Shedeur Sanders’ Fan Is Suing the NFL for $100 Million

Shedeur Sanders‘ spectacular free fall in last month’s NFL draft has given one fan a hundred million reasons to be unhappy.

According to court documents seen by The Post, a Sanders fan named John Doe is suing the NFL for $100 million for the “emotional distress and trauma suffered as a result of the NFL’s collusive practices and the harmful statements made regarding” the former Colorado quarterback, who unexpectedly fell to the Browns at No. 144.

The plaintiff, who was characterized as a “dedicated fan of Colorado football and has closely followed Shedeur Sanders throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons,” filed the lawsuit last week.

Doe asserts: “these slanderous statements reflect biases that influenced the NFL’s decision-making process,” which in turn have caused “emotional distress and trauma to the Plaintiff as a fan and consumer.”

According to the suit, the NFL violates the Sherman Antitrust Act by allegedly: “collusion among NFL teams to influence the drafting process and the subsequent low selection of Shedeur Sanders constitutes a conspiracy to restrain trade and limit competition within the league.”

The lawsuit also alleges that the league broke the Civil Rights Act by asserting: “the decisions made regarding Sanders may have been influenced by racial discrimination, violating his rights as a player.”
