NFL lost a very important battle in their lawsuit against St. Louis, on moving the Rams out of the city.

Judge ruled St. Louis should have financial records of Gooddell and a couple NFL owners to search for wrongdoing.

According to Mike Florio (a lawyer), claimed this was because a judge thought there was clear evidence "those individuals operated in a fraudulent manner.".

And as Florio points out, people, especially powerful/rich people hate when they lose control and people go looking through their financial records. And in a different article, suggested rumors this could cause the NFL to try to settle this case instead of handing over the financial records.

The massive lawsuit filed by St. Louis against the NFL over the relocation of the Rams will (barring a settlement) culminate with a full-blown trial, which is due to begin just as the Rams prepare to host a Super Bowl in their new stadium. Along the way, the two sides will engage in many battles. Today, St. Louis scored a major victory in one of them.

Via Randy Karraker of 101 ESPN, a judge has ruled that the plaintiffs in the litigation shall have access to information regarding the financial worth of Commissioner Roger Goodell and five NFL owners: Rams owner Stan Kroenke, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Giants owner John Mara, and former Panthers owner Jerry Richardson.
The outcome has significance in large part because really rich people never want to be forced to disclose details about what they have. For a judge to tell six of the wealthiest men in America that they must turn over that information represents the kind of slap in the face that folks holding that kind of power and money rarely if ever experience.

The reason for the conclusion has significance as well. The judge, who made the ruling from the bench (which means the evidence pointing to it was clear), concluded that clear and convincing proof exists to support a finding that those individuals operated in a fraudulent manner. As to the rest of the owners, St. Louis has 10 days to present evidence supporting that they should be forced to surrender their financial information as well.

The “rich” guys will probably pool their resources and pay the judge off.
If that doesn’t work, they can always find another way to shut him up!😉

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
