Isn't this what they're paid to do? How can you declare one case is any less important than another? That's for them to decide. It's all about the money and those that can afford to take their case that high.
IMO, sports issues like this one shouldnt be a matter for the courts. Sports are GAMES and people should play by the rules. If the NFL says hes gotta wait 3 years, suck it up and wait!
