They are refusing a grown man the right to earn a living.

Nope. Try again. He's welcome to play elsewhere. He's welcome to work in a different industry.

No so fast their guys/girls. Many have brought up the $3.00 penalty the NFL had to pay. Looking at it slightly differently, the NFL lost and was found to be a monopoly. Don't you think that Clarrett's lawyers are going pound this down the NFL's throat?

Also, I'm not saying that the NFL is preventing him from going to Canada to play, what I am saying is that the NFL is prohibiting him from working in THE NFL!!!! The NFL was(as others have pointed out) proven to be a monopoly. This same monopoly is refusing a grown man(no child labor laws here) the right to work. We are not talking about a blind person applying for a pilot's job. We are talking about a BS age limit where there is precedent enough(MLB,NBA,NHL,etc...) to make it unlawful.
