A New Orleans Saint's season ticket holder has filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell.

St. Tammany Parish resident and pissed off Saints fan, David Mancina, is seeking damages of more than $5 million on behalf of himself and other Saints' season ticket holders.  The lawsuit is of course, a response to the NFL's handling of the Saint's bounty investigation.

The lawsuit says that ticket holders purchased their tickets expecting "the Saints would be capable of competitively fielding a contending team comprised of the finest athletes, and the best coaches, under contract ... or available to them through normal trades and draft choices, without dictatorial, unreasonable, vindictive, and unfounded, interference from the Commissioner and the League, devoid of due process."

Mancina's lawyer, Larry Wiedemann, himself a fan of the Black and Gold but not currently a season-ticket holder, says he hopes the suit will bring more consideration to NFL fans in the future.

This sounds like a long-shot to me, but I'm so happy the Who-Dat Nation is not just bending over and taking what the NFL is trying to give them.  With any luck, the NFL's bounty investigation will be exposed and the NFL offices will have to make right the things Saints fans feel they done wrong.
