NFLPA calls for fixes to ‘broken system’ after Tom Brady’s latest appeal denied
The union says the NFL's method of player discipline is "bad for our business and bad for our game."
The NFL Players Association released a statement following the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to deny Tom Brady’s latest appeal in the Deflategate saga on Wednesday.
Read that statement below.
The NFL Players Association is a labor Union that protects the rights of all of its members and pursues any violations of those rights by any means necessary. We are disappointed with the decision denying a rehearing, as there were clear violations of our collective bargaining agreement by the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Despite today’s result, the track record of this League office when it comes to matters of player discipline is bad for our business and bad for our game. We have a broken system that must be fixed.
We will review all of our options carefully on behalf of Tom Brady and all NFL players.
