Goodell contempt of court hearing set for August 13

On August 11, NFL owners will discuss whether pro football will be in Los Angeles. Two days later, Commissioner Roger Goodell will find out whether he’s in contempt of court.

Via Chris Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the NFL Players Association’s motion to hold the league and/or its Commissioner in contempt of court for failing to comply with Judge David Doty’s order in the Adrian Peterson case will be presented to the court in an August 13 hearing.

The mere fact that the motion has been placed on the docket for a hearing doesn’t mean that Judge Doty will find that the league and/or Goodell are in contempt of court.
