I can’t believe O’Connor and Kennedy retired and we were deprived of a 14-prong balancing test that federal judges could apply to every single baby to figure out if they were citizens or not.
@ChazWood33@SouthSideGrizz1 The hearing was held there, but the local judge recused himself and they brought an unbiased judge from Tarrant County to hear the case there.
Re: Sorsby, the NCAA is reaping what it’s sown. In ‘14/‘15, Northwestern players tried to unionize and the NCAA objected, stating that unionization would “create significant instability in college sports.” The case was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, but the key issue of whether players are employees has remained. Now Sorsby is challenging NCAA rules as being arbitrarily harsh for what his team is calling a “mental health condition.”
The NCAA disagrees. Heck, I disagree with that framing. But it is indisputable that the NCAA has drug its feet at every turn when it comes to any sort of collectively bargained solution.
Remember when Tom Brady got suspended for deflategate? The US Court of Appeals said that the NFL commissioner had broad authority as part of the collective bargaining agreement. Basically, they said Goodell’s ruling might be unfair but it didn’t matter because he followed the collectively bargained rules.
It’s bad that Sorsby can gamble on his own team and play. But I actually think the judge in this case is right. Were Sorsby to win his case, the damage to his career would be irreparable when he finally got reinstated. That is the point of an injunction. The only question to me is whether the NCAA could make up that harm with monetary damages.
But now the powers that be in the NCAA will wring their hands at “instability” with the full irony that those hands are full of money they’ve made because they’ve delayed at every turn operating like all other legal entities.
@NateThomas1990@ruallsion Bad analogy. Louis Vuitton has a specific target customer base.The good news of Jesus dying for your sins is not targeted to only the holiest or most worthy. Why would you not want as many sinners in the church as possible, especially on Easter?
Regarding Semien, the optics are bad for sure but I think it’s worth noting in the previous 4 seasons he has only missed 4 games total. He’s very reasonably bummed to be missing games (especially fun ones like last night)
