RENO, Nev. Frank Thomas Jersey . - John E. Williams III has been a San Francisco 49ers fan since John Brodie was throwing touchdown passes at Candlestick Park in the 1970s. So he was excited about the prospects of scoring a ticket to make the trip to Seattle in January to watch the rivals battle in the NFC Championship Game. But the Las Vegas man says in a $50 million lawsuit against the NFL that his hopes were dashed by the league and others he accuses of engaging in "economic discrimination" with an illegal ticket policy limiting credit-card sales to selected pro-Seattle markets. His lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas says it was part of an effort to keep 49er fans away and further promote the Seahawks boisterous home-field advantage at CenturyLink Field. "Theyre always boasting up there about their 12th player and everything else," Williams told The Associated Press on Friday. "But by allowing the NFL to decide who can or cannot attend the games, you make it an unfair game. Seattle fixed it." Williams, who works as a promoter in the entertainment industry, said that because the NFL relies heavily on public subsidies and money from taxpayers to build stadiums. it should not be allowed to deny ticket sales to individuals on the basis they are "not from an area determined by the team — or the NFL — to be fan of that team." "The practice of withholding the sale of tickets from the public at large and allowing only credit card holders limited to certain areas is a violation of the Federal Consumer Fraud Act and/or common law," according to the lawsuit filed April 15. In the case of Januarys game, the Seahawks limited ticket sales only to credit cards with addresses in the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii, as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. As a result, he said, he suffered "economic discrimination and violation of public accommodation solely" because his credit card was not issued in the restrictive states or Canada — "which is not even part of the United States." "This selected process is contrary to the spirit of the NFL and contrary to public accommodation," said Williams, who is seeking $10 million in punitive damages on top of $40 million in real damages. Brian McCarthy, the NFLs vice-president of communications, said the league has no comment on the lawsuit. Officials for California-based Ticketmaster, which is now part of Live Nation Entertainment Inc., and the Seattle Seahawks did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Williams said he had made up his mind that if San Francisco beat the Carolina Panthers in a semifinal game, he was going to buy tickets to the NFC title game in Seattle for himself, his roommate, a girlfriend who lives in Canada and her daughter. San Francisco beat Carolina 23-10, then lost at Seattle 23-17. "I live in Las Vegas, but Im originally from San Francisco. Ive seen John Brodie back in the day, and Joe Montana. I really wanted to go up there to see the Niners," Williams said. "I think the tickets should be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, not based on who they want in the crowd." Tim Anderson Jersey . Last year, Matt Kuchar closed with a 4-under 68 to beat Kevin Chappell by two strokes for his second win of the 2013 season and sixth of his career. Luis Aparicio Jersey . -- Stanley Johnson scored all 18 of his points in the second half, T. http://www.whitesoxteamshop.com/White-Sox-Michael-Jordan-Kids-Jersey/ . Detroits powerful offence made that unnecessary. Scherzer allowed two hits and struck out seven, and the Tigers backed their star right-hander with three early homers in an 8-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis made a tactical choice to imitate Baltimore on Sunday.Andrew Luck played keep away. The Colts running backs overpowered defenders. And when defensive stops were needed, Indy came up with the biggest plays of all.Luck threw one touchdown pass, ran for another Sunday and masterfully milked the clock late before Indys suddenly stout defence snuffed out the Ravens final chance with a daring deflection to preserve a 20-13 victory.Im pretty sure he (Chuck Pagano) is trying to instil the same traits in us with being a physical team, cornerback Vontae Davis said of Indys coach, who spent four seasons on the Ravens staff. It was a physical game.No, it wasnt pretty.Luck threw two interceptions, had one touchdown called back because of a rare penalty on Reggie Wayne and couldnt convert on fourth-and-1 on the Colts opening possession. He still finished 32 of 49 with 312 yards and the TD, and his nimble 13-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter wound up providing the decisive points.Indy also lost two fumbles and two of those four turnovers a€” Lucks third-quarter interception at the Baltimore 18 and Ahmad Bradshaws fumble at the Ravens 10 with 1:49 left a€” made the finish infinitely more difficult. It wasnt over until cornerback Greg Tolers diving deflection prevented Torrey Smith, who had gotten behind him on fourth-and-3 with 32 seconds left.Indianapolis (3-2) has won three straight and now owns a share of the AFC South lead thanks to Houstons overtime loss to Dallas.They (Baltimore) do such a great job of standing strong in the red zone and not giving up touchdowns, Luck said. We knew that coming in. We talked about if we werent getting (scores) early, stick with it. Dont get frustrated.The Colts patience paid off with Lucks 6-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen with 10:33 left in the third quarter, and then with Lucks TD run with 8:56 left in the game that made it 20-6.But it was a strange game.Both teams missed scoring chances in the first half when they couldnt convert on fourth down. Both coaches, Pagano and John Harbaugh, lost first-half challenges as they attempted to get spots overturned. The teams combined for seven turnovers, and Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was sacked a season-high four times a€” one more than his combined total in the first four weeks this season.Even Lucas Oil Staadiums retractable roof was closed at halftime because of the threat of rain, the first time thats happened during a regular-season game since the stadium opened in 2008. Ron Santo Jersey. The biggest surprise might have been Indys surging defence, which allowed a season-low 13 points, limited Baltimore (3-2) to just 1 of 11 third-down conversions and helped produce a 17 1/2-minute disparity in time of possession.Flacco finished 22 of 38 for 235 yards and no touchdowns, and his top two receivers a€” Steve Smith and Torrey Smith a€” combined to make eight catches for 72 yards. Baltimores only touchdown came on Justin Forsetts 11-yard TD run with 7:16 to go.The predictable result: Baltimores three-game winning streak ended as it dropped to 0-5 all-time in Indianapolis.They came after us a pretty good amount. When they do that, when they come after us, its tough to throw the ball, and we werent quite able to make those plays, Flacco said. We needed to hurt them a little bit more. We needed to take advantage of that.In the first half, it was all defence a€” and all field goals.Steve Smiths fumble on the Ravens first offensive play led to Adam Vinatieris 38-yard field goal.Vinatieri made it 6-0 late in the second quarter after one defensive penalty gave the Colts a second chance to score a touchdown, and an offensive penalty later wiped out a touchdown pass.Baltimore finally got on the scoreboard with Justin Tuckers 52-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, cutting the deficit to 6-3.But in the second half, the Colts applied even more pressure with Luck and the ground game taking charge on offence and the defence holding fast, a strategy Baltimore prefers.(Against Baltimore) you expect things not to go as expected. What you do expect is a tough, gritty, down-to-the-wire (game), Luck said. We survived our mistakes, in a sense. We made our plays enough to get a win.NOTES: Recently reinstated Colts linebacker Robert Mathis watched the game from the sideline. ... Reggie Wayne caught seven passes for 77 yards and passed Cris Carter for No. 8 on the NFLs career list in yards receiving. Wayne now has 13,950 yards. ... Ravens left guard Kelechi Osemele left briefly in the third quarter with a sprained right knee, but did return.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Bosnia Herzegovina Soccer Jerseys Cheap Belgium Soccer Jerseys Cheap Austria Soccer Jerseys Cheap Australia Soccer Jerseys Cheap Danmark Soccer Jerseys Cheap Ecuador Soccer Jerseys Cheap Egypt Soccer Jerseys Cheap England Soccer Jerseys Cheap Finland Soccer Jerseys Cheap France Soccer Jerseys Cheap Germany Soccer Jerseys Cheap Ghana Soccer Jerseys Cheap Greece Soccer Jerseys Cheap Argentina Soccer Jerseys Cheap Netherlands Soccer Jerseys Cheap Honduras Soccer Jerseys Cheap Hungary Soccer Jerseys Cheap Iceland Soccer Jerseys Cheap Indonesia Soccer Jerseys Cheap Iraq Soccer Jerseys ' ' '
