Well, it's hard to say "clearly" at this point. There is likely a dispute over the facts of this case (as differentiated over a dispute in the law), and that's what the trial will resolve -- which version of "facts" carry the day. IF what the filer of the lawsuit is saying is true, it's a big mess for USSF, but it's one thing to claim X, Y, and Z outside of court and to have the same claims validated inside the courtroom. So we'll have to wait and see, is the best I can say.
I am getting a LAWYER TOO I will sue USSF for violation of my civil rights too, because here Houston Tx we have the right of watch at least once a year our US NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM, AND WE BEEN IGNORE, by the way Houston TEXAS IS A BETTER VENUE THAN "BOLLITIERY TENNIS ACADEMY, FLA" AND ITS 37 LANDSCAPE WORKERS, AT LEAST WE WILL PAY THE TICKETS .
Embarrasing as it is to admit it: you're right. I just went through a legal process where I discovered --to my total chagrin-- that some LAWYERS are 'highway robbers'. At least the one who was my 'counsel'... He kept the retainer and left to Europe on vacation.
He has every right to sue. He was discriminated against because of his last name. He wasn't asked who he was supporting. I'm as much in favor of the home field advantage as the next guy, but this is wrong. Play in Columbus.
My comments were based on how the facts of the case have been presented by the media. If they are in fact different than reported, then all bets are off.
But the problem is... . . . He was an American. He wanted to sit at the "U.S. section" at the lower deck cheering for the U.S. team. He's sueing because he says that the USSF thought he would support the Honduran NT just because of his hispanic last name.
