This shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody given the manner in which it all unfolded, but the former Alliance of American Football, short-lived professional football league that barely lasted a calendar year from its announcement to its dissolution, is already facing two lawsuits with likely more to follow in the future.
One lawsuit has been filed as a class action on behalf of the players, with two specific plaintiffs named with rights reserved for additional players to be added later. A number of players have reportedly already expressed interest in doing so.
The other lawsuit was filed by James Roberson, who was the director of community relations for the Birmingham Iron.
