PFT: Fan sues over lockout

a PSL holder in Cleveland has opted to sue the Browns and the other 31 teams for threatening to renege on his right to watch pro football from his rented seat space.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ken Lanci has asked the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court to prohibit the lockout that was launched nearly two weeks ago.

“What tipped the scale for me is the labor issue between millionaires and billionaires and the fact they can’t settle it when the country is in a recession,” Lanci said. “Worse yet, they have to rub this in our faces.”

Preach it, Ken.

“The owners and players can’t decide what to do with an extra billion dollars between them,” Lanci said. “I have the perfect solution. That one billion should go to all cities that gave them money to build football stadiums they couldn’t afford to build. This would give these cities badly needed tax relief.”

Now you’re talking, Ken.

And even though the players haven’t been sued, Lanci had some choice words for their position in this mess.

“The players union says NFL owners are offering what will be the worst deal ever,” Lanci said. “Really? How about being unemployed? Right now they get 59 percent of the take, and that’s beyond comprehension.” (Actually, it’s only roughly 50 percent, but it still works out to a lot of money.)

So where is this heading?

“At the end of the day, [Cuyahoga County Common Pleas] Judge John P. O’Donnell has to judge if this suit has merit or not,” Lanci said, “but I’m sure the court of public opinion will certainly weigh in on this.”

Hopefully, it will. Only external pressure will break this impasse. Though most assume it eventually will come from Congress, a fan revolt could get it done, too.

And if this lawsuit sparks that movement, Ken Lanci should get a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Doubt this goes anywhere, but it'll probably win this guy a lot of fans.

It wont go anywhere. Now if like 10000 fans did that then they might have a chance

See, I was thinking about something like that. What if all the fans around the league not PSL owners and maybe some that are, didn't show up for the first game of the season. Yeah, the owners still get paid, but at least they would see where the money really comes from. Half empty stadiums on opening day would send a loud message I think. Then to lose the concession monies the players are fighting over...:lol: won't happen, but it would be nice, since that is really the only way the owners and the players hear the fans...is through their dollars.

And don't watch on TV....lowest ratings evah! lol

Saw this earlier today.

I asked two of our general counsels in our office if it had merit.

Both are season ticket owners....and both that it woudl go nowhere.

I will find out their legal support and report back later.

If PSL owners do not have football to watch on the very first game day, then they will all have a lawsuit. I don't know what damages over the cost of the seat they will receive, but I'm going to assume they will get more than the seat cost.

If the lockout damages the value of the PSL seat, then I'm betting they would be entitled to that cost too.

I don't even think it would then.

It's a purely symbolic gesture from a guy who's got the money to do something a lot of us would probably like to do.

Call it a legal middle finger if you want, because that's all it really is.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
