What type of things would you look for in the backgrounds of jurors in a case like that? NFL fan status? Political bent?

And I can't imagine a judge in the country that would have a problem with you striking a juror for cause when he claims to be a fan of the billion dollar defendant...
You can strike as many for jurors for cause as they have eligible jurors. And if you run out, we'll just bring in more. Either risk having the entire trial overturned for lying during voir dire, or every person in this thread will end up getting tossed off the jury.

Would this be a federal case?

A class action against the NFL would be. Even if it was initially brought in a state court, I think the NFL would want to move it to the federal courts, which has more benefits for corporate defendants. Higher burdens for allegations (the Iqbal standard, iirc).

You anticipated the reasoning behind my question. What, do you study this stuff or something?

Go ahead and lie under voir dire; we'll make sure that whatever verdict you're a part of gets tossed out and by God we'll try again.
