She's so dumb, watching the interview right now.
Also ufc employees are considered “private contractors” , Which is kinda bs since they have non-compete clauses , but she doesn’t have A lot going for her on this one
su·eti hope it does.
at least the suet will.
Wow, so many legal experts here on Sherdog, I'm impressed. All this free advice too, shouldn't you guys be billing Miss Smith for the opinions?
It is a good idea for fighters. Hard to say if it is a good idea for fans. Fighters and fans don't have interests that completely align.Whatever you may think of Leslie Smith and her lawsuit you can't deny that Project Spearhead is a good idea and something we should all support as MMA fans.
This lawsuit has failed already. She should just focus on getting signed with invicta or some other promotion, then unionizing.
Legal precedent is a bitch isn't it?This.
She shouldn't be fighting whether or not her release was legal (which it was, as of present), she should be fighting the status of UFC considering athletes as contractors when they've enforced exclusivity on them. That's a big enough fight on its own, but one that they could rally public support for.
And considering WWE had this fight (and used all their resources to squash the Levy / Sanders / Klucsarits lawsuit), it's a grim outlook on that effort considering the current state of US politics.
IC's cannot unionize.A union is a great thing for fighters.
I hope some day they get it.
