Doty has been an advocate judge and has been making rulings based on his own personal conviction in the dispute rather than any solid interpretation of contract law.

That being said… I’m still somewhat grateful that he actually made the ruling. From a legal standpoint, I’d probably disagree with him, but this could bring us one step closer to getting a CBA done. The owners have lost a bit of their leverage and incentive to lockout with this.

for incompetence, one giant leap for football fans.
