...r-the-nfl/ “Among the striking features of the opinion was how foreign the judge found the NFL’s disciplinary process in this case. The judge describes the idea of ‘notice’ – the warning a person has of the likely consequences of misconduct – as fundamental to the CBA and to the American legal system. The process employed by the NFL was completely alien to a judge schooled in the rules and procedures of this country’s approach to resolving disputes. Policies were conflicting and unclear, investigations conducted by parties too close to the key decision makers, and the judge couldn’t find a way to accept the NFL’s approach. While it’s rare for arbitration decisions to be overturned in court – there’s a strong policy favoring upholding them as a product of the agreed upon dispute resolution process between contract parties – the judge found this to be an instance in which judicial intervention was appropriate. “Another thing that stands out in the opinion is the judge’s lack of deference to the sweeping powers of a commissioner to sanction conduct ‘detrimental’ to football. Ever since the post-Black Sox creation of the MLB commissioner position filled by Kennesaw Mountain Landis, sports league commissioners have been viewed as benevolent despots – not just in baseball. This decision, following on the heels of other defeats for the NFL and Goodell, calls that vision of the commissioner’s office into doubt. The judge doesn’t think Goodell was particularly ‘benevolent,’ and certainly doesn’t seem to accept the idea that dictatorial power is appropriate in an industry characterized by unionized labor relations.” Which leads us to this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/spor...y-process/ "Although it’s uncertain whether Goodell’s authority would be reduced, the decision to reevaluate his role resolving appeals is the first solid sign the outcome of Tom Brady’s court case could have a lasting and significant impact on his position." Perhaps there is some good to come of all this after all.
