I see that a member of the Rams, the team that lost to the Patriots in some Superbowl a few years ago, is suing the Patriots organization and Bill Bellicheck for taping the Rams practices.
This is just ridiculous. But of course... there's big money in it - not only for the lawyers who will get most of the pie, but also for the players who lost the Superbowl, as the winners get big bonuses while the losers get smaller bonuses.
Next we'll see teams sue referees for making mistakes with foul calls (anyone want to bet Rutgers would love to sue the timekeeper or ref or whoever it was that froze that Tennessee clock at .2 seconds a couple of days ago?)
This type of litigation has no place in sports. Sure, if some psycho athlete blindsides a player and pounds his head into the ground - which is what happened in a hockey game a few years ago and ended up breaking the guy's neck - that's assault and the guy deserves to go to jail.
But suing because of cheating? When "everyone" does it?
Nooooo. Keep lawyers out of sports!
