You sound like a pathetic person. I’m gonna guess you were that way well before earning your law degree.

This is no more of a “protest” than flipping off a teacher behind his/her back to get a reaction from the class. Sure, you could arugue that the bird-flipper is protesting bad teaching. But in reality he’s not; he is looking for a low-effort way to get attention.

“When they aren’t on camera anymore, they will (or at least should) find another way to protest.”

Until he retires or 8 months from now, whichever comes first.

Mostly bullshit? Do you read box scores much?

He’ll be fighting for a 3rd string QB job next season. Do people really not get how bad at football he is?

No team is going to offer him any kind of contract once he’s out in SF.

It’s all about the deal the NFLPA made with the owners. No one person or govt. dictated what the deal should look like.

Nope. Most unproven players don’t get jack shit in guaranteed money in the NFL. Contrast with the MLB, where almost every dollar is guaranteed.

A police officer dying has nothing to do with Trump — although clearly you cannot make a comment that doesn’t try to turn everything into petty politics. Someone died. It could very well have to do with an ongoing criminal investigation. DAs and detectives get attacked quite often by people associated with those being…

@JaMarcus Nicely done. That’s the best summary of this situation by far.

“And here I was thinking these athletes have played a pretty significant role in reigniting an important national discussion”

Great story.

And in this case, a law was broken -- which by definition, makes the suit non-frivolous. Why don’t you look up that law and write it on the board for the rest of the class?

A self-aggrandizer self-aggrandizing. Yippee!

It’s Burneko. This is a well-above-average post when you consider that fact.

No. Because people generally sue with the intention of winning. The economics don’t work otherwise. Thiel et al. did not break the law; Gawker did. Suing people who did not break the law is generally a money-losing enterprise.

And if someone in the state of FL secretly taped Cohen and Gawker published it, they would be liable for damages. Look up the actual law that was applied in this case.

“probably” has never won a court case -- and for good reason.
