Wrong. For one thing, it's hardly a precedent, even within the scope of this very subject. The league awarded the player's coalition around 90 million without even being sued. For another, it doesn't take a great deal of mental gymnastics to reflect on a fairly straightforward outcome when the media and pretty much everyone else declared that a tremendous amount of legal gymnastics would be required to have a chance to win the collusion case. And to be clear, the case was not won, it was settled. The league was the defendant here, not the plaintiff. Outside of the case being dropped or dismissed, their best possible outcome was legal fees and having some of their owners dragged through the mud, so they just decided to put a tourniquet on the whole thing to make it go away. And it's over.Nope. You're using some serious mental gymnastics to make this appear like anything more than what it actually is, the NFL breaking precedence and settling with a player. This speaks volumes. The NFL simply doesn't do business like that. They know how this would appear to legal analysts and still decided it was best to settle.
