Tom Brady and the NFL Players Association received unfortunate news on Thursday when a Minnesota judge rejected their case and sent it to New York, but that does not mean the war is lost for the New England Patriots quarterback.
As the details of the NFLPA’s lawsuit against the league filter out, it has become clear that Brady’s representatives will spend less time trying to prove his innocence and more time obliterating the process. One major sticking point will be the lack of precedent, as no player has ever been punished this severely for violating a game rule or failing to fully cooperate with an investigation.
