I remember. She had much more of a case than people suing for cancelled football would.

The McDonalds covfefe case - although infamous - is a little more nuanced than you realize.

Not necessarily. Think about it. The only way they can make it to the NFL is by playing football in college. Sure, it is not mandatory, but the number of people that have done it is zero, as far as I know. Some players could increase their stock exponentially by having a great year. Think about where Joe Burrow would have been drafted had he not played last year.

I am not saying they are right. I am saying they can make a case. In some cases it could conceivably cost some players $1,000,000.00 or more.

There are tons of frivolous lawsuits and lawsuits with very little merit brought all the time. The McDonalds
suit was merely a jumping off point....not meant to necessarily build an argument based only on it. Read some of the other cases in the link and I think you will see what I mean. Anybody who does not believe we live in a "Sue first, ask questions later!" world is wrong.


Here is another link to even more frivolous lawsuits:
