speaking like someone who has a real dislike for the judicial system and couldn't wait to jump on this little ESPN article. I will say our system of jurisprudence is most certainly not perfect but it is by far the very best known to man. One reason is that the doors of justice are open to all-the deserving and the non deserving; the articulate and the non articulate; the poor and the wealthy; the smart and the ignorant; Saints' fans and Ram fans. . But once inside there are strict filters that weed out bad cases. These filters are old, time proven, and are remarkable in their efficiency. Some slip through the cracks that should have been eliminated earlier but that is the price of having our courts open to all. You may not like it but I challenge you to enlighten us to a better system.
The filter in the subject case is when the judge will surely say "show me what you got". Then the reality hits and the Plaintiff must bring something called "facts" to the table. You are correct in one point: the non-call is certainly the fuel than sparks the firepower that runs the engine. However, there are many parts that must function to get the car on the highway. In this case the car may just be the vehicle in which the NFL's system of reviewing calls and non-calls can be exposed. Nevertheless, until and unless you have seen the original pleadings you have absolutely no idea what the theories are and you most certainly don't know what facts exist to support those theories. Your one case fits all or "I know what this case is really all about" attitude shows a fundamental lack of understanding the function of our system of jurisprudence.
Might I suggest a high school class at night: Civics 101 ?
