City Of Oakland Lawsuit vs NFL And Oakland Raiders Survives ZOOM Hearing; Dismiss Motion Not Dead
ONN – City Of Oakland Lawsuit vs NFL And Oakland Raiders Survives ZOOM Hearing; Dismiss Motion Not Dead
ZOOM was the software used to allow the public and media to view the “motion to dismiss” hearing online. According to Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero, the case’s presiding judge, 70 people watched him and a team of lawyers representing Oakland and the Raiders as they made their arguments.
The “motion to dismiss” the City of Oakland lawsuit against the Oakland Raiders for alleged anti-trust violations and lack of good faith actions associated with the process of relocating the NFL team from Oakland to Las Vegas failed to derail the lawsuit, but the motion is still alive.
Judge Joseph C. Spero asked Raiders and NFL lawyer Daniel B. Asimow of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP to provide a better definition of “diversity” with respect to the market for teams to enter and exit the National Football League. Bruce Simon, representing the City of Oakland and of Pearson Simon & Warshaw, LLP, thanked Judge Spero for allowing them to enter more information into their argument. But, the way it started out was such that one would come away with the idea that Spero just wanted to accept the motion to dismiss and get rid of the case, regardless of the argument. Indeed, James Quinn, also representing the City of Oakland, made such a statement; the remark seemed to set in motion a different direction toward today’s outcome.
In the vlog, I discuss the case hearing in more detail and lay out additional issues that will be expanded upon.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
