In most civil cases involving employment disputes Tony Romo Jersey , the employer eventually seeks summary judgment. The goal is both to avoid a trial by jury (since the jury may be influenced by factors other than a strict application of the law to the facts) and to force the employee to put his or her cards on the table, making it easier for the employer to prepare for trial.
In the case of Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL, there’s no jury to avoid. Arbitrator Stephen Burbank, who will decide the summary judgment effort, also will render the verdict Kendall Wright Jersey , if there’s a full-blown hearing. So the NFL’s obvious goal in seeking summary judgment will be to force Kaepernick and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, to provide a preview of their trial plans by showing how the alleged evidence of collusion meshes with the applicable law to prove that a violation occurred.
Thus, if someone is going to “dime out” the NFL, this would be a good time for it to happen. Likewise Josey Jewell Jersey , any other smoking gun that Kaepernick and Geragos have tucked into a holster will need to emerge now, if they hope to ensure that the case will go to trial.
Ultimately, it won’t take much to beat the NFL’s motion. The law requires the facts and all reasonable factual inferences to be viewed in the light most favorable to Kaepernick.
And that’s the only potential downside for the league in what is an otherwise nothing-to-lose proposition; as Burbank applies the appropriate standard, he may begin to see the case the way Kaepernick and Geragos see it, allowing Burbank to eventually conclude that John Kelly Jersey , indeed, an unspoken agreement existed to shun Kaepernick due to his decision to protest during the national anthem.
The NFL plans to contact the Buffalo Bills regarding team president Russ Brandon's abrupt resignation amid allegations he had an inappropriate relationship with a female employee.
The league released a statement Thursday saying it will discuss the matter with the Bills and "make a decision in the next few days about what, if any, further steps we will take."
Brandon was also president of the Terry and Kim Pegula-owned Buffalo Sabres.
NHL spokesman Gary Meagher tells The Associated Press the league has determined Brandon's resignation is "appropriately a club matter" after consulting with Sabres officials.
Brandon resigned Tuesday after spending 20 years working up the Bills' executive ranks, and spending the past three years overseeing the Sabres.
Two people with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Brandon's resignation came after he was confronted about the relationship by the Pegulas. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because it is an internal matter Michael Johnson Jersey , and the Pegulas did not provide a reason when announcing they accepted Brandon's resignation.
Brandon told the AP he had contemplated stepping down from the job for some time, and felt the timing was right following the conclusion of the NFL draft. He did not respond to follow-up questions regarding the alleged relationship.
