What a shock rich billionaires ignore judges ruling

[Johonny]

NFL owners act like they’re above the law

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-silver_nfl_owners_lockout_defiance_weight_room_federal_judge_042711

Nelson ruled that, in the wake of the NFL Players Association’s decision to decertify, the owners were not allowed to prevent their employees from coming to work while the Brady et al antitrust lawsuit plays out in her court...
On Tuesday morning, various NFL players across the country exercised their legal rights by showing up at their respective team facilities and reporting for offseason workouts. Most were allowed to enter but were denied access to the weight room and other areas. Many teams kept coaches and front-office employees away from the players – continuing a lockout-imposed edict from ownership...
One team, the Seattle Seahawks, reportedly had the gall to deny players access to the building entirely. In other words, the players were locked out.


While the NFL labor negotiation isn't the most important thing going on right now, NFL owners continue to give you a little public peek into the minds of America's billionaire privileged class. First was their wave of anti-union comments (including anti-government workers comments) and now is anyone shocked the billionaires decided to just ignore a judges ruling and continue the lockout?

1. They do not have the concept of law.

They have no concept of there being a 'law' or a rule.

It is what they can get away with.

And without enforcements, those laws have no effect on them, since they don't do for law, they only do if you will enforce that law.

Most people do what they feel is right, and that matches many laws, so they use laws as there guideline of what to do.

There is a group that gives no value to law at all, and only if you can make them do something will they do it.

Enforcement is half of law.

Without enforcement, there is no law.

4. Perhaps they thought they had brought this judge?

Hey, how come the judge ruled against us?
Dunno, maybe we hadn't bought him off yet?
Well, to hell with that! Let's do what we want and we'll buy him later...

5. Why should they obey the law? If you want someone to obey you, you need to either entice them or

coerce them.
