AK’s Tweet

Former RB Arian Foster said the league is scripted. AK either agreed or is making fun of Foster.

This is a running gag from Arian Foster’s podcast on Barstool.

Makes much more sense. I know Foster is known to have many conspiracy theories so I didn’t find it too hard to believe he meant that.

Good. I want them to trade him. He has no value anymore. Past athletic peak in an area where RBs start to see significant decline. Trade him while he has value. Bye Felicia. You can take Thomas and Lattimore with you too assuming we can trade Lattimore.

The twitter thread following the video is pretty hilarious. The Eddie Lacy one, the Aaron Hernandez one, and the Falcons on just as examples. Just keep scorlling

Foster, AK, and the NFL bots on this board are gaslighting all fans with subterfuge to hide the real fact that the NFL is in court stated entertainment.

Being entertainment, games are kept interesting and typically competitive by instructions given to game refs through "points of emphasis" originating from Rich McKay the Chairman of the Competition Committee and President and CEO of the Falcons.

What the hell is going on here. You want the team to trade a player with no value, but also has value? Why would a team trade for a player with no value on a big contract?

Also, his contract damn near makes him untradeable.

I clearly haven’t followed whatever platform this running joke has been running on. Your dickhead response is … something.

I asked a damn question because I wasn’t sure of something. But hey man, you do you. Get those oh so desired upvotes by being an a-hole.

First, tell me what that means. I have seen that mentioned here before as though it were some aha moment. I mean, why would anyone pay to attend a sporting event if it was not considered entertaining? Of course it is entertainment.

Second, cite the case so we can look it up for context. Or at least an article about that of which you speak.

U.S. Court Tosses Jets Fan's "Spygate" Lawsuit

CBS News MAY 19, 2010 / 4:22 PM / AP

CBS News
quote:

NFL fans miffed by the New England Patriots' secret videotaping of their opponents' signals can boycott games or team merchandise, but they can't seek legal damages for "Spygate," a U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The appeals panel upheld a district judge's ruling that dismissed the suit by lawyer Carl Mayer, a New York Jets season ticket holder from Princeton, N.J.



quote:

Mayer had argued that fans spent large sums to see games that were essentially rigged, and he sought $185 million in damages for Jets fans alone. The 3rd Circuit Court didn't buy it.

quote:

"We do not condone the conduct on the part of the Patriots and the team's head coach, and we likewise refrain from assessing whether the NFL's sanctions (and its alleged destruction of the videotapes themselves) were otherwise appropriate," Senior Judge Robert E. Cowen wrote for the three-judge panel.

quote:

However, he said Mayer failed to prove any legal right to damages.

"At best, he possessed nothing more than a contractual right to a seat from which to watch an NFL game between the Jets and the Patriots, and this right was clearly honored," Cowen wrote.



quote:

Mayer and his lawyer, Bruce Afran, both worked for consumer advocate Ralph Nader earlier in their careers and consider "Spygate" a consumer-fraud case.

"It's a clear issue of consumer fraud. The mere fact that this is in the context of football doesn't mean that the people who pay to see the game have no rights," Afran said Wednesday.

Many NFL ticket holders struggle to pay the high ticket price and deserve an honest game in return, he said.



quote:

"(The opinion) seems to suggest that no matter how much ticket holders pay, they can be defrauded by NFL teams. And it puts the NFL on the same level as professional wrestling," Afran said.

Mayer plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, buoyed in part by what he called consumer-friendly rulings involving sports teams in other circuit courts. For instance, a circuit court ruled that Ohio's consumer-protection laws apply to statements the Cleveland Browns made about whether they were staying in town, he said.



quote:

"We think the matter might be of interest to the Supreme Court," Mayer told The Associated Press. "We never surrender."

The suit alleged that the Patriots taped the Jets' signals in their twice-yearly contests for seven years, and sought treble damages for Jets fans based on a rough average of $100 a ticket.



quote:

Lawyer Shepard Goldfein, representing the NFL, had argued that fans likely would buy tickets even if they knew the Patriots were stealing signals. He referred calls for comment on Wednesday's ruling to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, who declined to comment except to say the ruling speaks for itself. Lawyer Daniel L. Goldberg, representing Belichick and the Patriots, did not immediately return a message.
