Legally Speaking on WFMJ Today: Fans suing NFL over blown calls
/in David Betras, Legal advice, Legally Speaking on WFMJ, NFL Football, WFMJ/by JSMT MediaIn this episode of Legally Speaking on WFMJ Today, Managing Partner David Betras discusses the lawsuits filed against the NFL by fans distressed over the blown pass interference call that marred the 2018 NFC Championship game between the L.A. Rams and the New Orleans Saints.
You may view the segment on our YouTube channel or on the Betras, Kopp & Harshman Facebook page.
Federal suits have been dismissed, but a state court judge in Louisiana has allowed a suit filed in that state to move forward. David outlines whether or not the plaintiffs have a valid case.
One outgrowth of the bad call: pass interference can now be reviewed. According to a new rule implemented by NFL owners, offensive and defensive pass interference, including non-calls, will now subject to review. Coaches can challenge those calls in the first 28 minutes of each half.
