Attorney Brings Lawsuit Against The NFL
An attorney is suing the NFL for a missed call during the Saints game against the Rams. The lawsuit claims that if the referees called the penalty, then the Saints wouldn’t have lost the game. The Saints lost the NFC championship game 26-35. New Orelans attorney Frank D’Amico Jr. filed the lawsuit after Saints fans approached him following the game.
D’Amico claimed that the NFL commissioner has the power to turn back the timeclock to the point where they missed the call and replay the last minutes of the game. The missed call was a pass interference as well as a helmet to helmet hit near the goal line.
