The NFL Players Association has announced that it has appealed the recent decision of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to continue the suspension of Titans cornerback Pacman Jones through the remainder of the 2007 season. The move is announced on the front page of the NFLPA web site. Here's the text of the statement:
"The NFLPA, on behalf of Adam Jones, appealed Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision not to reduce Adam Jones’ full season suspension. In a letter dated November 8, 2007, appealing the matter, the NFLPA has asked for a hearing as soon as possible.
"In April 2007, the Commissioner suspended Jones for the entire 2007 season, but indicated that he would review Jones’ case following the 10th week of the season. On November 2, 2007, the Commissioner met with Jones, his representatives, and the NFLPA to consider a reduction in the discipline. Goodell then wrote Jones on November 6, 2007, expressing his decision not to shorten the one-year suspension.
"A hearing will be held in New York within the next several weeks."
