Texas judge grants Elliott preliminary injunction - Clarence Hill, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Federal judge Amos Mazzant issued a harsh rebuke to the NFL and its process.
In making his ruling, Mazzant stated “that the question of what happened between Elliott and Thompson in July 2016 is not before the Court.”
“The question before the Court is merely whether Elliott received a fundamentally fair hearing before the arbitrator,” Mazzant wrote. “The answer is he did not. The Court finds, based upon the injunction standard, that Elliott was denied a fundamentally fair hearing by Henderson’s refusal to allow Thompson and Goodell to testify at the arbitration hearing.
