Williams and Clarret may be out of Draft
The NFL has done it again. Regardless of which side of this argument you side with, the NFL again has used it's vast political power and influence to get an expedited appeal hearing. Even the NFL lawyer presenting the appeal was quoted as saying, ".. it's quite unusual for a court to impose such a quick schedule." Hhhmmmm?
Also, what a coincidence that the appeal will be heard on April 19th and 20th. Just days before the April 24th Draft. If the NFL wins this round of appeals it is by no means over, but it will block Williams and Clarret from participating in this years draft. Because there would be no time to get the appeal heard in the US Supreme court. The NFL must be in the pockets of these appeals court judges, because they are very confidant they will win this particular appeal. To put this into perspective, it take six months to a year to have an appeal heard about important case matters like murders, rapes, child moleters, etc. But the NFL can get an expedited hearing about letting 19 and 20 year olds play football in a month. Our justice system is for sale. I hope for the Redskins this appeal is not successful. We need USC WR Williams there so more talent drops to our pick. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ett/index.html Last edited by Defensewins; 03-31-2004 at 02:21 PM. |
