The End Result....The Kaeperknick case vs the nfl

[Mobdeeper7239]

I was involved in a two million dollar lawsuit almost 30 years ago. My firm and I were the defendants, a large NYC law firm was representing a bank that was defrauded by one of our clients.

There was a lot of activity circling around us, files were exchanged, nasty threats were made. At the end of the day, the bank had no case against us, none. They made a loan based on their own internal audit team and their numbers were not even close to the numbers on our audited financial statements from just 8 months earlier, so there was no reliance on us which destroyed their case.

Our malpractice insurance company still offered $ 100,000 to settle the case, because they said it would cost at least $ 50,000 to depose everyone. The bank accepted, so we settled for $ 100,000 when we thought we would win for sure

That's how the legal process works, that's how and why settlements are reached

I hear you. You were involved in a two million dollar lawsuit. And settled for 100,000.


Kaeperknick was involved in how much of a lawsuit? I think it was a lot more than 60-80 Million. He did this right. With all the lawyer fees and other people in the suit, he isn’t going to walk away with 60-80 Million. But it wasn’t a lawsuit for 2 million. It was a lawsuit for a lot more. They hindered his career bro. Potentially he could have made millions playing if they didn’t do what they did. One team finally came to their senses and picked up Eric Reid and he played like he didn’t miss a beat. Looked like a pro bowler. So there was clear factual evidence. They had a case. All you have to do is run down a list of QBs who got starting qb jobs over the past two years. But like I said I am sure they had much much more evidence.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

We won’t know the details. But I say they had way more evidence because that number wouldn’t be an estimation if they didn’t. They always keep the information undisclosed when it’s a settlement. I assume it to be 60-80 Million dollar settlement probably due to the reason that Kaeperknick may have had evidence of legit prejudice behavior. We don’t know. But if it is a 60-80 million dollar settlement. They settled there because they did not want to drag this out in court with the information Kaeperknicks legal team probably had on these owners. Was going to get very ugly for the nfl and it’s owners.....again.

As big as the NFL is and the kind of money they bring in, they seem archaic and not proactive in their way of thinking. Even when they are colluding or doing something outside the lines they are not very good at it. There are all kinds of emails and apparently videos that were obtained ..etc... which equals the NFL looked bad and had no defense and releasing that information on a Friday afternoon appeared to be the best time to do it.

Let them know bro. Don’t worry I will be back later to point out the morons from past threads.

Mob,

I am NOT a CK hater, at all, BUT do you feel like he sold out on his cause? The league basically admitted guilt and are flat out paying him hush money to just go away. Yes hes getting a boat load of money, but like said above, it not a lot to the league. And now, Im assuming, he will just "go away".

Fuck KaeperDICK. I can't stand his "I'm a victim" ass.

Poor little Dickhead...everybody out to get him. Fucken Loser!!!

Lmaooooo. I most certainly will find you when I look later.

So much for principles.

Well Mob, hopefully this will be the end of it. Whether or not the amount is right is irrelevant to me. If Kim Kardashian can make the type of money she has on basically doing nothing but making a soft porn movie on the internet, I wouldn't put it past Kap making this coin.

Frankly, I was mostly sick of the children on this forum and others that desperately tried to keep Kap in the limelight with all their stupid posts about how they weren't going to watch football anymore, how Nike was going to go bankrupt, etc. I've never seen so many immature clowns that couldn't just use a remote and turn their TVs off for a couple of minutes or use a "mute" button. As I said before, these are the same type of guys that let their blood pressure boil over when someone gives them the finger driving 70 mph past them. I don't worry about shit like this. I've seen people burn a flag before, I shake my head, and move on. All Kap did was troll people and apparently many of them don't know how you handle a troll (hint: you ignore them).

Does Kap deserve it? In my mind, no. He was washed up, had been figured out by every defensive coordinator in the league, and would have never got the payday he was looking for with his new contract. He played the NFL like a violin and won. That's the way things go. I'm sure he's not losing any sleep by a bunch of guys whining about it on a sports forum while he has more money than he could spend in a lifetime.

I disagree with you on two fronts here.

First and foremost, I don't believe the settlement was for anything near that amount, I'm not sure anyone is reporting those numbers, they're simply not substantiated.

And the point of my litigation post was to point out that nuisance settlements are a thing, they're real.

The NFL wants this to end, nobody wants the negative publicity either on the field or in the courts. So they settled, this stuff happens all the time, but there's no way in hell the number is 60 to 80 million.

 

[PoundFoolish]

60 to 80 million, stop,just stop.

Kaep and Reed had an amazing opportunity to take this case against the NFL to court and to let the world know on the record how the league conspired against them. The league gift wrapped an opportunity for them to continue their crusade against perceived injustices against people of color in open court.

But instead, in the end, it was all about the money as now they have signed a non-disclosure agreement related to the settlement. We can see clearly now this was all about the cash which it always is.

Now, let’s see what Kaep does with all this money. Is he going to actually do something productive to further his cause? We’ll see.

Awesome observation

How does any settlement out of court advance their crusade against "social injustice, systematic racism AND oppression"?

Rhetorical question boys, everybody knows or should know the answer

 

[StevieRay]

He could have been the MLK of this decade? Took his cause of the way black people are treated starting with the NFL ? Could have made change? Who knows ?

But he settled it sounds like. So it makes him look like it never was the for the reasons he says

Maybe he does step out with a continued voice for what “he believes in”

Not sure I follow your question, Willie. If the chance of him winning his case was questionable, and he settled for a sure thing and then used the money toward his cause (which we both are thinking he probably won't), then I don't see why a settlement out of court matters.

A public case where he wins and exposures all that social injustice in this country would clearly help that cause more than him taking some money, read caving to his oppressive masters, and running

His cause was bullshit, he was worried about losing that life of opulent luxury this country gave him

just between you and me and the fence-post he's a cock-lick m-phucker piece of shit scum of the earth abortion that survived

That would only be the case if he thought beyond a doubt he had this thing won. If there was any doubt (which there clearly was) and he really cared so much about his cause (both you and I know he doesn't), it would make more sense to me if the NFL is offering him a decent enough settlement, that he wouldn't gamble on the court case and just take the money for his cause. Now he could prove us both wrong and take every dime he gets from the case and donate it to a cause or create some special foundation. Then again, tomorrow we could wake up and the NFL could say they are going to reply the Saints game.
