That's quite a bit different than the league fixing games. A butthurt fan suing the league based on allegations of one team cheating vs. an entire league fixing games to a determined outcome.

The crux of it was that the games were not legitimate sporting contests because the Patriots cheated.


The NFL's lawyers laughed and said "NONE of the games are legitimate, no one ever said they were. It's entertainment...and are you not entertained!?"

And the Supreme Court said "sounds about right to us."

The Supreme Court refused to hear the case. The NFL's lawyers didn't say anything about the case because the fan didn't sue the NFL. He sued the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick. The statement that "NONE of the games are legitimate, and no one ever said they were" wasn't used.

Sir, it went all the way to the Supreme Court, was heard. And the NFL's lawyers did say "fans would still watch even if they knew it was predetermined."

And the NFL agreed.
Look it up.
