Lawsuit Filed Against Bloomington Edge, Western Michigan Ironmen for Breach of Contract

1/10/2018

Champions Indoor Football (CIF) has filed a lawsuit against the Bloomington Edge and West Michigan Ironmen, two former league teams, for breach of contract, according to KMEG (Sioux City, IA).

Both Bloomington and West Michigan had signed contracts to play in the CIF in 2018 shortly after the 2017 season ended. However, later on, both teams left to join the Indoor Football League (IFL). Now, the CIF has requested that neither team can play in the IFL in 2018. A hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday in Woodbury County Court. 
​

Should the request be granted, there will only be six teams - the Arizona Rattlers, Sioux Falls Storm, Iowa Barnstormers, Nebraska Danger, Cedar Rapids Titans and Green Bay Blizzard - playing the league’s 10th season. The season is set to kick off in just over a month, so there is not much time left for the court to make a ruling.

How is this fair? Because the team wants to better the competition and league, they are going to be suspended? Why are there so many people in the world that wants to hold people back. These athletes are fighting hard every day to make it to the next level and you want to see them sit out a season???? This isn't right and I hope Bloomington Edge and the Ironmen get to fight it!

This has nothing to do with the players. The teams signed a contract and are being charged with violating that contract. It is great that you think of the players first, though. That is what makes indoor football better than the NFL. However, think of the players on the other teams. They are losing out on potentially 4 games because 2 teams are no longer in the league. They won't get paid for those games.

Really? You are asking why? It is because they gave their word they would play in the 2018 season in the CIF. They were added tot the schedule and some puss that lives under the bacteria of mold offers money to get them to leave? Well now it will cost them money and the season being suspended. Serves them right.

John you’re a dumbass if you believe that the CIF try doing that to the storm and the nighthawks after the CIF made all these promises to both teams and totally lied to them so the storm went back to the IFL and the nighthawks folded
