One of the top officials of the National Football legal spoke out against the mass of legal activity targeting the spectator seating controversy of Super Bowl XLV.
Earlier this week, a lawsuit seeking $5 million in damages was filed on behalf of some of the 1,250 fans who were removed from their seats at the big game. The claims came about due to breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices .
Executive VP of the NFL's business operations berated the top lawyers involved in the cases to reduce the legal battle on the league.
"I wish they'd go off and work on something like world peace because I think we have to keep this in perspective," the VP told ProFootballTalk Live.
"We didn't provide a great experience to 100% of the fans. But keeping a little perspective is probably what I wish the lawyers would do."
He also said the NFL - which has extended an offer of "compensation packages" to many of ticket-holders who were effected by the incident -- wants "a second chance" with spectators.
After just one day the Super Bowl was played, the website SuperBowlSuit.com launched stories from affected ticket-holders interested in joining a potential suit.
