Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter to participate in public draft-day party in Boulder

Damn...NFL fined Falcons 250k and the assistant who's kid did the call 100k. Are we really that upset about a prank phone call?
 
That assistant should be fired for allowing his kid access to the records, intentionally or not.

Lol it was a phone number on an iPad not classified government documents. I'm sure it sucked for Shadeur and it piled on what was already a shitty day but 350k in fines is ridiculous. It's a fucking joke prank call at the end of the day

That's just dumb. If they like that coach, why in the hell would they fire him over a prank phone call to Sanders?
 
:L Shoot all the lawyers.


The filing alleges the NFL violated:

  • The Sherman Antitrust Act because teams colluded to influence Sanders' fall to the fifth round;
  • The Civil Rights Act because that fall "may have been influenced by racial discrimination"
  • Consumer protection laws because the league misrepresented the "nature of the drafting process and qualifications of players."

Just mentioned this in the Pickett trade thread.

First off, not sure the Sherman act applies here because the NFL has anti-trust exemption. Second, how can it be racial discrimination when a black man isn't drafted higher because other black men were? Third, the Consumer protection law has no basis here because no player was ever guaranteed to go in a specific order or to a specific team.

Lastly, this won't ever see a court because it will get tossed due to no standing by the fan or ability to show damage. I'm convinced the plaintiff here is a radio host or doing this all for a podcast.
