If you are a fan of the NFL lockout, the news just got better. For everyone else, the news is not good.
According to The Red Zone.org:
The 8th circuit Court of Appeals has granted the NFL’s motion for a stay on the appeal which means until at least the first week of June and possibly much longer according to the Associated Press.
The 2-1 decision similar to the decision last month from the same judges, including a lengthy dissent from the same judge.
The appellate court said it believed the NFL has proven it “likely will suffer some degree of irreparable harm without a stay.” It also cast doubt on the conclusions of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who ruled April 25 that the lockout should be lifted — only to have the 8th Circuit panel put her decision on hold four days later.
“In sum, we have serious doubts that the district court had jurisdiction to enjoin the league’s lockout, and accordingly conclude that the league has made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits,” the majority wrote.
Football fans are past tired of this lockout and are discussing in the NFL forum on JetNation.
