Most associations have "appeal rights," whereby the accused party has the right to due process by having the right to have a hearing held before an arbitrator. I think that exists with the NFL.
The Yorks are wussies, so they won't challenge anything. But maybe fans can file a suit, claiming to be a "third party beneficiary" of these rights. Our argument is that Goodell is disparaging the good name of the 49ers, and that adversely effects the status all of us fans have relative to fans of other teams. Get a few fans to file a lawsuit in San Francisco against the NFL, asking for declaratory relief whether fans have the right to demand a formal hearing on the issue before the NFL. Don't need to hire any lawyers; we have plenty of SF fan lawyers or law students who could help move the case forward.
The League could not ignore the suit. They would have to have their lawyers defend it. They would not like any more negative publicity right now.

People need to stop overreacting. Olkid hit it on the head. Pay the fine, Harbaugh had to see what he was working with in Alex.
cosigned.

Piece of sh*t Alex Smith needs to be gone already. He's gonna get Harbaugh canned by sucking balls like he always does every year.

I think that would be great and im sure that most fans would stand up.We could take this 1 step further by organizing a fan association the NFLFA. Any NFL fan could join and as a union we could lock out the NFL & NFLPA. If they are haveing problems sharin 9bil try sharin $0 Its time for us to stand up and be united as fans

After putting us fans through 6 years of wretched football and horrible QB play, everything is his fault. If Joe Nedney misses a FG, it's Alex Smiths fault he didn't score a TD. He just needs to go already.

As if 6 years isnt enough to evaluate him? I mean, are these silly short workouts really more telling to an evaluator than 6 years of NFL service time? Jesus.
