The autumn of Sheder Sanders of the first choice in total planned at the 144th of the NFL draft this year amazed countless NFL fans, but a fan was so shocked that he occupies a legal action.
An anonymous fan of the quarter-arre brought a legal action of $ 100 million against the NFL in the fall.
The applicant is a native of self-identified georgia and fan of the Sanders’ College team, the University of Colorado. The trial allegedly disclosed statements that Sanders “tipped interviews”, “was not prepared” and was “too arrogant”, damaging the player’s reputation and harming his possible draft.

The trial suggested that the situation raped the 1964 civil rights law.
“The decisions taken about Sanders may have been influenced by racial discrimination, violating his rights as a player,” said the trial.
The Sanders’s slide during the project caused animated racial debates on social networks, including an X interaction between the animator ESPN Stephen A. Smith and the founder of Barstool Dave Portnoy. Former American Democrat representative Jamaal Bowman suggested that Sanders has slipped because “America continues to fear strong black men”.

However, the first overall choice of this year was the former quarter of a quarter of Miami Cam Ward, which is, like Sanders, Black. In fact, the last three players to take n ° 1 in the draft of the NFL were black quarters.
However, following the slide, the applicant said that he had known “an intentional infliction of emotional distress and trauma”.
“The actions of the NFL and the dissemination of slanderous statements caused serious emotional distress and trauma to the applicant, resulting in frustration, disappointment and psychological damage as a fan,” said the trial. “The NFL may have engaged in unjust practices by distorting the nature of the writing process and the players’ qualifications.”
PK Press Club Digital contacted the NFL to comment.
Tuesday before the project, Nfl media released A summary of the first 18 prospects for this year’s class.
The section of Sanders included the comments of an anonymous assistant coach, who said that Sanders was “the worst formal interview in which I have ever been in my life. He is so right. He takes unnecessary bags. He never plays in time. He has a horrible body language. He blame the teammates. … But the most important thing is not so good.”
A long -standing anonymous setting added: “It did not go well in our interview. He wants to dictate what is going to do and what is best for him. He makes you feel little.”
